Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Chestertown

Food is excellent and original while reflecting Vermont local products; Sommelier and wait staff are helpful and friendly and mixologist crafts delicious and unique mixed drinks. Lovely and comfortable setting with cozy fireplaces. Conversation friendly.

The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was lovely. We had a cozy fire and live music at just the right conversational volume. The food was delicious, and our server's suggestions for wine were well-paired.

We’ve had some inconsistent experiences at the River. Really enjoyed it when they first opened, awesome chicken wings app (large sized pieces), good clean food. Seemed like it went downhill after Covid, trouble finding good/experienced staff, food was disappointing. Our food was much better this time, burgers cooked as ordered, fries weren’t greasy/soggy, and our server seemed knowledgeable. Gripes: the salmon dish is underwhelming for the price, the rice that came with it was bland. Also the desserts were mediocre, cheesecake and mousse layer cake were cold and the cheesecake didn’t seem homemade. Overall, though, better than previous recent visits, and hopefully things are on the upswing!

We ate at the Dorset Inn restaurant several times, as we were staying there. Service is always very attentive. Reservations are honored in a timely fashion.  Burgers, pastas, salads, specials, etc. were all excellent. The dining room and the pub can be a little more noisy than the large cozy dining room. You can eat at the bar. There’s a nice roaring fireplace in the pub area as well.

Food was excellent! Our server seemed very overwhelmed and took a while to check on us for refills etc. other than that the experience was great!
