Ordered a dirty martini with well vodka but was up charged $3. I thought well prices were built into the cost of the drink no? The bread took a hot minute to come out and we had a very hungry kid so it would have been nicer if they would have offered this sooner. Wedge salad was decent, nothing spectacular but needed a bit more dressing. We ended up taking all entrees to go so we didn’t try these till we got home. Everything was cooked to the correct temp but I was surprised the ribeye wasn’t thicker. It tasted fine but again, nothing spectacular-I could easily make a nicer steak with a grocery store ribeye. The venison was good but the vegetable ragu was just funky and gross, we tossed it. The Brussels sprouts were way too sweet and we ended up tossing them too. Also the chimichurri sauce caught me way off guard, it was essentially pureed and I was expecting a more traditional chimichurri which is typically finely chopped.
Service was fine and the ambiance is nice except the obnoxious group next to us that were dropping expletives and derogatory slurs.
I know cost of goods has gone up across the board but at that price point I expect everything to be darn near perfect and it was pretty mid.

I’ve been to EB Strongs a number of time and the food is always good. But I will say the reason I’m leaving a review tonight is the service was especially great. I just decided to to sit at the bar tonight and the bartenders Renee and James were great!

Made dinner reservation here a month ago for Thanksgiving. They just texted me that they’re not open on Thanksgiving and now all the other places I considered are booked. Thanks for leaving us out in the cold.

I got the steak tip salad. It was perfect. And the mud pie is now my favorite dessert of all time. I hope to find something similar near where I live.

Ribeye came out grey with no grill marks on it at all. Ordered medium rare. I put the butter side on it and it didn’t melt as the steak was just warm. Waitress was new but not sure how a chef could put out such a product. It looked boiled. It needed salt which I had to ask for. I didn’t say anything. I will never go back.

Phenomenal night of food and drinks! The owners are so incredibly kind. Would recommend if visiting with friends and family. The space is BEAUTIFUL! Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Hospitality 10/10
Dinner was amazing, we ordered shrimp cocktail and Mussels as an appetizer and both were extremely fresh and yummy. For dinner we both got Filet mignon cooked to perfection. Service was smooth and attentive. One of the best steak houses we have been to in a while.

This place is nice! How is there no flies in the restaurant? Many restaurants in this area have flies. Maybe someone catches flies in the restaurant? I like that there is no flies here.

Food and atmosphere were decent. Service not so much. While the server was attentive, she was incredibly rude at one point and lied about something the owner supposedly said about our group.

We chose E.B. Strong’s to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was the perfect spot for a special occasion dinner. Nestled right on Church Street, the restaurant offers an upscale, relaxed atmosphere that feels like an escape from the rougher edges of downtown just a few blocks away.
To start, we enjoyed a beautifully balanced maple old fashioned—a nod to Vermont’s local flavor and a great way to ease into the evening. For appetizers, the tartare was outstanding: tenderloin finely chopped and elevated by truffle salt, quail egg, and crispy fried wonton. The PEI mussels were another standout, served in a decadent chorizo cream sauce with sweet corn and leeks—perfect for soaking up with the grilled baguette.
For mains, we tried the Chef’s Surf & Turf, which combined a perfectly cooked petit filet with a succulent lobster tail, buttery mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach—all tied together with a rich Béarnaise sauce. The coffee-spiced, pan-seared venison (a nightly special) was both creative and expertly prepared, with deep, complex flavors that made it truly memorable.
We wrapped up with a cheesecake in a jar, topped with blueberries—simple, creamy, and satisfying.
While the service was a bit slow, it was still professional and courteous. Overall, this is one of the few places in the region that truly delivers a fine dining experience. Yes, it’s pricey—but for a meaningful night out, E.B. Strong’s is absolutely worth it.

High quality, relaxing and casual experience with crisp and clean appointments, held up by adept and engaging service, all around a kickass menu and kitchen. Eb's offers a comfortable-yet-classy balance of great food, people, and atmosphere. Quality commensurate with pricing.
