   Five star prices for, at best, two star food. What do you think of when you hear curry? A little sweetness from the coconut milk, a little savory from the curry spice, and at least a little bit of picante from the chili paste. You expect the flavors to pop! The curry I had last night provided none of that. It was absolutely bland. I can coax more flavor out of my daily morning oatmeal than the chef did from that curry. We've been coming to Trapps for many years but never for the food. It is average at best, but last night really made my blood pressure rise given the five star prices that are charged. Thankfully they took it off the bill. There's that at least. If you come, stick to the meat and potato offerings. If it's bland, at least you can add salt and have it be passable.

   It was great as usual. Noise level was kind of a problem in the evening with a group of middle school kids and piano playing. Kids that age are just normally full of energy but it’s unusual to have a group of about 30+ in the dining room.

   The Trapp Family Resort dining experience has a lot to improve upon. Mainly the amount of food for the dollars is not copesetic. An appetizer Ceasars' salad is $14.00 for a very small amount of salad. The carpaccio for $20.00 is anemic at best, two small slices of beef along with some greens and some old, and I don't mean aged, cheese. A deck of cards piece of Cod, $40.00. I understand it is a resort and they can do this and get away with it. Doesn't make it right. If it were not for Warren, a most energetic and engaging waiter, the dinners would have been a total bomb, in my opinion. I had the worst piece of venison I have ever experienced .. The herb crust, that should have been my warning, was over spiced and masked completely the taste of the meat. I could not eat it and sent it back. if you go, do take the breakfast plan because if you decide to have the continental breakfast it is $2.50 for each individual item. In all honestly, the breakfasts were good. It got better on Thursday and Friday when a buffet was served. The food was hot, tasty and fresh and presented in an appetizing way. The rooms at the hotel are good. Due to the weather we were not able to take advantage of our patio and enjoy the scenery but I can see how relaxing that would be. The room itself was spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed. The noise level could be improved upon as I was able to hear an entire conversation, without trying, from the folks next room about their "miserable" grand kids. Throughout our stay I kept being reminded of the Catskills resort as in the movie, "Dirty Dancing".

   The bartender was nervous and impatient. One of our servers was over zealous and made our dining experience uncomfortable. It was unnecessary and unwanted. Most desserts were unavailable. It was an uneven experience

   We had high hopes based on the reputation of the Trapp Lodge but they were not met. It was very noisy. The service was not great. It took a while for us to be asked what we wanted to drink and then when we were out of our drank and water we waited and had to ask for them to be refilled. Food was good, but we were not asked about if we wanted dessert. They were out of a salad that I asked for, but the server was unaware that they were out of it when I ordered. The vegetables were over cooked.

   My entree was delicious and prepared wonderfully. Unfortunately, my dinner partner was not too impressed with the steak she received. For the price it was quite fatty. The Egg Nog cheese cake was not overly special. The ambiance was great. Overall we loved the Trapp Family Lodge.

    Unfortunately, our dinner was not very good at the dining hall. I had ordered their prime rib special and it was tough, undercooked even though I asked for medium. The spinach was very wilted and the mashed potatoes were just ok. The bread to begin with was stale, even confirmed by our waiter. The choices for dessert were very minimal, only two flavors of ice cream when Ben & Jerry's is just down the block! We had booked several other nights to dine in the main dining hall but cancelled all and went elsewhere. Very disappointing.

    Everything about Trapp Family dining is and was wonderful! 1-it’s so nice to have a Buffett back!! Enough of this over Covid reaction. 2- this is not your typical buffet. Every dish is 5 Starr quality. So many choices and each dish done to perfection. Absolutely perfect!

    Food was okay. Half of our party liked their dishes, the other half thought it was okay, but bland. View is gorgeous and the room has a nice vibe with a man playing the piano. Waitress was nice and attentive. I think she was new so struggled with the drink orders a bit but other than that she was lovely. Management of the restaurant needs some work. Got an odd call after we left not explaining why but we didn’t leave a room number. We weren’t staying there. Got a 2nd call back saying we didn’t pay our bill (we did- the waitress took our card and gave us a receipt to sign). Could’ve just been a mistake on their end maybe not running it correctly but the way they interacted on the phone with me I thought was rude. It was an expensive meal so they should have been more professional about it. Whole thing kinda ruined it for me and I won’t be back again. I don’t think it’s worth it. There are so many amazing restaurants in Stowe to go to instead.

    We had breakfast on Tuesday in the main dining room. We came here in 2005 and adored it, now, not so much. We are sensitive that the lodging and restaurant industry has had a difficult time during the pandemic, and difficulty getting help, but we were SO disappointed on so many levels. Dusty drapes, cobwebbed corners, dirty carpets, weak coffee, and so so breakfast choices. This was a buffet with not a bottle of hand sanitizer in site before people handled the tongs for buffet items. The whole Inn speaks as “tired”, when it used to be and could be so much more. The new Bierhall is a shining star on the property. Good food there and great atmosphere.

    On our first morning (of 3) at the lodge there was no french toast, only pancakes and waffles, on the breakfast buffet with which to dip in the warm maple syrup. I made a pouty-face and expressed my disappointment to the waiter (Victor) who apparently informed the chef. Much to my delight, he came with a plate of freshly made french toast - enough for me and also to share with my table mates. It was a lovely surprise, completely unexpected, and well above and beyond what was necessary. It made my whole day though, so thanks Victor and chef!

    We enjoyed a delicious Easter brunch in the Salzburg room. Even though it was busy, the room felt quiet and spacious. There was a variety of food options and everything tasted great. We were able to linger and did not feel rushed. It was pricey at $60 pp, but not atypical of similar buffets in such a nice setting.

    Very outdated and tired. Needs a massive remodel to update the property and cuisine. It’s in a beautiful location so there is lots of potential. Definitely not worth the cost of dinner for the overall experience and quality of the food. .
