Best food we ate in Stowe, VT so far, by a long shot. Absolutely fantastic food here. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The wine selection was quite good. Every bit of food was prepared just right. We did eat a pineapple salad that was so fresh and crisp and not overly dressed, which was on the Specials menu. I also ate the Halibut for my main course, which was also on the Specials menu. This was nicely done as well. My wife ate the pork tenderloin, from the regular menu, and it was delicious. The coup de grâce was the dessert. The ice cream of the day, which was an maple gingersnap flavor was outstanding, and carrot cake was hands down the best I have had in my life! The service was good, fast and efficient. If you are looking for a very good, but not inexpensive meal, we would absolutely recommend Harrison's. read more

We wanted to love Harrison's, even like it - it was awful. We'd heard great reviews from local friends. Pro - service is very good and attentive. Con - none of the 4 of us even liked our meals - they were inedible. We descended the narrow steep staircase into the dark dining room; outdoor seating was not open. The waitress promptly brought us menus and waters. There was a good variety of wines and we settled on the Sancerre. Charging for bread is not a good trend so $10 for 4 Parker House Rolls was disappointing. We also ordered the mussels and asiago fries. The chef seems to favor creamy white wine sauces - the added cream adds a heavy taste without adding flavor. The shrimp & sausage on mushroom ravioli had the cream sauce and cubes of sausage. The pasta primavera also had the cream sauce. It was super bland. We added chicken (see the photo of the chicken breast added to the top side of the dish not cooked in the dish). The salmon and its corresponding carrots were spiced with bebere which is very mild but not particularly enjoyable. And finally, the grilled rib-eye was bad, really bad. It was gelatinous and the worst steak we've ever had. I've only ever seen a steak cooked like this when it's cooked at too low a heat. We fed the leftover steak, chicken, and salmon to the dog. read more

Good food and service was outstanding. We sat outside and the weather was rainy but comfortable. Make this stop if you are in town.

Food was delicious! Dark vibe , indoors , bottom floor , no windows. Salmon , burger , bees knees and the frozen mocha cheesecake was to die for. Brought the kids and they enjoyed mac and cheese. read more

Harrisons really has a special place in my heart but I'd love to see them spice up the menu. The baked Brie was okay. The ribeye was decent but seemed like they were really afraid of over cooking it (asked for med rare and it was pretty much just rare). Will always come back here but they missed the mark slightly on the food. read more

We made reservations at Harrison's for a birthday dinner. The food was delicious, offering many choices!

Wow! What a wonderful experience! By God's grace we got in without a reservation and we were so thankful. Seth was a great waiter and recommended delicious meals.

Truly the best dessert ever. The ambience was so great and it felt cozy like we were in the movie The Holiday. read more

Ambiance: Cozy and Festive Harrison's sets the mood perfectly with its warm, inviting atmosphere. The seasonal décor adds a charming, celebratory touch that makes dining here feel extra special. Service: Exceptional The staff at Harrison's truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home. They are attentive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Meals are thoughtfully paced, allowing you to savor each course without feeling rushed. If you're unsure what to order, don't hesitate to ask--their recommendations are spot-on! Food: Delicious and High-Quality The seasonal menu is a highlight, offering thoughtfully crafted dishes that showcase fresh, high-quality ingredients. Here are some must-tries: Cream of Mushroom Soup: Creamy and rich with perfectly balanced umami flavors. It's the ultimate comfort food and a standout starter. Cod: Light yet satisfying, this dish is a masterpiece of complementary flavors. The cod is paired beautifully with a medley of vegetables and rice, creating a well-composed plate. Charcuterie Board: A Vermont-made treasure featuring artisanal cheeses, cold cuts, pickled veggies, fruits, and sauces. The blueberry cheese was an absolute standout--don't miss it if it's in season! One note: the dishes come lightly seasoned, allowing you to adjust the salt to your preference. Parking: Street parking is available on the main road or nearby residential streets. The area is lovely for a short stroll, which only adds to the experience. Overall: Harrison's is more than just a meal--it's a true culinary experience. This isn't a trendy hotspot; it's a place where thoughtful preparation and genuine hospitality take center stage. It's easily in my Top 10 restaurants in the U.S., and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking exceptional food and ambiance. Note: MAKE RESERVATIONS WAY IN ADVANCE Make reservations 3-4 weeks in advance especially if you have a group 3+ because this place gets booked-especially during peak season. read more

Food was good. Small cozy restaurant. You won't leave there saying best food ever but you will be full and they don't kill you on the bill. Good service. Reservations are suggested as place is small read more

Located off Main Street. One flight of stairs to get down into restaurant so not sure if wheelchair accessible. Food is excellent as well as a full bar with great drinks. We started with mussels and for our entrees we had the pear gorgonzola salad with the venison steak. Wow the venison was pistachio crusted and melted in your mouth. We ended with a dessert that was a pastry filled with ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Everything was 5/5! I will definitely return. read more

While on our Christmas break in Stowe we stumbled across this quaint dining experience at Harrison's. Not only was the restaurant warm and welcoming but the food was outstanding as well as the service! As we returned to Chicago my wife realized she lost her reading glasses so we retraced our step and realized she left them behind at Harrison's. I emailed Harrison's and the manager Kathy emailed me back stating that she had the glasses and would kindly mail them back to us at no cost! This is what I call going above and beyond for the customer! In closing, when we return to Stowe we return to Harrison's as they've found a lifelong customer! Thank you Harrison's The Gallichios read more

We had a great experience. Walked in without a reservation and we were seated right away. Food was great, service was fantastic!

We love coming here each visit we make to Stowe. We especially love eating on the covered porch. The staff are always so friendly and food exceptional. You can't beat the location off the main street, parking can be a tad of a challenge, it's limited in the back and street parking can be tight especially during peak times. I appreciate that you can book ahead, sadly not for the patio, that is first come, first served. This has deterred us in the past, unfortunately waiting over an hour is not ideal with a 5year old in tow. If you have not tried it you will not be disappointed! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g57415-d805527-r968036089-Harrison_s_Restaurant_Bar-Stowe_Vermont.html# read more

Harrison's offers some unique, tasty eats! My boo started off with the blue cheese martini (he liked the zing of the blue cheese) and then followed that with the maple Manhattan (a little too sweet). - Soup of the day, wild rice and beef: it was hearty, but ok. - Mediterranean calamari: perfectly cooked and delicious. We really enjoyed it sautéed versus the usual fried calamari you'd get elsewhere. - Piatachio encrusted venison. So tender! I made the perfect bite with a little bit of mashed potato, venison, blue cheese and cherry demi glacé! The veggies were also a good sized portion and tasty. Bread and butter on request, which was delicious by itself, and we asked for more to sop up all that delicious sauce from the Mediterranean calamari! Reservations are a must! The restaurant is small and cozy. Last minute, my coworkers wanted to join and unfortunately they could only increase our party size from 2 to 4 (we needed 6-7). Appreciate them trying, but the two of us kept our original reservation and glad we did!* -------------------- *Is it bad we didn't give up our reservation to go with them elsewhere?...Yah, we might've been a-holes. read more

Food was decent, service was great. Only drawback was a group sitting by us who had a "gentleman" who was very loud and dropped constant f bombs. I'm not a prude however when I'm dining (not just eating) I want to have a peaceful, relaxing environment and this guy totally blew that. So sad. read more

Meh. No big knocks out the park with food. We shared a bunch of options and each plate had something that could be changed to make it much better. Sauce mussels were in was far too heavy and lacked acid (even a dash of white wine would have done the trick). Mussels themselves were tender and only a few gritty, but we didn't dip the bread in at all after tasting the sauce. Tuna tartare app was very average with a sickly sweet blueberry sauce that doesn't go with raw tuna at all. Chicken picada was solid, but the green beans on the side were so stringy and tough they were inedible. We let the waitress know and she did offer to replace with another veggie. Service was absolutely fine and friendly-- the food just isn't anything special. read more

Great dinner tonight at Harrisons. Many drink options including beers on tap and a menu with enough variety to satisfy everyone. The pistachio crusted venison and pumpkin gnocchi were very good tonight and the frozen mocha cheesecake with oreo crust was excellent as always. It goes without saying due to location, size and limited hours that reservations are needed well in advance. read more

We ate here for our anniversary.. it was definitely an amazing place for a romantic meal great for any special occasion. A little on the pricey side but definitely worth the money. My husband said it was the best steak he has ever had in his life. The cook of the meat, the quality, the flavors, he said if was the perfect steak. I had the grilled chicken with asparagus. The chicken almost had a beautiful cream sauce over it it was a very nice touch to elevate the chicken. The place also had the most beautiful decor!! read more

I'm happy to review these guys - very cozy downstairs restaurant with a fireplace. We skied hard all day - walked in at 5:30 without a resi. On a Tuesday night. We sat at the bar - we shared the Mediterranean salad special, and both got the ribeye steaks with mashed potatoes and a delicious mushroom demi glaze. It was all PERFECT!!! low key - great food - just what one needs after skiing hard all day. The bartender made me a great rye Manhattan, and the service was great. I will go back, but I will make a resi before hand. It's not a huge restaurant, so i'm sure it books up. Menu has seafood options, chicken, pork, and beef options - it's not a burger joint- better than that - but come as you are and enjoy! read more

Food was OK. Prices were outrageous. I'm glad we had the experience, but I probably would not go back to Harrison's.

During our drive through New England, we spent two nights in Stowe and didn't have a dinner reservation so we popped into Harrison's and were surprised by a very cool bar downstairs! We found two open seats on a busy evening and the bartender was awesome and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing! Topnotch read more

Hello everyone, we are here on Vacation in Stowe, Vermont and ready to pack up and move here, such a great town and so many things to do and see, it's our second night here so reservation's we're made to have dinner here with our son & daughter in law who has made this whole Vacation trip incredible. Dinner was Amazing and service was point on, The restaurant it self was very nice and couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere. Our son made a little arrangement for dessert as it was Jen & I's 38 year anniversary so that was pretty neat. ( sorry no pic of what they brought out to us I was so surprised I forgot to take one ). So hopefully when you visit Stowe make a reservation and enjoy a good dinner & drinks. read more

Table for 5, it's birthday time and no better place to celebrate than Harrison's in downtown Stowe. The food is always wonderful, service incredible and the ambiance is awesome. Order up! Last night we had 2 orders of trout (one with no dairy and one with), 1 pork tenderloin, 1 wagyu burger and one kids fingers (ok, it was chicken not a "kid's fingers"). Each dish was wonderfully prepared with expertise is presentation and taste. But let's add some more, we started off with 1 calamari, 1 mussels fish and mushroom toast. If you only want one appetizer when you visit, go for the mushroom toast - wonderful! One gets thirsty when consuming this great food, so, 1 dirty martini made using beefeater's gin, 1 lavender haze, 2 switchback beer and 2 Phaze IPA. Wonderful meal, wonderful people, we eat here every time we ate in Stowe! read more

We were very excited to return to Harrison's Restaurant & Bar. So thrilled to see them survive the pandemic which affected Vermonters deeply, as everyone else.

Very good food and service. We started with the baked brie with jam, it was very good and the perfect way to start a meal. For entrees we had the ribeye and the pistachio crusted venison. Both were great, well seasoned and had great accompaniments on the plate. We ended with a hot fudge sundae and an after dinner drink which was the perfect end to the meal. read more

Food was good and service ok. Server was nice but no passion. Price was but a bit overpriced.. If the staff picked up their attitude would have made a much better experience. You gave a good thing going but need to find servers with passion. I say this because I'm on the business. Typically 25 -30 tip, today 15 % and not tipping on tax . Look forward to hearing your response that is if you care. read more

A hidden gem just off Route 100 in downtown Stowe, Harrington's offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a responsive and attentive waitstaff that we absolutely loved. We started with the Korean octopus, grilled to perfection--tender, flavorful, and complemented by a sauce that was simply to die for. The roasted squash salad, featuring delicata squash, fresh greens, and sweet almonds, was another table favorite. For entrées, everyone was thrilled with their selections: chicken piccata, crab-stuffed salmon, and the standout dish--pistachio-encrusted venison. Each dish was served with mashed potatoes, which soaked up the rich flavors of the accompanying sauces, and sautéed mixed vegetables--perhaps a bit more suited for summer, but still a nice touch. We ended the night with after-dinner drinks and shared a decadent peanut butter pie--the perfect sweet finish. From the cozy ambiance to the excellent service and well-executed dishes, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We'll definitely be back! read more

THE BEST MEAL EVER!! So I travel around the country and try all sorts of food out there. Chef Jamie I have followed around Vermont as his food reigns supreme. If you want normal cuisine, he has it-steak, lamb and other basics that are perfected. If you want something crazy, cool and different, he has that too. Tonight I had the standard calamari for me (drink the broth too!). It's always a staple. Then moved on to the venison and it was mind blowing-the sauce was a perfect amount of acidity and savory to pair with the hearty, most tender venison I've had. (Sorry, no photo). The pistachios gave it a great texture for the super soft meat. Since the last time here, 80% of the menu changed which is a great thing. Kept the OG menu items but always have new and exciting items popping up. THIS IS MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT EVER! 6** read more

First things first, YOU NEED TO MAKE A RESERVATION. I made my reservation a month in advance and some times were already booked. Arrived at Harrison's last night on time for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our server was lovely. We ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. They were DELICIOUS. Cooked perfectly and made with plenty of crab. I ordered the venison and my husband had the scallops. Venison was a perfect medium rare and seasoned beautifully. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the gnocchi was like eating little clouds of pasta. During our stay in Vermont we tried many restaurants and this was by far our favorite. I look forward to dining here again during our next stay. read more
