Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. My BLT on brioche was absolutely decadent. The plate of hand cut fries and basket of polenta fries we shared at my table went quickly.

The warm wood decor was very inviting and we were impressed with the calm projected from the open kitchens. For drinks, my friend got a chilled wine which she loved and I had a tasty Hen of the Wood cider. For food, every dish was a hit. Parker house rolls with radish butter, a local cheese with their homemade crackers and apple hazelnut sauce. The heirloom tomato and beet appetizer set on a sauce of tahini and chili oil was honestly my favorite taste of the evening - that sauce combo was so yummy. We shared the duck entree and very delicate broccolini side - divine. The lemon posset and corn ice cream for dessert. Anything you order will be fabulous. We had reserved our table far in advance, but the bar seemed to have decent turnover rates so I imagine one could have a good chance walking in for dinner there.

Couple of notes: 1)…read moreapparently, the menu changes frequently. For example only one or two things on the yelp menu were on the menu I received 2) New American is a very apt characterization of the menu with emphasis on new. As in new to the point of unusual/unfamiliar/avant guard. 3) I am not a huge fan of cruciferous vegetables and the offering was chock full of them, like Ham and Pork Belly with buttered Cauliflower 4) I could not find an entree that sounded terrific from the 4 offered that day. The hanger steak on the menu Yelp showed would have been great. 5) I had two of the starters - chicken liver pate with grilled bread and salami cotto. They were good. Pate is hard to make into a stand out. The Salami appeared to be made in house and was quite good but would have been better to share -- it's a lot of salami 5). The place was full and loud. Not sure why restaurants with hard surfaces and high ceilings think bass driven background music is the thing to do, but it appears to be. The noise volume detracted from the intimacy of a couples dinner. If you are really adventurous- this place is for you. If you favor the more familiar with a twist, you may be there the wrong night.

We heard of the Kingdom trails but didn't realize how much we'd love the area and all it has to offer. The Publick house is off the main street and near the trails/Mike's Tiki Bar. It's a cool old structure/barn that has a lot of charm if you appreciate the preserved nature of old places! There's plenty of parking nearby or in the Tiki bar lot. Bikers everywhere and the place was packed. We got lucky and were seated immediately around 7:30 on Saturday evening. We'd biked all day so we were starving and started things off with poutine. We also added on some burgers and mac n' cheese. It's bar food well done because everything was delicious. The poutine was massive and the 3 of us devoured that dish. My burger had some maple syrup and was unbelievable. Our waitress was phenomenal! Great vibe, great visit and reasonably priced - thank you Publick!

A destination dining experience that quietly rivals Michelin-level restaurants…read more Some places are good. Some places are memorable. And then there are places that make you stop mid-bite and think, "How is this here?" The Dinner House is absolutely one of those places. Tucked into the most charming corner of Vermont, this restaurant feels like a discovery -- elegant without being pretentious, warm without being casual. During my stay, the dining room was packed every single night, with real waitlists and a steady buzz that confirmed what was already obvious: people know this place is special. The food is on another level. Thoughtful, refined, and deeply satisfying -- every dish is executed with precision and heart. It's the kind of cooking that feels effortlessly confident. Honestly? This is Michelin-consideration legit. The kind of restaurant you'd expect to read about in a city dining guide, not stumble upon in rural Vermont. Behind it all is a true culinary powerhouse: Steve, the chef, and Maria, the baker. Together, they are magic. The savory dishes are layered, balanced, and beautifully composed, while the baking is exceptional -- the kind that lingers in your memory long after the plate is cleared. Their collaboration elevates the entire experience. Sunday brunch deserves special mention -- indulgent, comforting, and flawless. Come hungry, expect to wait, and trust that it will be worth it. This isn't just a great local restaurant. It's a destination. If you care about food, hospitality, and experiences that feel rare and intentional, make the trip.

Once inside, all looked perfect but the outside seating has the waterfall view and it's just beautiful. Service was amazing, fast friendly and professional. They bought us a bread plate with maple butter, and our drinks. The menu has a lot of delicious options so it was hard to decide but finally we had to have the Cheese Soup, which I have to recommend, regardless of the weather. This was excellent. And as my entree I went with the Fish and Chips. That fish tasted so fresh, the batter was not overwhelming the fish, and the tartar sauce was on point, It was a nice portion, that I was able to share with my Fiancée. He had the quiche that also tasted very fresh and the side salad it came with was divine. The food was so impressive we wished we had left room for dessert. But hopefully we get the chance to try some another time. Definitely a must visit.

Not sure what happened between the kitchen and our server, but 2 of 3 main courses came out cool. One was my crab-stuffed sole and the other was our son's $85 filet mignon. We had to let the server know. She brought over the manager who said they would "reheat" our dishes. I questioned him, um, "reheat" not remake? He said he could redo them but the steak will take 25 minutes (son's father had already dug into his duck by this point). Manager said if we try reheating it and it's not to our liking he'd take the steak (no mention of the sole) off the bill. We said fine, let's try reheating so as to resume eating asap. Of course the steak was no longer medium-rare and my fish was pretty awful. The most annoying thing is that he/manager NEVER acknowledged my meal being cold and removing it from the bill. Only my son's steak. Why? I don't know. In general, I think the food here is overpriced and very underwhelming. Now I know and I don't need to go back.Food did not have the flavors outlined in the descriptions. Our Waitress was very good though (not her fault the food was not to par for the price). The bread and whipped butter was excellent
