    Beautiful setting inside the museum. My table was looking out over the lawn and sculpture towards the mountains. Very attentive. Went for brunch- there were families children, a table full of couples celebrating a birthday, and some tables of couples and friends. Something for everyone. Crispy chicken sandwich was delicious!

    Stellar, as always. The French Toast “sticks” are an exercise in modesty as they are massive. Not to mention the best in Vermont.
