   Wings and servers were great as well as drinks and desert. Main meals disappointing. Spices were overused on salmon and pesto , fried fish had lots of batter on it and overcooked.

   Thank you taking the time to provide your honest feedback. I apologize for your disappointing dining experience with us. While we certainly are not perfect, we have been fortunate to provide more positive experiences than negative. I am not sure what may of happened with overspiced pesto and salmon as we use a basic pesto recipe and the salmon glaze has only 4 ingredients. I make no excuse for the overcooked fish. If you would ever consider a return visit, please reach out . The items that were a challenge have actually been some of our most popular and successful dishes over the years and I would welcome the opportunity to prepare them again (or something else) for you

   Not only is the Red Slate restaurant convenient when you're staying at the cozy Upper Lodge or skiing at Magic Mountain, it's got delicious food and the service is super friendly. It does take some time to get dinner, but that's because everything is made fresh! So just be aware, and relax! Enjoyed the food, the service, the cozy space. Definitely recommend.

   Great place for relaxed family dining after a day of skiing. Friendly, helpful staff. The burgers and fish fry were great and the cocktails were delicious.

   We always enjoy the service provided. Wings never fail to please, as do VT based cocktails.

   This was a weird experience. Sunday night the weekend between Christmas and New Years and there was almost no one around. Maybe 10 people at the bar, which was lively and appeared to get drinks and food quickly, but only 2 tables of 4 or fewer people in the dining room. We arrived, and it was 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us at all. Finally the bartender came around and confirmed our reservation and sat us, without menus. Another few minutes and the waitress said she would be right there. We were given waters, and a another 5 minutes before we had menus. The drinks were slow to arrive, but the broccoli cheddar soup came out quickly, and was absolutely delicious! We waited another 40 minutes for our dinners - both the same pesto linguini with grilled chicken. I was underwhelmed: the chicken was grilled and tasty, but the pesto was flat, the linguini undercooked, and the dish needed finishing with a touch of cream or parmigiano. It was also served with summer squash and zucchini - an odd touch of summer for a holiday weekend. We were given a free dessert for our wait times, and the waitstaff was friendly albeit missing. Probably won't revisit this one, even though I am a local and we have a lack of restaurants to choose from.

   Thank you for taking the time to provide your honest feedback. I apologize for the disappointing experience we provivded. I make no excuses for the poor execution that evening. We had some challenges that we were not prepared for. While we certainly are not perfect, we have been fortunate to be able to provide more positive experiences than negative. Hopefully you will consider giving us another chance in the future
