Best restaurants near me in South Burlington

What a wonderful dining experience! From the beautiful, inviting space to the exceptional food and service, every detail feels thoughtfully considered. We tried nearly everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. The short rib and steak were outstanding, the squash and salad were incredible, and the maple old fashioneds were amazing! What really sets this restaurant apart is the team. You can feel the pride they take in the space, the their service, and the care they put into every guest’s experience. It’s rare to find a place where the food, atmosphere, and hospitality are all this good. And one last tip: Save a little room for a tiny maple creemee on your way to the parking garage! The perfect Vermont ending to a wonderful evening.

Food was fantastic great drinks atmosphere was amazing we all enjoyed and will be back!

VERY high quality food at this lovely, cozy-feeling cafe out in the country. Everything was beautifully flavorful, fresh, perfectly seasoned. Our group split the roasted oysters appetizer, and the house-made pastrami appetizer, both of which were amazing. My companions both ordered pasta dishes. I tried to order the special pasta (squash bucatini) but it was sold out. The shrimp and grits I pivoted to were amazing, though, so no regrets! One thing I was a little surprised by was the number of menu items that were sold out by the time we ordered. We had a 6:00 p.m. reservation, so I wouldn't have expected so many things to sell out so early in the evening. That said, the restaurant was packed, with parties who had gotten there even earlier than us, so I gather the dinner hour skews a bit early in rural Vermont. Ambiance and service were lovely. Prices were in line with what I'd expect at a higher end, farm-to-table venue. I would definitely dine here again!

The food was outstanding. Well seasoned salmon, generous portion and cooked perfectly. Delicious roasted vegetables. The bread pudding is enough for two and delicious. Coffee with desert wasn’t hot but quickly replaced. The waiters Jake and Susan were friendly and attentive. Scott the manager made sure everyone had what they needed. All in all 5 stars.

Great service … good food … nice outside seating !
