Harrison's Restaurant (Stowe, Vermont)

This past weekend, Bret and I decided to take the Friday off of work and have a wonderful long weekend in Stowe, Vermont.  While we were there, we had some really memorable meals, including a satisfying late lunch at Jaime's on Main and a wonderful three-course tasting menu at Michael's on the Hill.  I was too caught up in the moment and didn't photograph either of those meals.  I did, however, remember to take some photos of dinner Friday night at Harrison's Restaurant. 

After grabbing a pre-dinner cocktail (or two) at the Whip Bar and Grill, Bret and I were both famished for our 8:30 PM dinner reservation.  The restaurant was incredibly cozy with a roaring fireplace and intimate tables and booths.

I was ready to celebrate a weekend of relaxation, so I started out with a glass of bubbly.

Bret and I perused the menu and decided to split an appetizer of fried calamari.  While I adored the fried banana peppers, the calamari weren't really crispy and seemed almost soggy.  I was definitely a little disappointed.

Our entrees, however, were a lot better.  We both ordered the house cheese burger with fries.  I ordered mine medium and Bret ordered his medium-rare.  Mine came as medium-rare and Bret's was a bit more medium.  Bret said he didn't mind his burger being a little over-cooked though because the beef was still so juicy and flavorful.

The fries were pretty crispy and nicely not heavily salted.  The coleslaw, however, lacked definite seasoning and needed a heavier hand with the salt!

Our dinner was really simple but it definitely left us feeling content and satiated.

Harrison's Restaurant is located at 25 Main Street, Stowe, Vermont.
