“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.“

“Stopped in for a Sunday lunch after going to the bird museum. Good spinach amlnd artichoke dip, along with the sticky icky chicken nachos. It was wonderful to taste some food with actual spice in it, but the winner was the chocolate maple porter they brew on location. I can't imagine anything they brew or serve being bad and I look foward to going back.

As a side note, the prices were high but that is the world we live in now, and I would much rather pay to eat here than similarly priced establishments l.“

“From the moment I stepped foot at Jules on the green I noticed how maintained the dining area was. The tables were spotless, and the floors were free of any debris, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were professional, and they were able to assist me with what I needed as soon as I walked in. Jules on the green not only offers delicious food but also prioritizes cleanliness, making it an amazing dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“The food and customer service is always good. One of our favorite places to go.“

“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.“

“Restraunt is in a beautiful historic building , amazing food with a menu that is always adding items. Employees that have been there for years and years getting better at there craft. I can’t think of a better place to eat in the area.“

“Simply the best sandwich place around. The bread is absolutely delicious and is what pushes their sandwiches to a 10/10 instead of just an 8 or 9. Everything else is cooked and made perfectly; excellent portions and reasonably priced. Service is fast and tireless, they work hard and it shows. I don’t often tip for pickup service, but I always will here, and at 20%+. Highly, highly recommend Paisley Hippo.“

“I’m in town briefly while my dog is having surgery at a specialty center. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before picking him up to go home. I mistakenly stopped at a different cafe down the road, was greeted by staff not wearing masks and arguing with each other. I paid for my food because I was caught off guard and didn’t eat it. Found Williston Coffee Shop and immediately felt like I was in the right place. Staff was friendly and polite, wearing masks and keeping customers safe. Food was so amazing and fresh, and coffee was awesome! I’m so glad the first place didn’t work out, because my tomato basil egg sandwich was incredible. I know it’s hard right now, but you guys are doing a great job keeping everyone safe with your extra protocols, and it shows. If I come back to town I will come back, and anyone that visits the veterinary practice will get a referral to your coffee shop from me!“

“Had a good meal here. We used a bunch of gift cards so dont know if i would return if paying cash. Food was good! Soup and shrimp apps tasty and large. Salads fresh. I tried the steak tips with mash and it was good. Most others had filet which was decent. Keep expectations lower and you'll be pleasantly surprised.“

“We love the Essex and come here every time we travel to VT. The staff are responsive and friendly, the rooms are clean, cozy, and comfy. The one warning we would give is to say that the price that you book for is nowhere near what you get charged for at checkout. There are extra add on charges on the bill that “tax” your imagination. Just be sure to ask up front.“

“Delicious salad, shrimp scampi and ahi tuna avocado toast!“

“Great food, friendly service, very reasonable prices. That's what keeps me coming to Papa Nick's, usually once a week (more often in the summer). And I have to drive over the mountain from Fayston to do so. I love this place--Voula does a fantastic job. I just wish they could some day go back to having their Greek Nights on Thursdays. (They do have occasional Greek entrees but it's just not as predictable as it was before the pandemic. Then again, nothing is...) Highly recommended!“

“🥰Fantastic food and the best server in years. Thank you Leah.“

“Food was horrible, 6 empty bins. When we complained they said they were getting ready to close because of weather so they stopped cooking. I asked why we are being charged full price she responded, "You lucky we open" No! you're lucky I paid the bogus bill of 52.00 for lunch for 2. Oh, they now add on 18% gratuity automatically, you have no say about it.“

“Usually have a great time there. Our first bartender Matt was fantastic. Very personable and made us feel welcome. The second one, Brendan not so much. He definitely did not have the right attitude for the hospitality business. Maybe he was just having a bad day?“

“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 😁😁😁❤️“

“Great service. Drinks always full.“

“Highly recommend going on Sunday's and getting a booth. Great place to watch the games and grab a bit to eat. Also, they currently offer 50% off their burgers on Sunday's. So go watch the games, order some nachos and a burger and maybe a cold beverage, and make Sunday's great again 😋.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly foods are available as well as high chairs if needed.“

“absolutely the best service from Lisa in Williston Vermont I've ever had . Thank you Lisa . The food is always spot on . .Cant ask for a better place to sit and watch the game and have a drink . 💞 Thank you 💞“
