Wonderful fresh salad bar as a side or for dinner and great steaks and barbeque dishes. Fish and pasta dishes tend to have cream sauces if that's your preference.

Food was perfectly prepared and they offer a salad bar. Our room was quiet, I can’t speak to other areas. We will be going back.

My daughter and I were traveling together and the Publyk House was recommended by several different folks. I think we must have hit it on an “off” night. It was packed, and the service was not good. Our server had more tables than seemed possible to handle, and simply was not able to keep up. Our drinks were empty most of the time, she offered bread and didn’t bring it (after we asked a couple of times), and we were generally ignored unless we flagged her down for something…and even then it was a 10 minute wait for a refill on a soda. The food was hot and fresh. I ordered fish and chips, and it really didn’t have much flavor. After 45 minutes and 3 requests, we finally got the bread that they are known for, and it was fantastic. But the rest of the experience was sort of mediocre. We had a reservation.

We asked for a view. There were 5 of us. They gave us our own little private room. It was wonderful!!! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The salad bar was delicious and had a great variety of offerings. Our waitress was very efficient, professional and thoughtful.

The absolute best dining experience in southern Vermont! Comfortable ambience (not at all stuffy), excellent service, wonderful menu with fresh salad bar accompanying all delicious entrées and tavern choices, unlimited iced tea, yummy desserts, and competitive prices. Amazing mountain view from the window wall in the main dining room. Heated outdoor dining. Our favorite go-to restaurant!
