Haymaker Bun Company & The Arcadian

I grew up in Middlebury and it has been so nice to see this small town evolve over the years. The Arcadian is a bonus

My husband and I sat in the cool seats upstairs. The server was sweet and seemed to like her job. All of the food and buns were very good. If you're looking for food (and drinks) out of the ordinary, this is a good place to be

Ill give them the benefit of doubt and say that their buns were really good. But if they dont have what you want out on display they wont make it. Maybe they usually have huge amounts of buns and that they are all really good. But i looked on their menu online for the haymaker bun co and they have a huge selection but looks like they only make a few types each day. If its on the menu you should be able to just make the food.

Discovered this place on a business trip. Amazing food and the staff (Shout out to Kate the hostess, you're a doll and so sweet) was so attentive and friendly. 100% recommended. If you find yourself in Middlebury this is a must stop.

Great ambience and italian food! Their selection of wine, cocktails and cuisine, including handmade pasta cleanses any palette. We look forward to our next visit as we were too stuffed to enjoy dessert!

We tried the Arcadian for diner for my mom's birthday. We specifically requested a table on the deck. We arrived on time and we're told that our table wasn't ready, but we could sit inside or wait at the bar. We decided to wait at the bar since it was hot and very noisy inside. The hostess was very nice, but seemed like she had a lot going on.

We waited at the bar for a long time. The bar tender ignored us for awhile then seemed disinterested in serving us. When our table was finally available, she seemed to be hinting that we should pay for our drinks at the bar rather than just adding it to the food bill at the end. Not sure why that would matter unless she was hoping to not share the tip.

I was going to go with 3 stars for this review based on what I've mentioned above, but the quality of the food and our waitress gave it a boost to 4 stars. The waitress was extremely nice and accommodating. She joked around with us some too and made us laugh. The food was very very good. They do have options other than pasta, but the pasta dishes definitely stole the show. Fresh and full of flavor.

I will definitely try the Arcadian again, but I'll opt to go earlier in the day on a slower night when they can actually handle the volume.
