Table 43.1 - Stratton

I do not recommend dining at this restaurant. Tonight, they offered a buffet, but there was no enforcement of mask-wearing. Families with children were hovering around the shared food trays, and some children were even serving themselves with their hands. We brought this to the attention of the staff, but no action was taken. We quickly paid our bill and left, informing the staff at the Black Bear hotel, only to be told that nothing could be done. It was a very disappointing experience; masks should definitely be required in a buffet setting.

I wouldn't recommend ordering food from here. I understand that everything has been more challenging due to COVID-19, but considering the prices they charge, it’s hard to justify. To put it bluntly, even Wendy's and other fast-food places serve a better-quality chicken sandwich, which was dry and lacked flavor. On top of that, they added a hefty gratuity to our takeout order.

This restaurant at Stratton Mountain offers ample parking. We called ahead for takeout and were not disappointed. The food was prepared quickly, which was perfect after our 7-hour drive. My husband ordered the pork chop, and it was fantastic. I opted for the burger, which was excellent. Our child enjoyed his chicken tenders from the kids' menu. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese, and it was very tasty. The tables were properly spaced for social distancing, and the staff was extremely friendly. I will definitely return!

I dined at Table 43.1 on a weekday and found the place nearly empty. The decor is stunning, creating a cozy atmosphere, especially with the fireplace glowing in the spacious room. The menu is quite intriguing. Since we weren't too hungry, the four of us opted for just a few appetizers, planning to decide on entrées later. We ordered Duck Wings with Maple BBQ sauce, Poutine, and Mediterranean Street Fries. The portions were generous! The wings were crispy and flavorful, while the Poutine was delicious and loaded with tender short rib meat. The sweet potato fries offered a unique blend of flavors and textures. By the time we finished the appetizers, we were already quite full. Nonetheless, we ordered a Fried Chicken entrée, southern style, which was quite tasty. To wrap up our meal, we decided to share some ice cream and ordered a large bowl with four spoons. It turned out to be enormous, holding four scoops! The local ice cream was delightful, topped with salted caramel, chocolate sauce, and candied nuts – absolutely delicious! The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience here, making it a perfect choice after a long day on the slopes, just a few steps from our room.

I had an excellent dinner tonight. We ordered four appetizers, and they were all fantastic. Plus, our waitress was incredibly friendly!
