"This is the fairest rating I can write.... we were recently in Chester, VT and ate here both nights and reservations both nights - definitely a reservation!! The food, the beer, the atmosphere are all top notch- I can't blame anything on these fronts! We had such a great experience in the first night that we made a reservation for the second night of our trip. The second night... started well... but we waited long for order. I wasn't really interested at the time, they were obviously busy and short employees, and I thought... "I'm not in any special hurry, I'm on vacation." If I had known how the evening would end, I would have rejected the staff who insisted on ordering immediately. We had a great meal with great drinks and decided that we would only bring their amazing sticky great pudding for desert the bill and said that the next reservation would be there in 10 minutes and that we had to go. This policy has actually not disturbed me - it is quite popular, but normally you are told before you sit down that you are limited to 90 minutes and it should be a grace time when the waiting staff is responsible for you because they are very slow. In addition, there was a table of regular guests next to us, who ordered a few drinks, never ordered food and were allowed to be there all night while they pushed out the tourists as soon as possible. For this reason, we will never go back again, I understand that the regulars are important, but it does not feel very nice to be treated as a tourist in this way."
