Vasarely’s

Saturday night during «leaf season» in October and the restaurant was mostly empty. There are reasons for that. The food was poor to bad and tasted like it came out of a bag. The so-​called homemade mashed potatoes were runny with the consistency of a boxed product. The pot roast and meatloaf were both awful. The service was indifferent (the place is for sale according to a web listing so perhaps the long-​term job prospect for the server was poor but that is no excuse). And most shocking of all, the only other occupied table of patrons asked for bread for their hungry child and were told it was $ 3.00 extra for a basket of three very ordinary doughy commercial rolls. Skip this place and go next door or someplace else.

We went to Vasarely’s for dinner during our stay at our friends mountain cabin. Unfortunately there is not a tremendous amount of options on top of the mountain. We did not want to go to the bottom of the mountain that night and it was between pizza or Vasarely’s. We chose Vasarely’s… When we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant. It was a little strange because it was Friday night at 7pm. I was hoping that the it was not empty because of the food. They stated that they had the best mountain trout. Most of the dishes on the menu seemed to be a bit overpriced for what you they were. The dishes were between $ 16 and $ 30. I chose to stick with the trout with roasted potato’s and mac and cheese for $ 18 and my wife got the salmon. I do not remember the price but it was probably around $ 20. I found the trout, potatoes and mac and cheese to be very average, specially for $ 18. It was also the first time I have not seen my wife finish her fish at a restaurant. She is not one to complain so when I seen she was not really touching it I decided to try it and it was so dry it was hard to swallow. The smaller half of the fillet was actually burnt and not edible. The server was so amazing and being the only customers there we really did not want to complain. Nor did we want to wait any longer for re fired food. Ultimately, it is a very average place with above average pricing. I probably would not go back to the restaurant.
