"If I could I would give this place a 0. Yes we did have a reservation and yes we did make it 6 months in advance and yes it was Christmas Eve. But what was ridiculous was that they sat us right by the bar and door at a folding table. This family who had been waiting before us got there right before us and was super snooty to us and the hostess. They were rude. So we decided to sit and eat downstairs at the restaurant in the lobby which honestly was so much better. The snotty family obviously was seating in the back of Flannel at a great non folding table. What a disappointment.Yes it was Christmas Eve, but we made our reservation 6 months in advance. We get to the restaurant for our reservation on time and we have to wait 20 minutes to be seated. This super snotty family was also waiting to be seated and the hostess told us to wait outside and that they were clearing our table. We waited in a hallway with no seats trying our best to be patient. Then they proceeded to sit the other family at our table and then made them get up and sit at the bar. So unprofessional. We finally sat down at the worst table in the restaurant. It was a folding table squeezed into the room because they completely overbooked the place. It was not ideal to be eating Christmas Eve dinner at a folding table. We left it was terrible. We sat at the restaurant downstairs which was great but was not our original plan at all. It’s understandable to have problems on Christmas Eve but not like that. The waitress and the hostess both looked like they were about to cry. Rate: 0/10 so disappointing."

"A group of our friends in stowe vt sought something else, so we decided to try Stowe Fondue. I never had a sitting fondue dinner, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I can say that I was blown away from the whole experience. Our waitress was very nice and made us feel comfortable. Although I live in the area, I had never eaten in the Stowe Inn or Stowe Fondue, but the restaurant interior was surprisingly beautiful. It is a fairly open restaurant with different levels that all have a beautiful view of the huge glass windows that surround the entire restaurant room. Now to the important part THE FOOD! 1. Course: Fondue. We tried the special at night, that was a pilsner/red pepper cheese mixture that was amazing. Our friends got the classic Swiss fondue (Finally go with friends and order different options, so you can share all! that was also delicious. 2nd course: Meat. Not only typical meat We have beef talloin, lamb lilypops, pork talloin and Oh yes more beef talloin (no great seafood fans in our group). They cook your own meat in a delicious broth or hot oil. Since we had four people, we both tried. It was a really neat experience cooking your own meat during the dinning in a restaurant. We didn't know exactly what to do, but from the waitress gave us a good advice and put us on the right path. All we cooked was delicious, and it was a lot of fun. I personally enjoyed the hot broth a little more than the hot oil (both a little slower, though , and I loved the beef zartloin (obvily, who did not do, and lamb lipops. You can also choose sauces. We tried four sauces, all added to the already incredible tasting food we cooked, 3rd course: chocolate fondue. I usually don't order desserts at dinner because I'm usually so full of my appetizers and main course, but with fondue it seems like you can enjoy more and more! That's not to say that I wasn't full when I left. Back to food, the chocolate fondue was decadent and it offered a variety of fruits, cookies, marshmallows and other snacks for diving. No surprise, everything with delicious. All in all, it was a really funny and very unique culinary experience unlike I had anywhere else. I am now a big fan of Swiss fondue restaurants, especially Stowe Fondue, and I will certainly return (big choice when visiting family and friends! ."
