“Beautiful Mid-century modern space serving excellent European & Caribbean inspired food“

“We ate outside on a spectacular summer early evening. There was light jazz playing and the patio was adorned with bright flowers. The staff are attentive. The cocktail and dinners were bright, flavorful and we ate every bite! We would certainly go back when we are in the area! Thank you!“

“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!“

“Love their food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, food, and most of all, outstanding staff! Jacob was the best!“

“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!“

“The Chophouse at Equinox Resort in Manchester Center, Vermont, provided a truly unforgettable birthday dinner. My significant other and I were excited to try their new menu and began with the tuna and wagyu on a hot salt block—an incredible combination of flavors and presentation.

What made the night even more special was how much our teens enjoyed the experience. As a family that typically cooks at home, dining out is a rare treat for us, and this meal exceeded all expectations. On the way home, they mentioned it was one of the best dining experiences they’ve ever had, and I couldn’t agree more. From the impeccable food to the warm atmosphere, it was a night to remember.“

“Wonderful historical place, unique atmosphere, very good food, great service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
