    Pancakes
    Emily A.

    This little breakfast joint is like a morning hug from your grandma--if your grandma only took cash and cooked like a champ. The corned beef hash? Crispy, salty perfection. Blueberry pancakes swimming in Vermont maple syrup? Basically dessert in disguise. Bacon was so crispy it could shatter glass (in the best way). The California eggs Benedict with spinach, tomato, and turkey bacon made me feel healthy enough to justify the pancakes. Service was friendly, coffee kept coming, and remember--bring cash or be prepared to wash dishes.

    Outstanding local hole in the wall breakfast spot with great menu items to start your day! Service as friendly and quick, and in the small one-room upstairs it was easy to get coffee as needed ;)

    We eat here EVERYTIME we are in Manchester. Staff is always very friendly! Food is consistently good. They can move a lot of people through quickly, without feeling rushed. Wish they had more choices for cookies/ brownies along with their muffins.

    MAPLE LATTE

    The entire town of Manchester is a dream. Up For Breakfast needs to be everyone's number one stop when you visit. Some things to know: 1) very small which means seating is limited and they do not take reservations 2) it is located on the second floor and is not handicapped accessible 3) cash only - ATMs are located across the street. For the experience, we always have a great time here. The people are nice and the food is tasty. I usually get the Hungry Hiker (which you can't go wrong ordering here) but went with one of their specials this time. If you are lucky to see the Banana Bacon pancakes on the menu, go for it! The maple late is also a staple here. I get it iced and it's the right level of sweet. The inside is very cozy, not great for big parties (4+) or hyper children. The servers will definitely accommodate you and but the vibe is more for an intimate low-key breakfast.

    Best breakfast in a town with several excellent breakfast spots so that's saying something. Interesting specials like elk sausage. I had Croissant French Toast with fresh berries and pecans. Perfect bacon. Beware of over-order. Big portions. Great service always a line except in early November, February, & March. Worth the wait.

    Outstanding (slightly hidden) find :) Food and service was terrific and it's a cozy little nook of a spot with an elevated view of Manchester. I can see it getting quite crowded (luckily we were there on a slower Monday morning) As Emily A warned - just make sure you have cash (or a debit card) Prepare to spend between $40-60 with tip.

    The waitresses were wonderful! We quickly were seated. They need a raise for keeping that place running! The food was delicious! We had pumpkin pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The maple syrup was wonderful! Love the quaint location was special too!

    We were traveling through the area & found this amazing little breakfast place in beautiful Manchester, VT. As we looked at menu a local couple said, " Go in, they're great!" The server, Jasmine was super sweet & informative. Great coffee- what a treat as I am not a fan of Dunkin coffee. THE best corned beef hash I have had in over 20 years! I made sure to compliment the cook! I have 2 cousins who attended the CIA ( Culinary Institute) in NY. Both ran breakfast places & made great CB Hash, this place rivaled them! My husband's breakfast sandwich with Vermont cheddar tasted like it was made with Easter Ham- so fresh & tasty! The place filled up quick! We're so glad we got there early! Don't miss this little gem!

    Food quality / price (value) rating 10. The atmosphere is casual & laid back. Plan on waiting a little while for a table because this place is very popular with the locals, and attended extensively by visitors to the area. They only serve breakfast and brunch, and have limited hours, so check to he sure they're open. The owners, Amy and her husband are typically in house, with Amy running the front, and her husband running the kitchen. Amy's background includes a stint as a "service trainer", teaching people how to improve customer service, and she obviously lives by that mantra. I had the "Hungry Hiker", two eggs any style, fresh bakery rye, wheat, or sour-dough, two strips of baco, two sausages, and two pancakes with genuine Vermont pure maple syrup. Everything was high quality, prepared and presented nicely, and very hot. The wife had the "Farmers Omelette", and it was also excellent. The service was excellent and very timely. They have a typical diner breakfast menu, but with some very, very interesting spins on your standard expectations. (See the "Specials Menu" photo.). The prices were very reasonable, but it is "cash only". Highly recommended!!!

    Up for Breakfast was sold back in August 2022 and is under new ownership. Very happy to say the ambiance, service, and food quality haven't changed. It's still a great place with a great menu. The owner seems to be very "hands on" in the kitchen, which is great. The one downside they didn't change? Cash only!!! I had a veggie scramble with sourdough toast and it was excellent. Everyone else in my group was also incredibly happy with their meals. Jesse was our server and was friendly, accurate, and checked on us regularly. Remember to tip well.

    Having visited Silver Fork in Manchester on a number of occasions over the years, I finally…read morerealized I've never written a review. Well, now is the time. We re-visited the restaurant recently for our 40th wedding anniversary, and I think it's only fitting to offer a view on what is best described as a bastion of excellence and gracious dining in Manchester village, Vermont. Situated in a refurbished former library building, the Silver Fork's setting, decor, and dining experience is indeed textbook flawless. Inside the upscale eatery evokes mid-century Moderne, a setting for the once popular Madmen TV period drama series; tony, chic, but hardly ostentatious and overbearing. On the contrary the high ceilings, lighting and space combine to offer that frozen glimpse of earlier elegance but alongside very contemporary culinary offerings. Table spacing accentuates a good use of space. We started with a "Rubies are Forever" Pomegranate cocktail with Pomegranate boba. The menu is large but not overbearing; a good mix of meats, legumes and fish. Equally the starters are enticing. French Onion soup is amazing but on this occasion we both chose the Duck egg roll with a special peanut sauce. Simply extraordinary and with generous duck portions. For an entree, my wife chose Mahi Mahi Fish, beautifully prepared over plantain. Despite being tempted by a brisket with horseradish sauce, the evening special, I chose the Ratatouille. Why? Prepared properly, this is often hard to find. The Chef's presentation of the southern French staple, was beautifully interpreted, accompanied with some goat cheese. We accompanied our meal with a glasses of red wine. For desert we shared the incomparable Caribbean Bread Pudding which is always a hit here. Allow to me to say our server Lynn showed a genuine experience both in the menu and wine list along with a pleasant disposition. We equally had the opportunity to chat with Melody the co-owner who, along with her husband Chef Mark, described their culinary Odyssey before coming to Vermont years ago to establish Silver Fork. Silver Fork presents a genuine chef-prepared culinary experience both in terms of cuisine as well as ambiance and flawless service. We'll be back!

First I must comment on the beautiful job that the owners had performed in transforming this Library into to a paradise for eating. Tables are spaced far enough apart that you feel that you are having a private dining experience. The art work is beautiful and arranged tastefully. The wait staff are courteous and respectful. You can tell that this is an upscale restaurant as soon as as you are seated. The food is the best I have ever had. I have dined in many Michelin starred restaurants but the food at The Silver Fork is beyond reproach. I must say that the cocktails are on the same level as the food served. I can't wait to return to Manchester so that I may once again experience this perfect meal. Diane & Larry Katz (NJ)

    0/5 SERVICE. Genuinely came with high hopes, the menu looked so good that I was planning on dining…read morehere lunch and dinner as I was visiting nearby farms/shops which recommended this... but lunch was horrible. Mainly attributable to SERVICE which was HORRIFYING!! Ambiance was charming home setting outdoors and rustic wood vibe indoors. The food was average/iffy. Garlic peppercorn steak was encrusted with a layer of seasoning and yet it wasn't that seasoned in terms of flavor, was just ok. Ordered medium and yet it looked black on the outside and medium rare inside and beyond tough - I could not even cut the steak, I ended up just ended eating the whole thing straight up. So strange and not worth $30 at all. The Idaho skins were good just wish the potatoes were crispier. The signature applewood smoked wings were so overpriced and terrible. I could not taste any flavor, it tasted like boiled wings expensive 6 for $18. The worst part: service, or rather lack thereof.!! Upon entering, we waited awhile for someone to come greet and seat us and seemed to judge us when we clarifying what tavern was when we were asked if we wanted tavern or dining room. We were seated and took a LONG time until finally our server came to take our order. Then took an even longer time to get our food almost 20minutes. The other table that got seated after us the order the same wings at the same time, got their food 10 minutes earlier than us and their server was present throughout the meal . Ours just was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire time. Finally the food came, we ate quick, and asked for the check. We couldn't even find our server to get the check! The other table has already gotten the check and signing the bill. We then got up and tried to flag down our waiter to for the check and takeout box and after a long time she gave them but disappeared again for a long time so we tried to flag her down, again, so we could actually pay. When we did, she rudely said "do you see the things im carrying? can you wait?" Mind you, we have been waiting for nearly another 20 minutes after we finished eating for any appearance from the waiter. We tried asking the other waiter who was actually present if we could but said we needed to get our actual server. We finally finished the whole transaction (20min waiting for food, 20min spent flagging down the waiter for the check/giving the money), and frustrated we wasted so much time here while on a trip for just OK food, we just left because the server then disappeared AGAIN after settling our bill. Hilariously enough, the only time she seemed to care about us was when we left and she went RUNNING after us to ask us "you did not tip enough, did I do something wrong?" in a rude and fake overly concerned way. After we briefly explained, she proceeds to loudly shame us saying "you supposed to tip me xyz because I provide you a service and if not you're really disrespectful". The audacity. Service was beyond horrible!!! and still demanding higher tips calling customers disrespectful when we did nothing but wait and get yelled at by her for not waiting even longer and still needing to directly pay her extra tips. During that scolding we got, we saw her name tag: Avery. Overall: Foods ok. LONG WAIT for food and check. Horrifying service by one server: Avery. Perhaps other servers were better like the one who took care of the table who sat down at the same time and left 20 minutes earlier meanwhile our service was way slower, not as friendly, demanding tips, and public scolds/shames customers for it. This experience totally soured my impression of this place and now I'm questioning why people even recommended this place to me and why I went along with it!

    Not a welcoming experience at all today. We were escorted to our table by a rather prickly hostess,…read morewhich set the tone right away. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before our server arrived--she was actually very pleasant--but unfortunately things didn't improve from there. After placing our drink order, we waited 25 minutes and never received it. During that time, multiple staff members walked by, glanced at our table, and kept going without checking in. We ultimately decided to leave. To make matters worse, the server attending the table next to us had about as much warmth as a block of ice, which didn't help the overall atmosphere. Really unpleasant

The Veal was ok but seemed like it could of have been previously frozen. Not to mention, these two entrees alone cost us ~$80. The appetizers were far better than the entrees. We honestly could of ordered wings and French onion soup and that would have been a better option. The salad was the best thing they served us. And no, not any of the salads on the menu, the complimentary salad that is served by the restaurant. Service - There was one waiter for the entire restaurant. He was really nice and seemed like a good guy, but they probably need to give him some help. We didn't get our drinks until about 30 mins into being at the restaurant and the entrees took over an hour to show up. The two stars here are for our servers positive and friendly attitude. Final Summary Notes - DO NOT come here for a nice dinner on any given weekend or evening. Only come here for appetizers and drinks and only sit at the bar.
