Reviews for The Prince & The Pauper Restaurant in Woodstock, VT
Disappointing. Maybe we caught them on an off night: the bacon-wrapped pate was tasteless (how can bacon have no flavor?); the... magret of duck was not quite right; and the so-called roasted potatoes and steamed asparagus were barely cooked. The entiremeal was only marginally edible. However, I soldiered on and was rewarded with lingering nausea. Now, my nausea may not hadbeen from MY meal; it may have been from the nearby table?s reeking fish. I?m not sure whether they had the salmon, cod orhalibut?but their fish had definitely gone bad. I don?t ordinarily leave reviews because dining is a privilege. However, at theprices they charge one would expect a refined and elegant experience. We didn?t have that experience; and I feel like it was anopportunity missed and money squandered. Read more
Great food, service and atmosphere!! Loved the ski furniture. We had a great sit down and eat lunch. Will stop by again when... in town. Read more

Tonight my boyfriend and I dined at the Prince and the Pauper on their opening night of the outdoor patio space. Upon first... impression we noticed the charming area with five outdoor tables, surrounded by beautiful raised beds, bistro lights and theoutdoor patio heaters which not only provided ambience but also warmth for the chilly VT evening. Our waitress was lovely andvery attentive throughout the evening. The food was prepared to our liking and the taste exceeded our expectations. We wouldhighly recommend the Prince and the Pauper to anyone looking for a first class dining experience in Woodstock, VT. Read more
Good locally sourced restaurant that specializes in seasonal fare along with american bistro classics. Good service with a... home-like feel - very much like an old inn. Pics are of steak frites and french onion soup, both were good (maybe 3.5 stars ifI were being generous). The ice cold butter atop the steak was a turn off. Dessert was great, chocolate ice cream puffs (5stars). Read more
Delicious. I'll say it again. Delicious food. Very attentive staff in a cozy setting. Had a fantastic time. Will be back
Food We came here the night before Valentine?s Day and they had a $80 prefixed menu. The food was mediocre at best. So were the... drinks. We had the veil ravioli and cheese board for starters. The veil ravioli was not bad, but I wish they were smaller, so itwould be at least easier to scoop it up. The cheese board was very good. Next was salad, which was worse than a homemade salad.For entrees, we had ribeye and rack of lamb. The ribeye was at least flavourful, but the rack of lamb had the lamb smell, whichthrew me off. I would say the smashed potato and the squash was the highlight of my entree. Lastly the dessert. The creambrûlée was okay, and thankfully the chocolate ice cream was very good. Everything else They borrowed the gallery shop nextdoor to extend their dining space during COVID, which was an interesting experience. The service was really nice and ourwaitress was friendly and attentive. I would have given a five star to the service, but unfortunately the food was not worth $80per person. Read more
This is one of the best fine dining restaurants we have been to. Our server Clemens was superb and a true professional--so... attentive and efficient. Our appetizer, salad and entrees were perfectly spaced. He filled our water glasses without beingasked, and filled our wine glasses just as we needed more wine. The food was fresh, delicious and expertly prepared. My duckwas the best I've ever had and my wife's halibut was amazing. The pear ginger sorbet for dessert had the same texture as apear. The ambience in the restaurant is nice, and it's perfect for a romantic dinner. Definitely will return the next time wevacation in the area. Read more
