Trail 87 — Restaurant in Dover

Trail 87 is the exact opposite of the establishment it replaced (Dover Joe's), sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. Dover Joe's was basically a pizza place also offering bar and restaurant service. It was dark and drab, but the food was cheap, solid and plentiful. Trail 87 is a pricey gastropub, bright and contemporary down to it's superb reclaimed wood tables. Offered is a large beer and cocktails menu, and a small food menu. As small as the menu is, the portions are even smaller. Sandwiches are thin and salads are a few forkfulls. Nothing (ironically other than the kids menu) comes with a side. This is the only time I can remember buying a burger (props for offering gluten free buns) in a restaurant ($15) accompanied by only a pickle slice. There are a few different sides, but you're expected to order them like creamed spinach to go with your $85 filet at Sparks. It is not Sparks. I know it's difficult for any business to survive in this valley, but they do need to find that right balance between quality and value. I def plan on returning, reassessing, and hopefully upping the stars at a later date. In the meantime, if your priority is high quality food and drink in a good atmosphere regardless of value, I certainly recommend checking it out...

Great newer place in the Mt Snow area. Menu is small but we ordered several things between 4 people and all were excellent. Wings were tasty, we tried their version of a buffalo which was light on heat but big on flavor. They had an Asian flavor in addition to buffalo. I had a beef sandwich which came with a side of au jus to dip it in. Extremely flavorful and fresh. The table split an order of fries that were seasoned very well, just be aware that they are very thin and many of them are crunchy because of this. We also split an order of house made chips as a side which were very good as well. Honestly we could have done one or the other for 4 people, they are very large baskets! Other things I didn't try but we're ordered at the table and I was told they were very good as well were the soup (I believe it was butternut squash), a burger, and a chicken salad. Again everything looked fresh and came with great reviews from the people that are it. Service was excellent, we sat outside at one of the tables on the side. Definitely give this place a try if you are...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT ATTENDING THIS RESTAURANT!! We arrived at the restaurant around 6 o’clock and we’re told we’d be seated in 20 minutes. after about an hour of waiting we finally got a table. once at the table we ordered immediately and all drank water. the only time we saw our waitress was to take our order and drop off the food and then the check. she did not refill our drinks once. we had to leave the table and ask other employees just so we could get some water. and then had to ask the bartender for the check because she still didn’t come back. she was nowhere to be found in the restaurant and did not serve any other tables. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! I would understand if she was busy with other tables but she was not helping anyone else. Being inside the restaurant is a terrible energy and everyone is constantly complaing about service around you. the food was decent but very pricey for the...
