Our first night in Stowe, VT brought us to Harrison’s. It had that local feel where you immediately felt comfortable.
Especially over a beer.
Or a cup ‘a’ chowdah.
We tried the spinach and artichoke dip,which I really enjoyed. The swiss and mascarpone cheese combination was really great.
Our friend got the salmon, which he enjoyed.
I got the Butternut Squash Ravioli and added scallops to it. This was described as Vermont fresh butternut squash & pumpkin stuffed ravioli, cranberry, apple cider & port wine pan sauce, fresh sage, crispy pancetta, sauteed baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, shaved Fontina cheese.
This dish was… confused. I thought maybe it was my having added scallops to a dish where they probably didn’t belong, however, one of our friends had the same dish without the scallops and we agreed. The balance of sweet was just not right. It had a very strange flavor that just didn’t work. I couldn’t put my finger on it, and I really can’t describe it, but it was not an enjoyable dish.
And that was a shame. I really wanted to like this place.
But I didn’t.
Damn.
