Restaurants Closer to The Ponds
Richmond and Waterbury are both very cute towns. Unfortunately, most of my (Caitlin's) experiences eating in these towns have been at gas stations getting hot cocoa and a cookie after skiing or hiking.
Bridge Street Cafe
Apparently, this restaurant has a little bit of everything. If it's truly a cafe, then I believe it because I heart cafes (as Julie Smith would say).
The Kitchen Table Bistro
This is a chef-owned American Bistro. I have no clue what it's like, but you may like it. And, if you do, you should let me know so I can try it!
Sonoma Station
To me, this name sounds like "Sonoco Gas Station", so it may taste like that. But, online it states that it serves "Fine cuisine in a casual atmosphere."
Bailey's At Bolton Valley
This is located within the Bolton Valley Resort, where the wedding and reception are held. It apparently has very good food and a great atmosphere.
Arvad's Grill and Pub
Matt, Marian (Matt's wonderful Mom), my Mom and I had a delicious lunch here. It has a little bit of everything and a great front porch on the main street.
The Alchemist Pub and Brewery
This is a 7 barrel pub specializing in home brews. They serve Vermont local bar fare . . . cheeses, paninis, flatbread pizzas, and other amazing foods. It looks very fun and I recall hearing its name in the past used in a positive manner. So, I assume it's as good as it sounds!
Zachary's Pizza House
Pizza is delicous. It's hard to go wrong with pizza. Waterbury is a beautiful, old Vermont town. If it takes pizza to get you there, so be it. But, if you want a tour of small Vermont towns, don't miss Waterbury (or Middlebury!).
