“This garden center is so hip with lots of places to sit and music. Very tasteful flower and landscaping arrangements. A great place to find a gift for a gardener. Selection of tools, decor, and books that all looked really nice. Enjoyed my expresso. They also have plants!”

“The Dorset Inn is a great jewel! Every time we dine there, it’s consistently wonderful. The staff makes all extra too and they are all very professional and delightful know their food, cocktails, wines and small gift shop products. Kudos to the chef and management!I adore their locally made maple syrup candles in our kitchen that continually remind us of the Inn!”

“A very nice, welcoming restaurant. Barrows has a family friendly, and a warm atmosphere. The food is excellent and the drinks were even better! Highly recommend.”

“We had the best celebration of my mother’s birthday at this restaurant. The food and service were impeccable. The menu was so varied and had something for everyone, I definitely want to come back and try other things on their menu! Tammy was our waitress and she was fabulous, she made my mom feel so special and even included a surprise dessert. Thank you to Tammy, the rest of the staff and chefs! Highly recommend this restaurant to others.”

“We worked with the Dorset Bakery on our wedding dessert selection. Dorset Bakery was a huge help to us in selecting the right number and variety of dessert for our wedding. The desserts were delicious and a huge hit for our guests. We loved all the fall flavors we selected from pumpkin cheesecake to apple pie! They were so beautiful as well and looked great on our dessert table.”

“Overall, this isn’t a bad substitute for a Chipotle kind of restaurant in the area. I got a burrito bowl and while it was a bit pricey, the food was good and the staff were super friendly. I also appreciated the multitude of drink options.”

“Great food, came out with minimal wait time. Taste was awesome! I went to order a large fries. I'm glad she explained a large is a full tray of fries. A small is more than enough. The background music was a bit high for normal conversation is my only complaint.”

“Everything was great as usual, especially the ambiance and the service. Cocktails are also creative and well prepared. Our only complaint was that the coffee AND espresso (especially) were on the weak side and not piping hot.”

“Nice little spot near center of town. Didn't try the pastries but they all looked wonderful. We had a sandwich which was rather delicious. It escapes me which one it was right now as I am writing my review a week later, so my apologies. Along with the sandwich we had some limeade, also delicious.”

“Formerly the Mark Skinner Library for 100 years, the building has been creatively reborn(a few years ago) as an upscale art-filled restaurant. Buckminster Fuller designed the addition in the 1960s! Definitely make a reservation as early as you can. A number of side dishes are vegan, and we ordered the ratatouille with bread & greens and the tower of mofungo. Owners have lived in San Juan and impart the tastes and styles of this city into their cooking, a delight. We took food home, very large portions. I wondered if I would have to dress up, but styles are casual in New England, even at fancier places in cold weather, it seems. Really nice wines by the glass and bottle. Friendly service from Keller. The owners invited us to look in the kitchen which used to be book stacks. They still have the card catalog.”

“Quintessential VT dining at its finest... Would love to enjoy the Inn when the opportunity strikes, but the restaurant experience was an amazing first impression”

“This place makes me want to wake up early for breakfast. The service was great, the atmosphere was cute, and the food made me so happy. The omelette with potatoes was crispy and juicy. The buttered sourdough bread was so savory and then adding their raspberry jam changed the flavor profile into sweet crunch that made me want to order more toast. The French toast was probably the best I’ve ever had and the warm maple syrup which was a new experience was probably the best way to have maple syrup.”

“Such a treat. Authentic feeling Italian in a small mountain town. Excellent cocktails, wine list favors northern Italian wines, and the pasta is all handmade. Really enjoyed my evening here and highly recommend.”

“This is an amazing Turkish restaurant. They have really great authentic small and large plates. Good wine and beer. They also have a huge store of furniture and home goods from around the world. A very interesting place.”

“Fantastic selection, good prices for all varieties of fish and some shellfish. Wish there were more oyster varieties but we're in Vermont, not the cape so I guess I'm just spoiled.”

“Read the reviews and this is one place which was highly recommended by various people. Had to check it out and so we went. Service was first rate. Our waitress was great and attentive. We started with complimentary cranberry fritters with butter. Then a beautiful garden salad with balsamic. With the salad came Italian bread. We had the best lobster Mac and cheese as appetizer. Absolutely fabulous. Main course was pork Schnitzel and my wife ordered baked Scrod. Both great choices. We were both stuffed and had to skip dessert. Overall a very pleasant experience. Great food and amazing service. A must visit when you’re in the area.Parking: Ample space.Kid-friendliness: Not really. Tight space inside”

“Wonderful food and owners! Try this place! I've eaten there several times and love it. As far as I know they are still set up in the Orvis parking lot. (The main store, not the outlet.)”

“WOW! Absolutely delicious Burmese cuisine! Literally the best I’ve had, and I’ve only had it at BurmaLove in SF. I got the chicken Nan Gyi Thok, spicy and SO GOOD! Such a cute and quaint little restaurant in Manchester, VT! Definitely drop by if you’re in the area!”

“I went here for dinner one night not really knowing what to expect and thought maybe I’d have trouble being seated because it was like an hour before closing and it was packed. However, I was seated very promptly and had a very helpful and friendly server.The food was okay, and in my opinion isn’t going to knock anyone’s socks off. I had green beans and rice with my steak and neither were very flavorful at all, and the steak was a bit chewy though it was cooked correctly. I either got a bad cut or maybe it’s the quality of the meat they get - not sure. I also received plain white bread which was fine. The salad and beer were good.Overall, the place was decent and I’d definitely come back to see what else they have to offer if I’m in the area.”

“I literally drive hours out of my way to get to Mother Myrick's! Their Buttercrunch is the best--it's the most authentic I've had in the U.S. It tastes like the best of Austria! Everything is outstanding!”

“Had a great time service was great staff was polite and went above and beyond. Don't forget the food was great. I will go back if I'm ever in that state again. We even bought tshirts there we liked it so much.Vegetarian options: Staff will work with you to make something epic for you”

“Diamond pool table in great condition... Need I say more? Home vibes with fire place, and puppies running around Nice ambience with dive bar prices. Only reason it's not a 5 star, is cuz they charge $2 for ice cubes...”

“Excellent well prepared food and reasonable prices. Exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff. Another plus, the restaurant does not charge junk credit card fees. Will plan on returning.”

“Delicious, delightful, and around wonderful breakfast experience. Everything on the menu is delicious, there's outdoor seating or you can pop in and out eat your sandwiches on the go. There's also a confectionary store right across with glorious stuff worth checking out!”

“Super accommodating, party of 12 phone in same day. You can tell this is the locals place. Food was surprisingly good. Mac n Cheese bites were gone in seconds. Chowder exceeded my expectations and was very large! Brownie Sunday was a tad dry and wasn't "sizzling" the time it got to table. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers and prime rib. Stacey, are server, did a fantastic job!”

“Wish I could praise Chris and his team higher than 5-stars. I’d like to give this restaurant 10! Food is ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL.Had a couple french-martini’s at the bar - bangin’!Then a kick-a$$ cheeseburger and side salad. Really, no joke- out of this world fresh flavor and passion went into every recipe.Highly recommend those stuffed italian meatballs if you come at the right time and find them on menuThanks Barn Team- wonderful experience. 100% will be back”

“I’ve been to a few other breakfast places in the area but I think Little Rooster Cafe’ is my current favorite. The food was great, the prices weren’t bad, and they got me in and out efficiently. My only complaint was they sat me in a weird spot at the counter where I had figurines and other things in my way but other than that I had a great experience.”

“It is a family tradition to visit the Marsh Tavern Veranda to celebrate my wife's birthday. This year it was equally enjoyable as past times. Sitting on the veranda in the summer with a view of the Vermont sky is always special. Our lunch selections were quite good. Service is fast and friendly.”

“Comfortable stay..very romantic spot..lots to do..shopping hiking pool hot tub steam...dinner...pillows and bed very comfortable..liked the large mirrors ..very walkable to restaurants and shopping..also bikes available”

“The food was amazing! This seems to be a family owned restaurant, which is great but there are only about two waiters. We were first seated at a booth but the seats were ripped and unusually squishy, so we moved to a high top. Which was much better. The Shirley temple was yummy and so were the steamed muscles and burger. The food took a long time to come, but it was definitely worth the wait! Since there were only two or really one waiter you didn’t get checked on much but it was fine. The real only flaw is the low amount of waiters and the long wait for the food. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant especially for families! And my family and I would probably come again.”
