I love the seasonal staff they maintain here. You never know what part of the world they’ll come from and I love interacting with people from other cultures. The food here is always on point in flavor and presentation wise.

Hi! It was a really nice visit for the breakfast buffet except for the noise. it was pretty busy and we were seated next to a group of ten and they really didn't care about their noise level and really ruined the experience...the parents and children (age 4!) were swearing right next to my children who just looked at me like did we really just hear that? so it really ruined the experience. The food was really amazing...the value....uggh.. pretty expensive, but it was a treat and we still loved the food. we will just make sure to request not to sit next to large groups next time; because these days people's attitude's don't necessarily take others into consideration around them.

Much better than the Red Barn also on site but Ardelia's has slipped since we last visited it. The waiter was a substitute thus did not know the wines or the food and the "hot" apple crisp came out stone cold. We were charged for 2 glasses of wine but we had only ordered one. In the end the restaurant apologized and deducted the crisp and the wine but slip ups like these should not happen in the first place. Clearly management at Basin Harbor needs more intensification as we were originally given an occupied room - we entered to find clothes all over the floor. Dining at Red Barn was a disaster as the mashed potatoes were cold as ice. We were served a Cobb salad instead of a Kale salad and the waiter did not know what cocktails the bar could make.

This was our second dinner at Ardelia’s. This evening we had the Caesar salad, the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the apple crisp for dessert. Husband had Pinot noir and I had a mocktail that the bartender made for me. Both were excellent. We throughly enjoyed our dinner. Our server, Abdullah, was very attentive.

Ardelia’s has an excellent breakfast buffet. There was a wide selection of hot items to choose from, including a make to order omelet bar. It seemed to me that they offered most everything you could want for breakfast. I appreciated the fresh strawberries and blueberries and Greek yogurt and pastries. I noted that there was almond milk and oat milk provided, which told me they are attentive to people like me wanting dairy alternatives. Our server, Sanja, was very attentive, keeping our coffee cups full and dishes cleared.

Upscale dining. Ardelia’s had a lot going for it just being on site at the Basin Harbor resort where we were staying. We shared a Caesar salad; we each had a cup of New England clam chowder and the evening special of short rib with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Husband had an excellent Pinot Noir with dinner. I had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and tea. Salad gets an A. It came with a nice Parmesan crisp on top. Soup was average. Part of the problem was it was barely warm. It had nice pieces of clam in it. The short ribs were good. Half of the meat was excellent, the other half was dry and there wasn’t enough sauce/gravy to compensate for the dryness. The mashed potatoes and broccolini were good. The dessert was like fudge, not my preferred style of a flourless cake but some people would like it. They had a nice selection of teas to choose from. Our server was fairly attentive. Our only problem was the hostess. Our reservation was for 7pm. We walked up to the hostess desk at 6:58. She would not seat us because she said we were early and told us to go sit in the waiting area. My husband stared at his watch counting down the two minutes. We went back to the hostess desk and we were seated. Perhaps there is a rule the hostess was following but if she had any discretion in the matter she used it poorly. It was absurd to turn us away for two minutes and it started off the evening on a sour note. Fortunately we did enjoy our meal and the ambiance of Ardelia’s.

A fantastic meal and experience. Highly recommend it. Everyone about the setting is divine. The menu was not extensive but had ample choices. The specialty drinks and cocktails were a little high but moderate. As for the food, the price was reasonable, the portions were quite large, the flavors excellent, presentation perfect!!!

We had two pasta entrees that were excellent as were our appetizers. This is a special place and one of our favorite restaurants in VT.
