KITCHEN & BATH Attention To Details

For stunning and innovative designs , mindful of your vision , aesthetics and lifestyle .
Night & Day at The Crooked Ram
opened in the Fall of 2021 . This special , pet-friendly space boasts an open-air kitchen , its own bar , fire pits , and a lovely roof that makes patrons feel transported to another place . It ’ s only open May through October , so make your plans now to get a table . You can enjoy wood-fired pizzas , which are only offered in The Yard , along with raw bar and small plates that highlight late spring , summer , and early fall ingredients in a super cool atmosphere . The Dining Room closes during this period in the evenings to focus on outdoor dining in the Yard .

We spend so much time together ,” shares Peter . “ It ’ s a lot of hard work , but when we get into the zone and things are working well , we enjoy what we ’ re doing . I think it translates well to the guests ’ experiences . We all support each other .”
“ The core staff has been the core for almost 4 years ,” adds General Manager and native Vermonter Emily Shore . “ We know our stuff . We like to make people feel they can come here , have a new experience , and feel good about it . Customers notice it , too , we get feedback about it .”
Pastry Chef Alli Ford , who went to culinary school with Chef Tiara at Johnson and Wales , concurs : “ I love the atmosphere at the Crooked Ram . Everyone works together and plays off each other to create beautiful dishes .”
