Great experience, the owner Mandy made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. She was taking photos of the kids. Which by the way was the greatest part, they made our kids feel welcome and we never felt judged for being the table with three young children. Food was phenomenal, desserts were delicious… Filet was

The Blue Paddle makes you feel like family as soon as you walk up. Staff are incredibly kind and caring. The restaurant is a literal house and you sit in different rooms which is a unique experience. Food was tasty but portions were smaller than expected for the price tag. Crab cakes are amazing! Service was slower than I like but was again kind and caring. Will definitely go back.

What a unique dinning experience! Eating in an old home in different rooms of the house. There’s a beautiful outdoor space with comfy and fun seating. There was a musician playing outside and it was wonderful.

We felt like we were in a movie featuring food! The dishes were the star of the show! Delightful to the senses! And the staff is top notch! Be sure to make reservations in advance to secure a spot!

Wonderful food served in a farmhouse. The chef really creates one of the best menus I’ve ever seen. My coffee encrusted pork loin with goat cheese mashed potatoes was excellent. This is one bistro you need to save room for dessert! Excellent.

We love Blue Paddle Bistro! We’ve been several times over the years and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and the service is very good. The restaurant itself is charming; perfect for this spot on the island. Highly recommend!

Went here for dinner with my parents as part of our Vermont Vacation on august 26th 2023. We looked at local places near south hero as we were staying in Apple Island Resort which is nearby. What caught my eye was the butternut squash ravoli. We got there as it was a short drive, was immediately greeted at the host stand. The restaurant is basically a little quaint house, with an upstairs and a downstairs. we sat upstairs. Loved the fish and turtle decorations in the room where we sat. The host had a late party that reserved a table, and since they were late, we took their spot. I appreciated that we didn’t have to wait, and was served right away. They even said that they don’t like to turn customers away, which is a great thing in the food business! Our server was very nice and started all 3 of us with waters. I knew what i wanted, but sadly was disappointed that they were all out of the butternut squash ravoli. They also had 2 other things on their online menu that wasn’t on the menu in the restaurant. Maybe just some feedback is if you don’t have that menu item anymore, maybe they should update their online menu. Anyways, after a while i decided what i wanted, and ordered the shrimp scampi. My dad and mom got some chicken dish. Food was actually very good, and we all enjoyed it. It is a bit of a small portion place, so we also got dessert. We got the molton Chocolate cake with vanila ice cream, and the apple crisp with vanila ice cream. i didn’t taste the apple crisp, but the molton cake was very good! Our server also checked on us alot, and made sure we were happy, and provided drink refills as well. Paid with a credit card, duly note that they don’t take discover credit cards, but we were able to pay with another. Left a cash tip, and left with our bellies content. Not sure if we would be back to Vermont again, but this place is a must stop!

We arrived and Mandy greeting us by name. We were a little early so we waited in the front tables listening to nice music by a local musician. When we were escorted to our table our waitress was there immediately with water and menus. Our party ordered a variety of appetizers and main menu items. Everyone was happy with their choices and the food was delicious!! Unique selections like gorgonzola crusted filet, duck spring rolls, and muscles from PEI. Unique setting in a house modified to be a restaurant. Love it and we’ll definitely return!

We were eating upstairs in a 15′ x 15′ room with 14 other people. Several fellow diners were loud talkers. We moved tables once. The waitress screwed up my order but I didn’t send it back out of fear that we would have to delay our departure.
