Matterhorn was great. It was really busy given it’s Christmas season but we were able to snag a spot for 2. The ahi tuna nachos were incredible. The pork dumplings were okay. We loved the American sushi. Overall food 4 out of 5 since it’s more bar food vibes but worth every penny. We will be back. We love the vibes.

Great find near Stowe. We were driving through smugglers notch and felt that we should finish dinner before reaching hotel.
We just found it on the way and went in. Luckily we got seat straight away.
We had one salad, one veg pizza and one sushi ordered and fist 2 item came pretty soon. We really liked both salad and pizza. Vegetables felt so fresh and taste was amazing.
Sushi came after a while and it was little fancy as it was lit on the table to cook inside food. Taste was good but slightly burnt feeling because of fire. I will try other one next time.
Interior is nice and have lot of space. We were seated on covered patio and next to us was a small stream flowing, that was nice touch.
Enough of parking is available outside and it’s free.

First, our server is amazing. He was really nice. Very attentive.
Second, the food was okay. We got the viagra sushi roll – I think the size of it is too pricey for the roll. It was an okay sushi. Then we got the Vermont cheese steak with truffle fries. That one was good. I really liked their truffle fries. It wasn’t an overwhelming truffle. They have a good drink selection. We also got the clam chowder bowl. The bowl was big but the amount of clam chowder on that bowl is not a lot. It felt like the amount of chowder on that bowl is a cup size.
Third, we are a party of two. Sat on a high table next to the band. It got really loud (of course) when the band started but it was fine. We enjoyed it.

As others have said, we got dinged with a $10 cover charge. With two tables of six, we were out $120 before we sat down. Even charged the kids. Shakedown. I love live music, but didn’t care for the surprise, and I wasn’t staying for the show. I’m not a local here but have been going for years. Service was pretty bad. I don’t need great service, especially for pizza and beer, but nothing went well. We had to ask for everything – silverware, napkins, plates etc. Food came out, no plates, no forks, napkins. I had to get my own plates back near the kitchen. Nothing was cleared. Nothing. Server seemed annoyed that we had the nerve to ask for water, then returned with shooter sized glasses. And this happened at both tables. There just seemed to be more of a focus on selling drinks and having a crowded pub/band venue, than being a dinning space. Thats fine if that’s what they are now trying to be or what you’re looking for, but vastly different than what we have experienced in the past. So, want crowded pub with live music, I’d say go. Want to chill and have a conversation with friends and have a decent dining experience after a ski day, I’d say pass. Also, food is reasonably priced. Beer options good. PBR $6, Fiddleheads $9. Sushi does end early, so check if that’s what you’re looking for. At 8:30, we could not order sushi.

This a ski bar restaurant with decent pricing and healthy portions and friendly staff. It is a local favorite with a casual bar vibe. Definitely make reservations and dine early. We arrived around 5:15pm on a summer Friday so that made parking and seating much easier. The place is very large with backyard seating and they have a fun list of beers on tap. Our waiter was great – very accommodating and mostly attentive. Almost all the food had “yummy sauce” on it – someone needs to tell them that it’s not so yummy – it’s just super sweet mild BBQ sauce. We had heard they have great sushi. The Matterhorn poke bowl was good and I skipped the yummy sauce and opted for soy sauce instead – it was so huge that I managed to only eat half of it. The California roll was good too. The quality of the sushi is standard – about the same as Sushi Yoshi but definitely more food for the money. The selection is mostly rolls and a la carte sushi or sashimi by the piece so no sushi or sashimi dinner combinations. There is the party platter $99 for 5 rolls, 4 pieces of sushi and 8 sashimi but we’d probably still be there trying to finish it. The 12 oz NY strip steak was good and we skipped the bourbon sauce because it really doesn’t need it. The glazed brussel sprouts were a surprise – a little dry and charred but flavorful and all were eaten. We wanted to try the chocolate confusion cake but had no room left! We were a bit disappointed when we responded that we’d like indoor seating and were not seated in the very popular indoor patio tables by the stream – it was our first time dining here so we didn’t know to ask for that seating but it became obvious we were in the least popular seating as we sat by ourselves while the rest of the restaurant filled until a very large group arrived and were seated near us. This group enjoyed multiple pizzas. It is definitely kid friendly and good for large groups – just make sure you have reservations. For me a 3.5 stars but since the rating must a whole star and we will go back, I’ve rounded up.

Came here for dinner on the recommendation of someone local in Stowe. We needed to find someplace that would have outdoor seating and be friendly to us having our dog with us and this fit the bill perfectly. Their outdoor seating area is right next to a stream and trees. We ordered a large pizza to split between the two of us and it was plenty of food. We got a Mediterranean pizza and the flavor combinations were great. Afterwards we got their chocolate cake and loved every bite. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The inside area looked cool and there’s a stage that looks like it’s well used. If we’re back in the area again we’ll certainly have this on our list! Definitely recommend!

I ordered the dynamite roll. Portion was very small, only 5 pieces. I did not care for the sauce; if I had known it was a mayo based sauce I would have told them not to put it on. The place was packed but we were able to get a 2-top quickly and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately it was so loud I couldn’t even talk to my husband. The creek in the back is nice.

A fun spot, very lively. Large bar area, great seating with views of the river. A large sushi menu, and a couple of other options as well. The lamb burger was ok, same for the Philly cheesesteak, the salad wasn’t terrific though. The real answer is the pizza- great crust, fresh toppings, several different options, it was the best meal of the night. Drinks menu was ok, there is a full bar, but surprisingly not many hot apres ski drinks- a hot tottie and a schnapps hot chocolate (which was good). Seems like everywhere in Stowe was understaffed this week. Service was friendly, but slow. Still a nice view and good pizza made it a worthwhile stop.

Food was decent but service was slow. It was very evident that they were understaffed and busy. However, still worth stopping in but try and make a reservation if you can, it does get busy.

If you are skiing in Stowe you have to stop at least once and take in all that the Matterhorn has to offer. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect stepping into a après ski bar/restaurant. The decor is rustic, the views from the porch are magical, and the staff is kind, funny, and very attentive. The pizza, sushi, and drinks hit the spot and as crazy as the menu seems (pizza and sushi) it ensures that there is truly something for everything. Reservations didn’t seem to be needed on a weeknight but we made them anyway, we also went on a Saturday and were glad we had them. It is a great mix of locals and tourist and a very diverse crowd that got along in a way that only Vermonters could.
