The Crooked Ram

This place is unreal. Best in the area by far!! The atmosphere is perfect and the staff in great. The food was delicious. They had quite a few gluten free and vegetarian options and me and my wife ordered them all. Each one was better than the last. My kids had buttered pasta and they ordered seconds!! This area of Vermont is known for their culinary scene but with this place has changed the game. After I ate dinner he once i canceled my other reservation and ate here twice in a row because i have been to other fine dinning in the area and this place blew them out of the water.

I love the atmosphere here. It’s really the only place in town to get such a good charcuterie and really well-crafted small plates. The entrees are also the best around. Between the cafe, restaurant and yard, there is something for everyone. I went for my 30th and my vegan family members and 3-year old niece could find something, too. They even made a fancy mocktail for my niece. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried. Cocktails are also the best around and well thought out. I can order a great aperol spritz here. As for the cafe, it’s the only matcha around that’s not super sweetened and they use really good quality milk. Try the berry matcha! I know people also rave about the pastries. Servers are knowledgeable about the wine selection and very friendly.
I often have my special needs cat with me when I’m out, and they are super kind and welcoming about me bringing him in with me.

We came here three time during our two day stay in town - twice for breakfast and once for dinner. We got there right as it opened at 8am and ordered pastries and coffee. Everything was delicious and the pastries were heavenly warm having just come out of the oven, baked on site by their pastry chef. Go early to get your pick of pastries because they sold out of the daily danish during the 30 min we were eating there!

We lucked out going for dinner because we didn’t have a reservation. A stroke of luck and one of the tables opened up as we were checking on availability. Our 3-year old loved the margarita pizza and we loved the squash flower pizza and anchovy crostini. The seating is all outdoors and has a super chill vibe and they pull off being kid friendly while also feeling like a great date night spot. The service was amazing because they seem to have a communal feel where all staff help any table at any time. We felt well taken care of without feeling rushed.

5 stars across the board. Atmosphere,service, food and drinks. Started with amazing sturgeon caviar and tartare. Leg of lamb and sole for entrees, flawless. It was a dining experience that will be hard to match. Casual, fun and absolutely delicious. Our server Dan was awesome. Highly recommend!

This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The staff was superb, food divine and atmosphere was just so warm & intimate. The plating of each plate was like an art piece. Cocktails were intricate & delicious as well. This is a must go if in area!!!!

Such a unique menu and the food was amazing!! We also appreciated the presentation. Great spot for date night!

The place has casual and friendly atmosphere, their staff is polite and their service is simply spectacular. This kind of food is rare to find. Many popular places in New York could be overrated when I compare their quality with this restaurant. I really enjoyed every course.

The food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, the timing of the kitchen was perfect, and the food was delectable. Highly recommend this place!

Excellent find. Beautiful, fun outdoor space and delicious food. We had the crab toast and roasted vegetables. Both very tasty.

We used to come here during covid and it’s so nice to see this place expanding and thriving. The service is great and so personable. We try to come here every time we are in town. Dinner starts at 5. Reservations are must and book in advance. Beers on tap or to go cans. Enjoy !

Absolutely gorgeous outdoors, everyone so warm and friendly and the ambiance was perfect! Even when it was a little cooler, it was comfortable. Definitely recommend the burrata small plate, pizza (obviously) and the delicious cocktails! Hot cider wasn’t bad either 😊👏🏼

Really cute space with wonderful pastries - Irish car bomb croissant! …before a nice dinner menu which starts at 5pm.

Love this place. First time here, and I want to move to Manchester. Great draft list and then they have a huge beer selection in a back cooler. They also carry wine. And they let you sample wine and draft to pick what you want. They were sold out of heady topper, so the staff recommended 2 other beers and they were fantastic.
Their charcuterie was to die for! Best $28 I've ever spent.
Can't recommend enough if you are in the area.

From our first visit on Saturday lunch, under my wife’s name for the reservation, the atmosphere, the welcoming, the staff ambiance with each other was second to none, a relax service with the fine dining attention from each of them, and to talk about the food, I’ve never been in love with a Focaccia bread, but the burnt ends with the roasted garlic, was heavenly. The pizza’s creations are spectacular, European delicious (trust a French guy) divine pizzas. A grand bravo to the kitchen team !!!
And then, every morning picking up our iced latte from them with a magnificent pain au chocolat, and savory croissant. And to talk about their milk, A2 protein, feels like milk at home.
A superb mark in our VT yearly trip with my wife, started in 2020, you have made the reason to come back to Manchester next year.

Guillaume and Brittany ❤

George “ found” us a table. Very friendly and helpful . (Late cancellation) Dan our server was excellent. Food , drinks, desserts, after dinner drinks. All top notch!!! Hope to return soon

The Crooked Ram is wonderful and never disappoints! Everything from the wine and beer selection to the seasonal, local food is exceptional. My go-to restaurant in Manchester!

The place is fantastic. Super friendly staff. Very nice setting both inside and outside. Excellent menu of sharing dishes. We had all (!) of the starters and some mains.
Good choice of vines.

Really witty mediterranean tastes and atmosphere. Would go there every day if I lived there

Amazing panini and incredible homemade ginger-ale with sparkling water

Beautiful outdoor dining space. Great music and lighting. Salads, crab toast & mushroom pizza were all fabulous. Definitely a great positive vibe and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Food tasted healthy and delicious. Definitely recommend coming here. 🤗😁

Great meal! The wine selection covers all the bases. The crab toast is awesome and the roasted lobster is killer! The pizzas....they speak for themselves and make you smile.
