Just down the road from the snowflake museum…

.

.

We discovered a gem.

.

.

Housed in an old inn, the restaurant/bar was warm and inviting.

.

.

Most of the dining sections were full so we grabbed a high top near the empty bar.

.

.

Seeing the empty bar made me wonder about the quality of libations….

.

.

But a stellar blood orange cranberry gin fizz allayed my fears.

Of course this was Vermont, so some of the menu items put me off.

.

.

A skillet full of kale? There wasn’t enough gin in the state to make me order that.

.

.

Ditto the falafel, though the maple chicken didn’t sound bad.

.

.

But the clam chowder was homemade, rich, creamy and full of fresh herbs so I started with that.. accompanied by the most amazing peach cornbread with orange whipped butter you’ve ever tasted. Ooh la la! I raved over them so much the waitress brought me extra of both to take home.

The beer? I thought you might notice that.

.

.

I tried both of these.

.

.

Because a girl gets thirsty when she eats salad.

😉

.

.

We enjoyed this place so much we stayed long enough to order dessert. (Mainly because the husband found a fellow veteran to talk to… and you know how long that can take.)

Pumpkin cheesecake for him, Key lime pie for yours truly.

If you’re ever in the Jericho area of Vermont drop in. You won’t be sorry.
