We are always looking for a place for Sunday Brunch. In our area brunch is seasonal and during this visit it was the first Sunday brunch of ski season. We were so pleased they were open! The kitchen gave us an outstanding brunch - perfectly cooked eggs and steak, delicious hollandaise, lux salads and a special chocolate desert for my mom, turning 92. We celebrate her birthdays now with as many adventures and lovely food experiences as we can and Hermitage is first on the list. The staff and the owner of the Hermitage always make their guests feel special. We found the perfect bottle of wine in their extensive cellars and enjoyed our experience immensely. The snowfield view out the windows and the cozy atmosphere of the Tavern room provided us with the perfect place for a good old fashioned family catch up. Our waitress was just delightful and the owner opened our wine for us and chatted a bit. Thank you Hermitage. We will come back for brunch as long as you offer it this season. There is nothing that comes close in the area.

the Thanksgiving buffet was extensive and most of the selections were very good. The desserts were a disappointment, however, the mains & appetizers were very tasty. All in all, it was good but not great.

Reserved a table for 5 to bring colleagues from out of town for a fine dining experience in the beautiful Hermitage inn .I’ve been many times but I hadn’t been there in a few years. The food was so-so, plenty expensive,but the real issue was the wedding in the adjoining room. Blasting BeeGees, Abba, Neil Diamond! If you’re booking a wedding don’t take dinner reservations! It was an embarrassment, and a completely unpleasant experience. I’d have left but where were we going to find a table for 5 last minute on a Friday night?
