| - I've been to Killington's three times. First time I went I thought I've found a new spot, but it hasn't quite worked out that way. There's a lot that I really like about it, and sometimes it's been great but not consistently so for me. So if it's just me I might eat there, but I'm not confident enough of the whole experience to bring someone else.
Food
Bacon Encrusted Meatloaf was seriously good comfort food, the garlic mashed potatoes were the perfect side. Really nicely put together. Gastro Pub burger was big and tasty - there was plenty of it and I enjoyed it. The Cuban sandwich just did not do it for me, more like a ham sandwich and definitely not Cuban bread. How can you have a Cuban sandwich without the bread? The Menu is impressive - maybe it's just challenging to consistently deliver on such a wide array of Wow items. They apparently have quite a beer selection- this may be wonderful if that's your thing but it's not mine.
Service
Usually pretty quick and friendly but it depends. The problem is I'm not exactly sure what it depends on. Maybe the attitude is more like, make yourself at home. Which is good, except I can't just go to the fridge, I need the waitstaff to bring it to me.
Environment
Always very clean which is a big plus. The seating, decor, music are pretty straightforward, the environment doesn't seem to have received the extra special attention that the menu has.
Value
When it works, the value is great! But when it doesn't it feels really overpriced.
Bottom Line
Maybe I just don't understand Killingtons. Maybe I'm looking at is as a restaurant, and it's actually more of a pub. So if you're looking for a pub that has better than average food, this may be a great place for you. That's not what I'm looking for.
