New American Restaurants near Essex, VT

“We went with someone that has been several times before. Very busy place, but I guess that's typical for this place for brunch. They have a fairly wide variety of breakfast/brunch item on the menu as well as some unusual ones (fried parsnip chips?). The food was excellent. The table service was as quick and as efficient as it could be in spite of how busy they were. Definitely worth returning to...“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and staff! Makes one feel right at home!“

“My Fiancé and I had our first experience at Hen of the Wood in Burlington, what an incredible time we had! We just got engaged and had to celebrate. I decided to get the pork loin, and it was delicious! My fiancé loved his steak. It was perfection. Our waitress was amazing and so thoughtful. She made sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful. the atmosphere was casual yet somewhat formal and we had a blast! Can't forget about how scrumptious those rolls were too! Definitely recommend !!“

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

“The Kitchen Table is my favorite restaurant - they have fabulous local food sourced from local farms. The food is healthy and affordable and super high quality. If you have special diet requirements, the chef is always willing to accommodate your needs. The ambiance is friendly, warm, historic, and intimate. I highly recommend The Kitchen Table.“

“5-star roadside dinner experience. On our way from Middlebury to Burlington, we wanted a good breakfast. Dutch Mill Diner did not disappoint us. Terrific breakfast reasonably priced. My husband said that his corn beef hash was one of best, and my breakfast sandwich was tasty!“

“After a very long day of filming time for a special treat. The service, food, ambience and vibe was exactly what we were looking for and sure enough the Guild Tavern excelled in every area. Thank you to our server Charlotte who was amazing to the entire team here. Each dish carefully and well executed in presentation and taste. The energy level this team has is like watching a well-orchestrated master piece. Each team member knew the thoughts of the others, the smiles always on their faces soon as you walk in and while you are here to the delivery of drinks and food and closing out the evening. Always helping each other with no complaints nor competitive angles or agendas just pure team work. This is a place we would love to have in our upcoming documentary. Highly recommend the Guild Tavern. Thank you for a wonderful evening.“

“A-mazing. Some of the best flavors I've had in a long time. deelish“

“I love this local restaurant! Great burgers and chicken sandwiches. Fries are crispy and tasty. Drinks are always well made by the super friendly bartender. And they also do a great weekend brunch.“

“Extremely friendly staff and wonderful service ! Took care of us and our chubby Bulldog "Meatball". Will definitely be back. 🐾“

“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.“

“Old post is the best place and the bar tenders are great.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Bevo. I never once had to worry about a thing. Kathleen and her staff thought of everything. From our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Kathleen was so helpful and knowledgeable about the whole process and offered tons of ideas for things we hadn't even thought of. We were able to create our own menu (build your own tacos as well as a mac and cheese bar) and Kathleen offered excellent suggestions of things to go with it. You name it, and Bevo can do it. Leading up the the wedding, Kathleen was great about checking in and seeing if we needed help with anything. The day of the wedding was wonderful. The entire Bevo staff was kind, attentive and incredibly professional. The chefs out-did themselves, we are still getting compliments from our guests about the delicious food and the abundance of it. Throughout the evening, the staff would bring my wife and I water, reminding us to stay hydrated. They were all so sweet and everything went so smoothly. At the end of the evening, they provided us with two large bags full of food for us to take home, which was a real life saver the next few days with all our family in town. Between the delicious food, and the wonderful staff, we will be recommending Bevo to everyone we see. They are without a doubt the best catering company!“

“The food was delicious. The atmosphere invites you to stay and chat for hours. But don't because there are always people waiting for a table. Parking is free on Sundays and harder to find on weekdays and Saturdays. It's worth the frustration. The staff is fantastic too.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! From appetizer selection to entre. Every special occasion and family group eat outs here from now on.“

“Went to the 80s vs 90s show I came All the way from NY ! I love the setting and the show was phenomenal!!“

“Jed, the Mixologist is amazing. He has an incredible range of combinations and mixes that will suit your every mood and taste. A genius!“

“I travel 3 hours to visit. Best food!!! ❤❤❤“

“I’m giving them 5 stars, but be careful if you order Ruben’s Reuben. Because Ruben Reuben isn’t a real Reuben unless you ask for a Ruben’s Reuben specifically with corned beef. Otherwise, you just get a turkey sandwich. But just know that it will be the best turkey sandwich you ever consumed in your life. Seriously amazing, I loved it. But it wasn’t corned beef. It wasn’t a Reuben. You live and you learn. And I was lucky enough to learn such a valuable lesson here at Ruben James by ordering Ruben’s Reuben, which turned out not to be an actual Reuben because it was just a turkey sandwich. Great restaurant though.“

“First time ever coming here food was beyond amazing mussels in garlic wine sauce was spot on could have consumed the broth itself! Had the 12 oz NY strip, by far best steak in a long time, would rank my top 5! Atmosphere was great and staff was amazing! Executive chef came out to visit and see how we liked our dinner!“

“We had such fun ? The Entire Team of Well Polished Professionals created the perfect blend of personality gently mixed with an easy positive vibe, the Mexican cuisine out of this world and OUT of of this Universe are the speciality cocktails. Ya, it is a bit pricy but this is not Taco Bell. Go completely to the other side of the spectrum, add some Phish & Buddha & you got Big Spruce ❣️❤️‍?❣️ No, not done. This organization continues to evolve. Soon they will have many new and exciting offerings. They are feeling there way meticulously in order to offer you and me the best possible, highest quality experience. We were told the same owners we did not have the pleasure of meeting thus time, however, Bella one of their daughters is seriously an angel on earth ? Apparently, these folks own and run, hands on, the Restaurant across the street too!“

“this was an excellent experience!!! a little pricey at least for me but it was sooo worth it!!! food was absolutely excellent, service was excellent as well. and the atmosphere was 100% better than the over stimulating can’t hear yourself think downtown bars. on top of all that we weren’t worried about our vehicle getting stolen lol😉😉 thoroughly enjoyed 😁😁😁❤️“
