curATE cafe

A Hidden Gem in Manchester. The food was awesome, the Gnocchi was a 10. All around a great dining experience. The Art show is always a plus. I really Love this spot. Rob Winhall VT.

What a hidden gem. Our first time there. A wonderful experience. We will return. Can't wait for the addition to be completed so we can sit outside in the summer. Lovely!

I had lunch at curATE on the recommendation of a friend. It was well worth it! I thought the menu choices were excellent and the server was very attentive to my every need! I would highly recommend this restaurant to others!

It was a lovely brunch. Everything was sp well done. My favorite was the mushroom soup..... it was indescribably delicious.

Enjoyed a nice lunch after touring the Arts Center. Would recommend the Cafe to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet lunch with friends.

Fantastic in every way. I almost don't want too many people to know! Great food and drinks, best server ever, stunning view, quiet for good conversation. Best fish and chips we ever had, pork shank with onion rings terrific. We'' be back.

Lovely time with friends...had our own special corner for the 5 of us. Heather, our server, very friendly, attentive and efficient. We enjoyed our wine first and were not rushed. Food was perfect for our chilly fall day here in Vermont.

Already out of menu items and we had a 5:45 reservation. Second or third time this has happened. That was disappointing.

The wait team is the best in VT Best corn chowder I ever had The art is top notch Hit this place

We had an excellent dining experience. Glad we made reservations, because it was really packed. For starters as we drive in we were able to catch the sculptures on the grounds. Our brunch began with their bread service which was paired with a delicious butter. For my meal I had the curATE burger and my girlfriend had the Salmon toast. Both of our meals were simply delicious, my burger was cooked at a perfect temperature served with bacon which made it even better. The salmon toast was delicious as well. For dessert we had the crepes with a blueberry sauce which was excellent. The service was really good, we will definitely visit again the next time we are in the area.

We were quite surprised at the quality of food and and service. We would definitively recommend CurATE!

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

Such a beautiful place to enjoy lunch with a friend in a most perfect VT setting! Loved it!

CurAte has been the mainstay in the Southern Vermont Art Center, a place to enjoy a light meal on a pleasant surrounding filled with art and outdoor sculptures. Food and drinks are innovative and delicious.

I took my sister to CurATE for lunch. She is a waitress herself for many many years so I thought she would really enjoy it. The restaurant is lovely and the food is wonderful but our waitress had a very poor attitude. I believe her name was Tanya. The second she came to the table I smiled and asked her name and she made a face and reluctantly told me her name. Tanya didn't come back for sometime. We had hope to order a drink then study the menu once our drink order was placed. She took so long (it wasn't that busy) that we ordered everything at once. After she walked away I mentioned to my sister that I think our waitress has an attitude for which she replied "I agree". Also, my mother was a waitress for many years and I was a waitress through school so my family is never disrespectful to anyone in the service industry. I will go back again because it is one of my favorite places for lunch but I will definitely request that Tanya not be our waitress. I understand that it is a difficult job and some customers can be very difficult (I also work in the service industry) but not every customer is. Unfortunately this was my sisters first time there (not mine) and she was impressed with the restaurant and the food but not our server. That is why I gave CurATE 4 stars and not 5.
