Avaliação da contribuiçãoDisappointment is an understatement. We had New Year's Eve dinner at Green Apron, where they were hosting a $100/pp prix fixe menu. We had high expectations since this was supposed to be a new farm to table restaurant in the area. The menu looked great: rabbit rillette with date mustard and winter pickles to start, parsnip velouté and warm endives to follow, with a choice of venison filet or winter vegetables as the main course. Dessert was a pomegranate gellee and coffee mousse. Sadly, the flavors were not entirely there, the service was mediocre considering the price, and the portion sizes were laughable. The rabbit rillette was served on a tiny crostini. The dish in itself was about the size of a quarter. The plates were cold, so I presume that this was something the kitchen made ahead of time. The parsnip velouté was not bad but it was warm in some places and cold in others. Again, probably made in advance and not fully heated through. The warm endives were a joke. First off, mine were cold (and the plate was semi warm). The date that accompanied the endive was pretty disgusting. They sat on a bed of chèvre mousse which I did not enjoy, with an apple balsamic foam. Even though I tried a little bit of everything on this dish, I just couldn't eat it. It was gross. Let me make a side note here there was a bread plate at each seat. Since they did not offer bread at the start of the meal, I thought maybe it would be offered prior to the entree. I was wrong. After the endive, the servers took your choice of entree and did not ever bring you bread. I had the venison filet. Although it was tasty, the portion was half the size of a credit card. Please explain to me how that is even considered an entree. Sheer and utter disappointment. Why is this $100 per person? At this point, since we were at a table facing the window, we got a view of the torch lighting ceremony which the server couldn't really explain to me what it was except that they did it every year. Also, we had a nice view of the fireworks after. During this time, the pomegranate gellee was brought out. It was the size of a gum drop, sitting atop a spoon, resting on a saucer. Zero points for plating on this one. The coffee mousse was brought out shortly after, and it was a huge dollop of mousse with a cherry gel on the side. Also zero points for plating. It was like they weren't even trying. The checks were brought out with the quickness. Boom. Including a glass of wine and tax, I felt pretty ripped off. Service? Not the best. One of the servers over poured the champagne, so we had bubbly all over our table. Another server filled our water glasses to the brim, but these were tiny glasses. Trying to drink them without spilling was a balancing act. No bread, no small talk, you would think that they weren't happy to be working that night. Dinner sounded great, but that was all. We should have opted for take out pizza instead.
So disappointing. Last year the redo of the golf club restaurant into Green Apron was welcome. The food was supposed to be healthier, locally sourced etc. Today was awful. First, my tomato bisque soup was supposed to be vegetarian. I tasted meat and sure enough there was ground beef. Maybe they used the same ladle as the beef chili? I don't know but there was a lot in there. They apologized and took it off the bill. Next was my turkey burger. It was so salty it was inedible. My dad tried it and said the same. New turkey burger was made without adding salt which was better however when I said it was still salty the waitress said the supplier must season the patties. It's disappointing that a nice restaurant doesn't make their own patties. I gave it two stars instead of one because everyone else seemed satisfied.
I'm all about eating with convenience. The green apron is certainly a convenient place to grab lunch after playing a round of golf. We ended our round at 1:30 on Saturday and had no trouble snagging an outdoor patio table overlooking the green and Stratton mountain. We were pretty hungry so we ordered right away and our food came out pretty quickly. I had the chicken quesadilla amazing. Not heavy or oily at all which is something I'm always looking out for. My boyfriend had the chicken salad on a croissant, an interesting take on a sandwich, but a delicious one. I would definitely recommend it for before or after a round of golf.
This place deserves a much betting rating than it currently has. Been coming here now for some time and the food and service is great. My favorite thing has to the BLTAC which essentially is your standard BLT taken to another level with Avocados on a croissant. It's the kind of sandwich you'll be craving once you have it. Great beers on tap views are obviously spectacular and the French fries are good too. Had lunch yesterday there and I can't imagine why this spot would have any less than 4 stars on yelp. Service here as well is great just very friendly people over all regardless if your eating golfing or just in the pro shop.
A very cute place , totally refurbished (excluding the bathrooms).A great idea for après ski and/or dinner but they need to get the menu right. The food we had was good but with NY prices , small portions and funky dishes (if I want That I will eat in NYC). They need some bar food that you would want after skiing and a menu that has more choices And less funk. The food is not family friendly.
