“Stopped by for Lunch today. Friendly staff and the food is always great.”

“I was visiting the area and looked up GF foods. As I was leaving for my long trek home, I stopped at the bakery first and bought a bunch of items (on recommendation of another patron in the bakery). Absolutely every item I bought was amazing! My family got to try it all and agreed that everything tasted just like non-GF foods! (they don't usually like MY stuff). I now think I need to make another several hour drive just to stock my freezer!”

“Really glad I found this place as a result of booking live music! (Jesse Taylor specifically). Very bright, comfortable and CLEAN space. Excellent food and drink choices and exceptional service from staff eaach time I've gone. Highly recommend!”

“Delicious ice cream and friendly atmosphere! Always a good time here! Thank you!”

“Matt and I have been to Hoagies in Essex a few times as of late and have had the best experience. The servers are amazing, the quality of food is consistent and tasty and we always feel welcome. If you’re wanting quick, yummy eats look no further. Treat yourself to the house Italian dressing. It’s been my favorite since I was a little kid in the 90’s!”

“Great service!! Food is fantastic. Love that we’ve found a place that makes Vietnamese food like family does! So delicious ♥️”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a gift certificate and decided to check out Pearl Street Pub for a long-overdue date night—and we’re so glad we did! The atmosphere was fun and laid-back, the bar food was on point, and the drinks were exactly what we needed after not going out in over a year. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. It was definitely worth the babysitter fees! We’ll absolutely be back.”

“Simply the best breakfast sandwiches, cookies and coffee around!”

“My wife and I stumbled along going to different pubs in Chittenden county VT. and found an absolute GEM of a place in Essex Jct., VT. That joint is known as Park Place , Best wings ever, Best Chili ever and other amazing food , all at reasonable prices. An amazing staff, Chelsea, Mike, Gage, Heather ,Alyssa ,Jason . Travis It reminds me and my wife of the show “Cheers” All the patrons are extremely friendly. To us, it’s like part of our family.. If you want an absolutely great “eating out “experience, and somewhere you can be yourself, come to Park Place, Again, we’ve tried many over joints but this place, by far , is the best place ever…. Nan & Dave. PS tellthe staff that we sent ya.”

“My family has been coming here for years. Both my girls worked here and we have always appreciated the level of consistency that Mimmo's food offers. Always fresh, hot and delicious entrees and salads. Most recently I have been sitting at the bar while I wait for my take out order and have had the lovely privilege of being waited on by Simone's partner. She is a fireball with the best customer service skills I have encountered in Vermont or anywhere! Everything she does is to make the customer feel attended to and she does it with the most energetic and positive effort! Mimmo's never disappoints!”

“Hop Sing, hop, sing, I hop sing with joy when I order the spring rolls. Freaking unbelievable, especially if you’re trying to compare it to other Chinese food spots. I forget the young lady at the character, always sweet always helpful, she told me that they’re better because they make them fresh twice a week. I’m telling you, you can taste the difference! Lightly seasoned with whatever they do with it, the vegetables are always crisp fresh and the duck sauce, they also make in store, and it is just different. Good prices, especially when you’re getting handmade homemade food!”

“Super-fun experience at the culinary experience at the Essex Resort in Essex, VT. Our instructor, Denise, led us through the recipes and techniques to create a wonderful Vermont dinner that included roasted root vegetables, braised chicken (in dark beer and demi-glacé) with shallots and a variety of mushrooms, and a lovely kale salad. We were given the opportunity to decorate autumn themed sugar cookies as well as dip tiny apples into a luscious caramel coating. A small group of 9 students made the experience very intimate. Our meal was served with wine and fresh bread accompanied by an herbed compound butter. Denise was a perfect instructor and I would recommend the experience to anyone who loves to cook.”

“We just had a great visit here personally! We had some slices in and then ordered a white pie to go. Place was busy with take out and as resident NYC gal I can see why. Will be back every Sat! Had my son with autism order for us to practice and the staff member working register was so cool about it. We appreciate that giys!”

“Great service. Drinks always full.”

“We were a party of 6. High table near the bar. A Saturday night. We had a great time and were never rushed.
Our food was good and quick. Our drinks were the same.
I had fish tacos, which were great! 3 came in the order. I ordered onion rings with them because I was expecting less than I got. I didn't need the onion rings.
We got there @ 5:30 and stayed for 3 hours. Again, I never felt rushed to exit the joint. Our server even said we could spend the night if we wanted. Rare for a busy place on a Saturday night.
Parking was limited behind the building. But, as I typed, we got there early, so no trouble finding parking.
I would go back.”

“We had dinner at onion city for my birthday this past October (like 4 days ago). We were greeted quickly and seated. We ordered a whiskey sours and wine while we scanned the menu. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder as an appetizer, which was buttery and delightful. Dinner was a lobster roll and fish and chips. Lobster was tender and not overly dressed. Fish was lightly breaded and not over done. Staff were great, delightful and attentive. Environment is clean and cozy. Overall, had a great time. Highly recommended. We look forward to out next visit for the fried chicken sandwich. It’s got quite the reputation…. A great one. Check out Onion City. Well worth it.”

“WOW!! All the food was absolutely amazing. I’m dairy free, my husband is not. Because of this, we normally don’t share dishes. Tonight we got only vegan/dairy free dishes and we were both blown away. The hummus, sweet potato, and seared cabbage were highlights. Will definitely be back. Can’t recommend enough. Make a reservation”

“What a fantastic experience. The staff were fabulous and the food was delicious. Be sure to get their Parker House rolls. The wine menu was extensive and bar staff were helpful with selections. If you are staying at Hotel Vermont, it is right next door. Highly recommend for dinner and drinks.”

“Disappointed. The food was mediocre and a little pricey. Husband and son had the steak burger which was small and not very well seasoned. Wait staff was very nice. Ambiance is pleasant.”

“Every bite was amazing taste experience! We are do happy to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!”

“We made reservations for our large group ahead of time and they were very accommodating. The service was fantastic, keeping our drinks full and making recommendations from the menu. The food was all delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meal. About half of our group hadn’t had Indian food before but they all left as fans! The waiter was able to easily guide the vegan in our group to a variety options for him. We all enjoyed tea and a sweet at the end. We are so glad to have found this restaurant and will definitely be back!”

“Delicious food in a cozy setting. Definitely recommend it. 🙏”

“By far the best creemee’s we’ve had this year. We’ve gone too many times to count because they’re that good! The butterscotch is next level and would maybe highly recommend that everyone give it a try. My only suggestion would be to pass out napkins when giving customers their cones. It feels as though there is a reluctance to hand them out when ice cream can be a messy but necessary evil!”

“This place is a Gem! the atmosphere is amazing, the food is so good and the people are so friendly. we loved Katlyn! A+, 5 Stars!”

“Unbelievably fantastic. Nice room and lighting. Staff were all so friendly, thoughtful and good. Food was amazing. Especially the harissa wings, kale salad and hummus. Better than can even imagine. Great use of spices and inventive dishes. I hope to get back to Burlington just to go back. You must go.”

“News Years Eve reservation! super friendly staff, beautiful space and amazing food!! can't wait to try everything on the menu. Seated promptly even for a holiday, loved the industrial look of everything, beautiful view and even though it was super busy everything came out quickly and the tuna poke!!... amazing, highly recommend!!!!”

“Service was perfect amount of friendly/professional. The building updates, soft lighting, and openness of the restaurant was great. The food - ridiculous. I saw cabbage on the menu in two spots, I knew I had to try one. I got the side with garlic sauce - it was transformed into something else entirely. It should be illegal what happens to cabbage here! Over all - a wonderful and refreshingly surprising adventure with taste, texture and flavor combos. I will be back!”

“Stopped by Sweet Simone’s a few weeks back while in town for a golf trip and happened to catch their Aperitivo event (the oysters were on point). The atmosphere was amazing, the people were welcoming, and the food was spot on. We made a point to swing back the next morning to try breakfast and pastries, and they were just as impressive. Fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious. They actually had a bagel flavor of bacon/egg/chese which was awesome. Can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll be glad you did.”

“The pizza was absolutely delicious, especially the Mais! And the dough was to die for. We also got the beet and avocado salad, which was fresh and tasty. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!”

“Another great meal. Try the secret menu item, Maria Burger! You can’t go wrong !”
