Reviews for The Bistro at Ten Acres in Stowe, VT
Cute little bistro! They were very accommodating. The food was delicious! Kevin or Keith our server? (Sorry, forgot his name)... was very sweet. Just what we needed after a day on the gondola. We got the duck, super crispy and you can never go wrong withsteak and mashed potatoes. The butternut soup was really nice as well. Read more
Ordered the salmon with fingerling potatoes, wild mushrooms etc. The salmon was sizable, fatty but tasty. One small potato (cut... in half) and maybe 3 tiny mushrooms. Not too impressed for the $$$$ price. Read more
Amazing food at a beautiful location. The food was amazing. We got a Butternut Squash bisque to start, the House Salad, and... the Pork Tenderloin. The entre was rich with flavor. The location was great - close enough to Stowe to be very accessible, butjust far enough away to feel isolated enough to be relaxing. The prices were fair considering the tourist town status Stowe hasdeveloped. Read more
We had a great dinner after just arriving in Stowe. We were promptly seated even without having reservations and our waitress... was fantastic the whole evening. We ended up ordering three appetizers and a dessert to split. The cheese board and trufflefries were great, but the crispy brussel sprouts with kimchi aioli were absolutely divine. We are still thinking about them. Thepeanut butter pie was also very good and not too rich or sweet. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Stowe! Read more
Pros: 1. Views from the patio 2. Moule Frites was decent with large portions of seafood Cons: 1. Very poor service - waited... over 20mins before server approached our table to offer water and take our order. Meanwhile, they got the table assignmentswrong and the food runner kept bringing orders for a different table (not his fault). After the third time this happened, wefinally had him flag down our server to come to our table. Service was very poor, perhaps due to short staffing. 2. Overpricedfor what you get - tiny portions for the duck and beef tartare. 3. Food quality - greasy brussels sprouts, overcooked andrubbery duck Overall the place felt like a gimmick with the views and was a letdown with disappointing food and service. Wouldrecommend passing on this place as there are much better restaurants in the area. Read more
So this place gets one star for the view from the patio which was incredible, other than that this might be the singularly most... overpriced and disappointing meal I’ve ever had. Nothing, and I mean nothing about the food was worth $40-50 a plate. Out ofthe 5 people in my party, 4 of our meals were over cooked. I got a $50 filet mignon which was honestly the worst steak I’veever had. I ordered it medium rare and it was totally over cooked and the chimichurri sauce on it was not good. The drinksweren’t good either. We left without getting dessert because I wouldn’t spend a dollar more than what we did. The best thingmight have been the hot bread and butter. Read more
Beautiful location facing the mountains but they decided to have some guy playing live music. How unfortunate. Service was... lacking. The food was disappointing across the board. The truffle fries tasted frozen and drowned in a mysterious green sauce.No indication that the veggies were freshly picked from a nearby farm. Desserts were equally disappointing and doubt they arehome made. Perhaps they get them from mail order. Cocktails tasted like hard liquor: no finesse or craftsmanship. We reallywanted to like this place but hated the whole experience. The bread and butter tasted actually good! Read more
I was excited to dine here. The place has a cozy, rustic ambiance and is great for a romantic dinner. The duck though ... I... haven't paid 50$ for such mediocrity and I am used to New York City pricing. It was unsubstantial, and very quickly cooked. Thecouscous side tried to add some seasonal fall spice but ended tasting like Greek kolyva. A good meal for a funeral. Thesalmon salad was ok but still the greens tasted like any other healthy fast food chain. Unclear if they are locally sourced.Although they were definitely priced as such. Drinks were good. Bread serving was the best part. Read more
