Murdock's on the Green — Restaurant in Cavendish

Visited Murdock's about two weeks ago. We've ate diner there on two previous trips to Vermont. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was rather mediocre, and I realized after we left some things were missing from our entrees. I had the salmon sandwich and subbed 'house' made slaw for fries. The slaw was awful with all whitish cabbage and a few stray pieces of shredded carrot in a very runny dressing that did not taste housemade. The salmon was a slab on a roll with a piece of lettuce and an anemic tomato. The overall taste was bland, and it turns out the sandwich was supposed to also have onions and chipotle mayo. I would have topped the sandwich with the slaw, if it had tasted good, for some flavor. My husband had the fish and chips which he said it was bland. The cheddar mashed potatoes were good, but it turns out the vegetable of the day was missing from his entree. The kitchen can do better: make sure the food comes with all the accompaniments on the menu, make a better slaw, and find tasty substitutions to offer customers when tomatoes are...

As I ordered appetizers, she told me to hurry up because the chef wanted to close the kitchen as soon as possible. They ran out of one of the appetizers we wanted. Then when my husband ordered, she said they hadn’t had that for weeks! ( something that could have been communicated prior to us choosing our entrees). She continued to stare at him impatiently until he chose something. I wouldn’t recommend and we won’t be going back. It’s a shame because it’s a nice location. Maybe if they get a new waitress without a dismal attitude, things could change....

Disappointed. We made reservations for 5 pm so we could eat then walk to the park for the music there. They seated us on the porch at a table in the sun. It was rather warm and we asked if we could sit at the table in the shade, or elsewhere. They told us that table was reserved so we could not. They pulled down a shade, moved our table a few feet, but it did not block the sun at our table. We ate a good meal feeling quite warm, one of us sweating quite a bit. The "reserved table" remained empty for the entire time we were there. Very disappointing, given that the meal was over $118 for 4 people and we were...
