    Ugh- We were sooooo looking forward to coming here. Unfortunately it fell well short of our expectations. Firstly the restaurant was 90 degrees-it was unbearable and we should've left after being served warm oysters but we were hoping it would get better. Joanne was great, but as soon as she went up to her office, service was horrible. We had to ask for everything. We ordered 3 apps and 1 came out in 20 min and the other 2 25 minutes after that! We eat at a lot of fine dining restaurants so we are user to spending money. We spent over $300 as a 2 top and didn't even get any sort of acknowledgement for our anniversary. The food was over priced, portions were small and the service was bad. We originally booked the chefs counter but asked to ait in the dining room because I couldnt fathom sitting in front of a kitchen-the girl said we would have to go back to our bar seats-however, tables sat empty the entire time we were there. Besides the warm oysters, the halibut cheeks were super stringy and my husband's pork dish was luke warm with cold puree underneath. Like I said, we shouldve left after the warm oysters but being our anniversary we wanted to try to make the best of it. Such a shame because the location is perfection. I still cant believe we spent $393 on sub par food in a 90 degree dining room. Sorry Hill Farm, we left underwhelmed, sad and with heat stroke.....

    Farm-to-table restaurant with a seasonal menu. Everything from pizza cooked in their woodfire oven to fresh caught wild bass or oyster mushroom risotto. This is one of those diamonds in the rough. We ordered the wood-fired pizzas basil pesto, marguerite, and mushroom. They were all amazingly fresh and the flavors of all the ingredients married well. The basil pesto was everyone's favorite, followed by the Margherita, and then the mushroom. The pita bread came out fresh like a puffed pillow and the hummus was delicious. The Interior is cozy and intimate with high ceilings and a lot of wooden beams. Lots of drafts and craft beers. I had the Conehead on draft and it was delicious. The ambient temperature was a little warm with the open kitchen and wood-fired pizza oven, especially with July heat and humidity so wear your summer shorts and light clothing. Service was amazing and all of our servers were attentive and friendly. Food came out quickly and everything was excellent. Gastro Maestro approved!!!!

    Everyone by far at this establishment is extremely accommodating and seem truly happy to be there and interact with you. The care from when you walk in to when you leave is extraordinary. The chef prepares an out of this world menu around local seasonal food. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Enjoy some time at the bar first! The bar tenders are super friendly and can make you anything you ask for. Highly suggest requesting the chefs counter if you enjoy making food. These chefs are so kind and friendly and truly humble in their work. They'll even shared some secrets if you ask! My husband and I had such a fun time staying at the Inn and eating here twice. We might be from Texas but we can't wait to make a trip back to this place.

    We got here early for some drinks before they start seating at 5 but the bar was full so they could not accommodate us which was disappointing but we understood. I requested a table outside but they do not have heaters and it was deemed too cold to sit out so we got a table inside. The food and our drinks were very very good. We started with the pita and hummus which has the best duck confit I've had. I ordered the margherita pizza with added pepperonis and my husband ordered the oven roasted chicken which he loved. Our drinks were great but our empty glasses were taken away without asking if we would have liked another which we would have. We were staying at the Inn so we requested our chocolate mousse dessert to go and it was also delightful. The super friendly service you experience elsewhere in the area is really not felt here and it was not what I expected based on reviews. Beyond that the food was extremely good and maybe it was an off night.

It's very new agey and different for the sake of being different. But, the pasta was delicious and high quality! The place has a major attitude problem, though. The aesthetics are off-putting and attract a crowd of the worst types of people. Had to listen to nothing but whiny spite and anger my entire meal from multiple groups of guests. The waiter was the worst aspect, though. I didn't even know he worked there when he approached me. He was dressed down more than a lot of homeless people I've seen. He also shared that same attitude of the guests and made my business feel like an inconvenience the entire time, having the nerve to expect a tip for bringing my food out to me, which I would have just done myself to avoid him. I can recommend carryout, if you absolutely have to have some pasta in this area, but not eating in, and don't get anything that seems weird on the menu.

We re-visited the restaurant recently for our 40th wedding anniversary, and I think it's only fitting to offer a view on what is best described as a bastion of excellence and gracious dining in Manchester village, Vermont. Situated in a refurbished former library building, the Silver Fork's setting, decor, and dining experience is indeed textbook flawless. Inside the upscale eatery evokes mid-century Moderne, a setting for the once popular Madmen TV period drama series; tony, chic, but hardly ostentatious and overbearing. On the contrary the high ceilings, lighting and space combine to offer that frozen glimpse of earlier elegance but alongside very contemporary culinary offerings. Table spacing accentuates a good use of space. We started with a "Rubies are Forever" Pomegranate cocktail with Pomegranate boba. The menu is large but not overbearing; a good mix of meats, legumes and fish. Equally the starters are enticing. French Onion soup is amazing but on this occasion we both chose the Duck egg roll with a special peanut sauce. Simply extraordinary and with generous duck portions. For an entree, my wife chose Mahi Mahi Fish, beautifully prepared over plantain. Despite being tempted by a brisket with horseradish sauce, the evening special, I chose the Ratatouille. Why? Prepared properly, this is often hard to find. The Chef's presentation of the southern French staple, was beautifully interpreted, accompanied with some goat cheese. We accompanied our meal with a glasses of red wine. For desert we shared the incomparable Caribbean Bread Pudding which is always a hit here. Allow to me to say our server Lynn showed a genuine experience both in the menu and wine list along with a pleasant disposition. We equally had the opportunity to chat with Melody the co-owner who, along with her husband Chef Mark, described their culinary Odyssey before coming to Vermont years ago to establish Silver Fork. Silver Fork presents a genuine chef-prepared culinary experience both in terms of cuisine as well as ambiance and flawless service. We'll be back!

First I must comment on the beautiful job that the owners had performed in transforming this Library into to a paradise for eating. Tables are spaced far enough apart that you feel that you are having a private dining experience. The art work is beautiful and arranged tastefully. The wait staff are courteous and respectful. You can tell that this is an upscale restaurant as soon as as you are seated. The food is the best I have ever had. I have dined in many Michelin starred restaurants but the food at The Silver Fork is beyond reproach. I must say that the cocktails are on the same level as the food served. I can't wait to return to Manchester so that I may once again experience this perfect meal. Diane & Larry Katz (NJ)

It was the perfect setting for a memorable holiday dinner. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly, attentive service from our server, Jamie. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and rich with history, making us feel like we had stepped back in time. We started with an Old Fashioned made with Smugglers' Notch bourbon for me and a refreshing Blueberry Refresher for my wife. The homemade cranberry fritters served with Vermont maple butter were an outstanding way to begin the meal. Next came bowls of the delicious Cheddar & Ale Onion Soup, followed by the Maple Butter & Walnut Encrusted Brie served with Vermont apples and toasted baguette--an excellent combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors. Our entrees were preceded by fresh field greens salads with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles, along with warm, freshly baked bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the Traditional Pot Roast--tender brisket slow-cooked in the tavern's Circa 1790 Amber Ale with rich pan gravy. My wife chose the Scrod with pumpkin seeds, butter, Chardonnay, and lemon, which was perfectly prepared and beautifully balanced. To finish, we shared the Cranberry & Apple Crisp topped with local vanilla ice cream and whipped cream--a fittingly New England ending to an exceptional meal. The combination of outstanding food, welcoming hospitality, and the unique historic atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. If you're visiting Manchester, Ye Olde Tavern is well worth a visit, especially if you're looking to enjoy classic Vermont cuisine in one of the state's most historic settings.

    Yelp asks what could improve?…read more Well, for starters my now wife and I booked an elopement package here. We booked the Tier Two package as we thought it was the best value. Based on what we saw on their website it looked amazing! Unfortunately after the experience it felt extremely over priced. We were under the impression the manager Cheryl was going to be there and was assisting us with any questions or issues that came up leading up to our special day and then the day before found out that she was on vacation and Jen would be helping us. Upon checking in we went to our room the "Lucinda's Suite" which by the name sounds great. The room itself was large and rustic which isn't bad and was what we were looking for however when i went to use the shower i barely fit never mind the shower head was at my chest level. I'm not a tall person either. On Saturday the day of our "special day" we went to the included breakfast which was nice but were left wondering what was going on for our big day as we were introduced to absolutely no one and told nothing besides a time to show up. When my wife and I went to the gazebo where the ceremony was to be held it was a rough site. Paint peeling, rotting floor boards and things of that nature, not something you're imagining to take pictures in on your big day. As we sat in our room we watched as they decorate led the gazebo...with a table and a table cloth. About 30 minutes prior we were finally introduced to Jen and our Photographer Greg. The best thing i can say was Greg was truly an amazing photographer and did the best he could with our photos. He honestly made the day for us a lot better with his energy and his enthusiasm. After it all we decided to just cut our losses and go home even though we had paid for 2 nights. The 3 hour drive and staying in our own home sounded better. Overall if you're looking for a nice place to elope this wasn't it, as our day did not feel as though it was made very special. The absolute best part was the photographer Greg Nesbitt.

    This review is written as a WARNING. I strongly urge everyone to read this before stepping foot…read moreinto--or ordering takeout from--this Thai restaurant. If you don't want to read the full story, here is the bottom line: DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT ORDER TO GO. A few of our friends had dined here years ago and suggested it as the place to celebrate a friend's birthday. I called to make a reservation, and the person who answered simply said "yes" without asking for my name, phone number, or any details--already a red flag, though I didn't realize it at the time. Once we arrived, another major red flag became obvious: there was not a single Thai staff member to be seen. For a restaurant advertising itself as Thai cuisine, this immediately raised concerns about authenticity and quality. The interior is nicely decorated and clearly aiming for a "luxury" dining vibe. However, the shock came when we opened the menu. Chef's entrées were priced as high as $60 per dish, regular entrées ranged from $25-$34, and appetizers averaged around $19. Several of us--including myself--wanted to walk out immediately, but we stayed only out of respect for our friend's birthday. The food was nowhere near worth the price. I ordered a tuna tataki for $16.95, which consisted of just six thin slices of tuna on a tiny bed of vegetables. I also ordered a stir-fried vermicelli noodle dish with shrimp for $34--a small portion of noodles topped with four bland, unseasoned, un-marinated shrimp. My child ordered the "beef tiger cry" for $40, which came with extremely fatty, chewy beef that tasted like the cheapest cut imaginable, despite the menu claiming it was Angus beef (highly doubtful). Then came the final insult: the bill. The subtotal for 11 adults and 2 toddlers was over $600, before tax. On top of that, they added 10% tax and an automatic 22% gratuity, bringing the total to over $800. Every single person at the table was stunned. We felt completely taken advantage of. I have never--in my entire life--seen Thai food priced this outrageously, especially when the quality and flavor were so mediocre. Afterward, we looked at Yelp and Google reviews and discovered that they even charge a 10% gratuity on pickup orders. This place is not upscale. The food is not special. The pricing feels predatory. Please save yourself from being ripped off and go somewhere else. You will thank me later. I would have give 0 star if I could.
