    I have eaten at Swift House many times and the food is always good, but last night's meal was superb! My strip steak was perfectly charred, tender, with an excellent sauce. The service too was particularly warm and inviting. P.S. I find the credit card requirement for reservations (particularly the stiff amounts) off-putting, though I always call to cancel when necessary

    Great, service great food, and a lovely atmosphere. The experience was very welcoming and appropriate for the special occasion we were celebrating. The waiter was attentive, and helpful with menu choices. He provide a light atmosphere of humor.

    Everything was outstanding from the bread, both of our small plates & large plates to the dessert. I'm not sure I've ever had a restaurant experience where every single dish was as delicious.

    Another delicious dinner at Jessica‘s! The tuna was perfectly prepared, the beet salad I could eat three times a day (and who says that about beets?), and the sticky toffee with salted caramel and candied ginger…. Well there went my New Years Resolution. In addition, the staff are so kind and thoughtful, the environ so cozy. I‘ll be back again when I return to the area.

    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!
