Richardson's Tavern has been a comfortable haven for American travelers since 1793.
Our cuisine is thoughtfully sourced throughout Vermont.
During the summer growing season we feature fresh produce from our very own 3 acre organic certified Kelly Way Gardens right down Route 106.
The essence of Vermont and flavor-driven plates are paired with a bar featuring local craft brews, hand crafted cocktails, and a wide range of wines by the glass, half bottle, and bottle.
A relaxed atmosphere invites warm conversation and friendly company among friends and family. Dine al fresco on the porch in the warmer months or sink into the oversized lounge chairs fireside for a casual drink or meal.

    Everything was good except the food. Pasta tasted like Ragu and the salmon entree tasted like the fish had been frozen for a long period of time with a funky tasting sauce on top.

    The service was outstanding. The staff well trained. The drinks were good value. Since we stayed at the hotel all week it would have been beneficial to have a more varied menu. The menu was the same for both restaurants all week. The dinner salad was fresh and the greens were very good. There should have been more vegetables like sliced onions, roasted nuts, cukes or small tomatoes as an example in the salad.

    The food was very good and the service was excellent. We were seated near the fireplace which is what I requested when I made the reservation. Unfortunately our table and chairs were all metal, no cushions or table cloth. This being January the whole ambiance was very cold.

    Menu should go back to basics. Have been going to the tavern for over 30 yrs. Put the Cheddar soup back on the menu please.Maybe the staff could actually act like they’re happy to see you!
