    The servers were wonderful and enhanced the dining experience. The pricing is still a little high for lunch. Overall, I will keep coming back.

    What a gem!! Our evening could not have been nicer all thanks to outstanding service (Pam) and excellent food. The menu is inspired and varied. Every dish that came to our table was delicious. Can’t wait for the next event at SVAC so we can dine at Curate again.

    The service was okay, although our server was lacking in personality and was relatively reserved. While the food was excellent, my portion of quiche was about half of that which would be considered a reasonable portion (note: I have a relatively small appetite).

    After reading so many great reviews I was excited to try Curate. However the overall experience was very disappointing. We were seated at a table in the corner of the restaurant directly above a speaker, making conversation difficult, with a view of the coat rack - not the beautiful views that are often mentioned and are available from almost every other table. The food was mediocre and our server was disengaged. Perhaps we visited on an off day, but I can only give a review based on my own personal experience and that of the others in my party.

    Lovely ambience and varied menu. Only complaint is the grilled chicken was cooked too well done and dried out. I would order anything else.

    We went for dinner and it was delightful! Amazing appetizers and entrees, very fresh and flavorful. The team has put a lot of thought into the dishes. I feel like “Cafe” undervalues this as a serious dining spot; maybe at least for dinner as the meal was exceptional and not “cafe” at all.

    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.
