The Bench 492 Mountain Road, Stowe, VT 05672

"I love this place! They were able to make a white sangria without it being on the menu and it was perfection. The Mac and cheese is phenomenal I added bacon to it which was an excellent addition. My husband also loved his meal as well so we will definitely be adding to our list of places to return to. Young hostess was a little amiss had to grab our own highchair but the wait staff and great food more than made up for it."

"What was expected to be an ok dinner turned into WOW!!! The specialty drinks, beers, appetizers, entrees and desserts were unique, creative, artistic and absolutely delicious!! Relaxed cozy atmosphere to enjoy after a day in the snow!! Photos: chicken pot pie, lasagna, duck"

"This was a great choice for dinner. There was a 25 minute wait and I asked if I could place an order to go and was told they’d stopped taking to go orders at 6. It was about 6:25. Then she suggested we go to the bartender and ask the bartender if she would take the order for it. She did one better and sat us at the bar. I asked for suggestions for a local beer and she said all the beers were local. I had a pale ale that was perfect with the ribs which fell off the bone. Highly recommend. My dinner date enjoyed the salmon tacos. We are staying across the street at the Field Guide Inn so it was very convenient and fortunately really good. It’s worth checking out."

"Great view. The service was awesome. Quick and courteous. There was a 45-minute wait on a Tuesday at 6:30pm. The fried chicken sandwich had kimchi and was really good. The hellbrook pizza was a pepperoni pizza that was great. The sunrise on spruce was an excellent gin based cocktail and I don't even like gin. An excellent place to stop in Stowe."
