The ambiance was lovely - great space! I enjoyed my seafood pie, but I felt there was too much mashed potato in proportion to the amount of seafood in it. The arugula salad was terrific - plenty for two of us - as was the whipped feta with pears. My husband very much liked his meatloaf (it looked like a small portion of the meat to me, but he was fine with it). Our son really liked the scallops as well. There were five, which was generous, but the MP was $55, which is quite high for Brattleboro. We also weren't thrilled when our bill arrived and we found out that the sparkling water was $10, whereas our server only asked if we preferred filtered or sparkling water without mentioning the cost. We will gladly return, but knowing the cost in advance. The menu had some really good choices - the food was yummy and interesting without being dauntingly esoteric.

The ambience and lunch menu at the Hermitage Inn have that perfect Vermont charm. Kudos to the creator of the outstanding cocktails and mocktails which were unique and delicious. Our family holiday time spent together in the warm and inviting tavern was so wonderful, due to the staff and especially our attentive server, Crystal.

One of our favorites places. Never disappoints! Food and service were excellent. Would recommend to anyone that wants to treat themselves to great food and wine.

We had a great time, and the food was amazing. The baked Brie was fantastic! Matt and Jeffery were attentive and personable. We look forward to going back to Johnny’s Tavern!

The food was delicious and our chef was a lot of fun
