Restaurants near Mad River

Starry Night is a hidden gem about 1/2 hr drive south of Burlington. Since we discovered it a couple years ago, it’s been a favorite for intimate date nights, dining with a couple friends and even larger parties. The service is always friendly & helpful, and the food & drinks are absolutely the best. We love the flatbread served before the meal - flavorful and the perfect start. Our favorite appetizer is the coal-roasted veggies, which is a large, shareable portion of savory delight. We haven’t tried all the entrees, but the ones we have are always cooked & seasoned to perfection and beautifully plated. Drink offerings are inventive and yummy. We have never had a disappointing experience. Pricing is appropriate for an upscale restaurant, so in the “special occasion” end of the spectrum.

We had a wonderful evening dining at Jessica's Restaurant at The Swift House. The food was amazing, and the service by Jaye was excellent. Cocktails at the bar with their mixologist Laura is a great way to begin your evening. Everything from appetizers to dessert was delicious. Also, we happened to dine on a Fancy Friday which includes DJ and dancing, great fun. This restaurant truly stands out as one of the best dining experiences in Vermont!

We had a perfect December evening in Stowe village and Plate was the icing on the cake. Delicious food, fabulous service and a menu with a little something for everyone in the group (two of which are fussy eaters). I would confidently recommend and will definitely be back!

Stopped for lunch before a game at Middlebury. Food was delicious! Friendly service staff!

We appreciate our local restaurateurs and businesses in general, but when they excel it truly brings our experience to a brand new level. Location is a bit trippy, but its something you can remember, along with the fabulous food!
