21 Best American Restaurants near Dorset

“Always love the old Dorset Inn. The food, service and ambiance, especially in the Tavern Room, are exceptional. We had the dinner rolls right out of the oven, followed by a cup of soup for me and hummus for my dinner partner. Then I had the sautéed calves liver and onions while my partner had butter-milk fried chicken. For dessert we shared a chocolate brownie sundae. All delicious!“

“Friends and family stayed along with us at the Dorset Inn after a birthday celebration at the owners other establishment, Pearl's Place and Pantry. The staff at the Dorset Inn was welcoming and very pleasant. We enjoyed the Inn's library choices and settled in with a good book and a digestif in front of a cozy fire to bring our evening to a quiet end. Although the Inn has an appealing old New England charm, I was pleasantly surprised that the sleeping and bathroom accommodations were modernized. The bed very comfortable.

We had many choices for the morning meal, which was delicious and beautifully presented. This was definitely a 5-star stay! I will soon plan another trip to the beautiful Dorset Inn when I can stay longer!

Rooms: Tastefully decorated, comfortable beds, modernized bathroom. We had restful stay.“

“A great experience either together or even alone, the staff in particular make you feel welcome special and comfortable.. we love the food choices and quality, the architectural space and decor, the connection to local art which you can enjoy before or after dining, and the wonderful outside space that connects seamlessly somehow to the tables outside or by window, making it one of the best places to eat locally!“

“We visited Up For Breakfast last weekend and were blown away. I’m a breakfast food lover and I can honestly say those were the best pancakes of my life. The Hungry Hiker is an excellent value for the amount of delicious food you get. Not one person in our family was able to clean their plate and I have kids/teenagers who normally clear their plate and everyone else’s. Service was great. Only “complaint” is it’s a smaller restaurant and it was packed- which is a testament to food too! Will definitely go back!“

“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.“

“The delicious smell of food drifting on the breeze caught my attention as I was walking by this restaurant. My nose knows, so I went in to look at the menu and decided on the "Potato Face Omelet." It was absolutely delicious! As others have mentioned, the portion sizes are on the smaller side but the place has a classy, upscale European vibe so this didn't surprise me - seems to be the kind of restaurant that's more focused on quality than quantity.Had a nice chat with the owner, who was friendly and accommodating. The chef was amiable, and an excellent cook.Although I took my meal to go (served in a fully-compostable box), it was pleasant inside the building and there is also a cute patio area in the front. Would definitely return.“

“Marsh Tavern was a very convenient choice while staying at The Equinox, particularly after a long drive to arrive there. Te restaurant, like the rest of the hotel is feeling tired and in need of refreshing. The food was okay - nothing memorable or outstanding - good or bad. Wait staff were great - friendly and efficient. We would recommend if staying at the hotel or nearby.“

“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.“

“Delicious New England Clam Chowder, Turkey Club Sandwich and Chicken Wings.“

“Went with friends to the Raven’s Den and when had a really great experience. The food was exceptional and the service very good. I had the surf and turf, my friend the seafood medley and the ladies the Venuschnitzel. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“
