Waterbury/Stowe VT - Private Room

[DrewS]

My fiancee and I are planning a dinner next month when our two families will be getting together for the first time. Ideally, we'd like to find someplace with a private room that we can reserve. The place needs to be vegetarian friendly since about half the people don't eat meat (or fish.) We're looking for someplace nice, but not too expensive.

Any suggestions in the Waterbury/Stowe area?

Thanks!

We don't absolutely need a private room. That was just a "nice to have" feature. Anyplace not too loud or cramped would be great.

Or is it the "vegetarian friendly" requirement that is the tough part?

Any opinions on the Mist Grill?

I'd love to help but, unfortunately, I'm a bit further South than that.

Hope someone comes around. Have you tried a search of these forums?

I did try searching. I saw a few recommendations for the Mist Grill in general, but no details. From their menu online it looks like they might have suitable veg options.

I called them and they don't have a private room (but can do one if somebody in the party is handicapped - not sure how that works.) They can do a table of 14, which would work for us. It would be great to hear people's experiences before we decide. Maybe I'll start another thread specifically about the Mist Grill.

OOPS...

Should have put it here...

We've used the Mist Grill for larger gatherings and it worked but a little noisy (for the other diners). Another possibility is Kitchen Table Bistro in Richmond (just off the interstate exit). There is a private room upstairs that we used several times (but it was with the previous owners). The food there is much better. Michaels on the Hill in Waterbury, excellent food and many small eating areas so a private area may be possible.

Michaels on the Hill sounds like a possibility, but looks like it might be a bit pricier. They don't actually list prices on their website, so I may just be making a false assumption. Also, Mist Grill may have more vegetarian offerings so we're leaning towards that.
