Reviews Summary
The Vic Tavern offers a charming and magical dining experience, praised for its cozy atmosphere and delicious, elevated dishes, especially the pot pie and scallop cakes. While many highlight the exceptional food and welcoming service, some have encountered issues with service delays and perceived lack of communication. The intimate setting means a more leisurely pace, which is worth it for the quality of the cuisine.
"Wonderful meal and kind service! My husband and I were visiting Woodstock for our anniversary and we were thrilled to see the Vic Tavern open for dinner on a Tuesday.
I started with the VT Lemon Drop - I wasn’t sure how maple and lemon would mix - but it was amazing!
We had the potato pancakes for an app - so good! For entrees my husband had the filet which was cooked perfectly. I had the butter chicken pot pie and that was delicious. The flaky crust - oh my!
We couldn’t resist dessert and split the maple pecan pie. We wished that we ordered two! (No need to split as you WILL want your own) Best pecan pie ever!
Highly recommend! Thanks for a great evening!"

"Here is an odd review - we made reservations based on a menu we found online, however, it was not the right menu. As such, we decided not to stay after we saw the actual menu. The menu had excellent offering including several for vegetarians, unfortunately they just happened to include ingredients my spouse can’t have.
We felt terrible leaving especially because everyone was so friendly and kind. The restaurant interior is magical. If you made a wish for the ideal winter holiday setting, you would land here!
If the food is anywhere near as nice as the setting and people, this restaurant should be a win!"

"What a pleasant surprise! Four of us were staying nearby on a Monday night and dinner options were limited. The Vic was so wonderful! Had we known how good it would be we would have planned to go. Thankfully, they had room for us at the last minute. Everything was delicious and the service was very good. House flatbread appetizer was out of this world. Salmon cakes were excellent as were the tuna and the risotto. The homemade key lime pie was the perfect conclusion to our delightful experience at Vic. We will be back next year, for sure!"
