Taso On Center - Rutland

Good environment, great service and fresh food with large portions. Very satisfying!

Have not been in a while. The menu had been updated, and there are new additions as well as some carry over from the last time we were in. The server was very friendly and welcoming. The chicken picatta was excellent. The only drawback was the menu said Angel hair pasta and what was served was spaghetti. Lots of artichoke hearts and capers gave the dish great flavor and was much more than I could finish. My partner had the fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked. Light and flakey. This dish again was more than could be finished. The price was reasonable. The live music was a nice treat as well.

Waited several minutes at the door to be greeted and once someone finally came up to us they offered a high top next to the bar but never brought any menus. We thought moving to the bar might speed up the process and also they had some larger families there so I assumed the only two servers they staffed were busy. After sitting at the bar for several minutes we finally were addressed and given menus. When ordering a drink from the bartender I presented my ID which I was told could not be excepted due to the “Not For Real ID” labeling, but my partner was able to be served while having the same license. The staff must not be educated with the new IDs that had come out and was unaware that it was completely valid. They also did not scan the ID. Safe to say this place is not traveler friendly. Disappointing because I thought this was a nice area and they seemed to have decent food. I come to Vermont very often and have never had a problem like this. Do better.

They were very nice to take us in at the end of a ski day with no reservation. The food was okay. A number of options were out. Very surprised by the disparity in the food served vs. online photos. Definitely felt like a different restaurant/different menu than what they show online. Perhaps there’s been a change in management? Fine food at the end of a long day but won’t come back.

I had the fish tacos, they were messy but so good!! Our server was great!!
