Best Lunch Restaurants in Dorset

The food and service exceeded our expectations. Our experience with southern food was one that included heavily fried food but this was not the case at Pearls. The beignets were light and delicious. Our entrees, scallops pleasantly presented with squash and fresh carrots and the shrimp creole were excellent. The servers could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. We were celebrating our anniversary and were congratulated by the staff. We would highly recommend going to Pearls and will certainly return,

This was the second time our service wasn’t great. We had to flag our server down to order wine with dinner and dinner came before the wine arrived. Not a huge deal as our server was responsive when we flagged him,

Irate never fails to impress. Food, service and ambiance are superb. Located in the Southern Vermont Arts Center, where today the member artists exhibition opened. Tonya, our regular server in the dining room is wonderful. She is the best! I had a delish cup of soup to start followed by the Denver Omelette and great home fries. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich without the bread and loved every bite. For desert we split a chocolate dish which was spectacular.

As a long time Winter resident of Manchester the Marsh Tavern/Chop House has been a staple in our weekend itinerary. It has been several years and the Marsh Tavern was phenomenal as always. The Tavern/Falcon Bar holds the fondest memories of my godfather and I am already booking my next trip back

We had a lovely dinner at The Chophouse. The service was wonderful despite the fact that they had a full house due to the early spring winter storm. Everything in town was shut down and we were expecting things to be challenging for a restaurant in a hotel where people were pretty much stranded for the evening - but it was a lovely evening and the restaurant handled everything so well. Eating there is an experience, so I would not go if you don’t have at least an hour to an hour and a half for a fine dining experience. I hope I am able to visit again someday. The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend the chicken roulade and the sea bass!
