Skotel Restaurant and Bar

Some lovely food in a cozy atmosphere. A little disappointed that they were out of mulled wine, but I know the ski season was winding down. My husband loved his burger. My glass of wine was tasty. Nice that they had gluten free options. Good cider selection. The servers were also being trained, which is to be expected in this transition season. They were very nice, but did not know the menu terribly well. But again, to be expected. I think my issue here was that if the servers had known the menu a little bit better, I would’ve had a better experience in terms of ordering, because I ordered the pumpkin soup, which was delicious, and then I ordered the pumpkin pasta, which tasted quite like the pumpkin soup. And if the server had known they were using a very similar sauce for the pasta, I wouldn’t have two things that tasted the same. They were both good, but it was a lot of pumpkin! I knew I was getting pumpkin pasta and pumpkin soup, but I didn’t think it would be almost the exact same sauce. But, of course, the kitchen is using economy of a scale, and would serve it with the same (or similar) sauce. It just would’ve been nice if the server told me that. Regardless, everything was very good. I’m so glad they have a restaurant like this at the inn, because it’s so convenient to just bop downstairs and have a lovely meal.

The view and location is where this bar/restaurant shines. Also the staff were very friendly. The gluten free meat lovers pizza was great (I have celiac and didn't feel sick from it), but my non-gluten free travel buddies got the schnitzel and we're not impressed.
