22 Best American Restaurants near Dorset

“We have just returned from a family gathering, with a large group of us staying at the Dorset Inn. We could not have been made more welcome by the staff! Each room is so unique and so very comfortable. Your morning breakfast options were just delicious. We loved sitting around the fireplace sharing laughs or playing games, and again, the staff were so helpful and friendly, checking to make sure we had what we needed. On our final night our group of 20 had the most amazing dinner - EVERYONE loved their choices for dinner and dessert. Thank you, Dorset Inn, for making our time there so very special!“

“We read about curATE on some posts about Manchester, what to do and where to eat, and we were not disappointed! Hats off to Bailey who was our server and did an amazing job, even tho he was one of only 2 servers and was quite busy. We had the soup of the day (corn chowder). The fall flatbread with caramelized onions, squash, and red wine reduction, and the fish and chips. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The flatbread was quite a hearty portion, even tho it is technically an appetizer. After dinner we were able to see the “plen Aire “ paintings on display in the gallery. We will come back if ever in Manchester again“

“My wife and I visited Manchester today and we had a wonderful lunch at Zoey’s! My wife had a turkey dinner and I had the double hex burger with caramelized onions. Little that I realize it was a top five burger in all of Vermont! It definitely lived up to that billing. We will certainly be back again!“

“My husband and I experienced nippers today and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food as we are dining at an odd time in the afternoon. The owner was our waitress, and she made sure my cheese sandwich had extra tomatoes and bacon on it, which I had not asked for, but she Upgraded it with no charge.. Hubby had a chicken quesadilla, which was different from his usual and he was a little hesitant to try it but essentially enjoyed it after the first few bites. It had black beans on it and he normally doesn’t enjoy that kind of thing. The restaurant is cozy and inviting. I anticipated a menu of grandma‘s chicken pie.-beef stew with mashed potatoes-or macaroni and cheese with hotdog. However, we were satisfied with our choices although we did not go for breakfast food we did enjoy what we had.“

“Fresh, locally sourced and largely Organic fare, with a WONDERFUL selection of local Craft Brews (I recommend the Switchback, a slightly hopsy Amber Ale), all fairly priced.“

“Our local company had our annual gathering at Mulligans recently, and the food was great! We got a few appetizers (the nachos filled 4 of us - not the really big, just the regular size), some chicken wings, 2 steaks, and 2 burgers. The food came out hot, and it was so good! Our waitress was great! She was extremely busy due to the holiday weekend, but made sure that all of her customers were happy. Thanks again for the great food and service!“

“Great Service and food. Had the Crispy Brussels and 12oz NY Strip steak, both were so good the steak was butter soft and cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend.“

“Went here for the first time with the young lady I care for. First off, we were we easily able to navigate with a wheelchair which is not always the case! The ice cream is homemade and delicious, can’t wait to try the food. Clean, well run, and everyone there was super nice and helpful.“

“We dined in the Chop House of the Marsh Tavern in the Equinox Hotel & Spa. This property is iconic in Manchester VT near Hildene Plantation, the historic home of Mary Todd Lincoln after the assignation of Abraham Lincoln. The server in charge of the Chop House is Ms. Maxine, a long time team member at this popular restaurant. The service was the BEST and the food delicious. I started with the crab cake, then had the sea bass both of which were terrific. Others at the table had the wedge salad with local blue cheese, a great pork chop, onion soup, and a delish burger. All amazing! Love and highly recommend this spot!“

“I started off with the lobster bisque. It was thinner than most biscuits that I've had but the flavor was excellent there was a fair amount of lobster meat probably a look to be two claws and a little bit of knuckle meat added into which you usually don't see in a bisque. Flavor was definitely spot on. Richard had the salad which he enjoyed very much is very fresh, nice dressing. For the means he had the sable fish which is the same thing as black cod. I have the filet mignon which is excellent it was grilled perfectly came in a nice Bordelaise sauce. Overall a very nice meal.“
