Steaks and appetizers are fabulous! Service and atmosphere was excellent. We enjoyed the cheese plate and wings appetizers. It's our favorite place to eat while we are in Stowe!!!

We usually spend our last night in Stowe at Whips!! it has become a bit of a tradition. Its a bit above the usual burger and fries place!!

It does a range of cocktails, very good steaks finished off with fab deserts - highly recommended is the chocolate desert for 2. (forgotten the name) I had one all to myself, a bit of a struggle to eat it but I managed it......

The service is excellent - I embarrassed myself (and Rob) I ordered a MaCallan malt. Rob had a Amaretto - both served in brandy glasses. My malt was darker than usual colour - I tasted it and I thought it tasted like brandy!!! Rob tried it and agreed with me!! I called the waiter over........ longer story shortened the bottle was brought to the table - my taste buds were not upto scratch ... the staff handled it really well.. 10/10

Thank you for your review and your 10/10 rating - can't beat that! I am so happy to hear that coming to the Whip is a tradition for you - a true complement. I am glad you enjoyed the Sac de Bon Bon - it is difficult to NOT finish it, right?! Glad to hear it was a mix up with your taste buds and not with the Amaretto.

We look forward to welcoming you back again!

I’m confused by all the good reviews for this restaurant. This restaurant, in terms of food, is nothing more than below mediocre. To start I ordered their signature chowder. It was more or less as good as the Campbells version. My friend ordered the soup of the day which was a tomato soup. This basically tasted like marinara sauce. Now to the steaks. I ordered the $38 filet with Gorgonzola cheese on top. The steak was over cooked. I ordered it medium rare and it came out medium but let’s not dwell on this. My issue was the $38 steak was obviously thawed from frozen. It was tough and sinewy. I expected a top notch steak for that price. The mashed potatoes were grainy and the “fresh vegetables” were over cooked to be the consistency of their canned brethren.

Everything was disappointing. The waiter we had was likely new so I won’t harp on her as she was obviously nervous. She did improve on attentiveness once she was looking for my credit card.

$150 for 2 people should be an excellent meal. The reason this is 1 Star is that I don’t believe they can actually do better. Both steaks were bad quality, both mashed potatoes were grainy, and all the vegetables on both plates were mooshy. This is how they believe food should be prepared.

We enjoyed a Monday evening at this beautiful restaurant. It is located with in the Green Mountain Inn and is very easy to find. The dining/ bar area is very nice with a lot of cherry wood throughout. The staff is great and very attentive. Our waitress was very helpful with suggestions from the menu. The food was amazing! We are a family of five and we like to share our food. Everyone's entree was delicious! We shared a few deserts and all were great as well! I don't think you can go wrong here!
