Jessica's Restaurant at the Swift House Inn

Unbelievable experience! The service was impeccable with the kindest waiter. Our food was top notch (roasted chicken breast and the steak). Lovely little bar area to relax while our table was being prepared since we arrived a few min early. The dessert was heavenly! And it was a sweet touch they added a birthday candle for my special evening. Highly recommend!

Well, this was just a devine dinner. Service is excellent, ambiance is wonderful, and the food is amazing. I swear my chicken was poached in butter, or maybe sous vide in butter? The point is that the chicken was amazing. We also had the gnocchi, and my wife and I were passing our plates back and forth. My wife had some vegetables for an appetizer, I think they called it "salad?" I'm not sure. I think it was French. I had the pork belly, and it was so tasty. Now, after all that food, we didn't have room for desert, but we split one anyway. We got the Ginger Toffey Pudding. This is "pudding" in the English sense, meaning it is a very moist and delicious cake. Don't sleep on this. You won't be disappointed, I promise. Oh, I almost forgot, we had the duck fat fries. Yes... yes... yes. Delic

We stayed the night at the Swift House Inn and had breakfast the next morning at Jessica's restaurant. We were a little late for a 10 o'clock reservation and due to a miscommunication with the night receptionist were not even listed on the guest list. That didn't matter however as Monty and Linus made sure we knew we were welcome and went out of their way to get us breakfast. These 2 guys were exceptionally courteous, professional and genuine in their service. This experience solidified our recommendation to stay at this quaint Inn for anyone who needs lodging in the Middlebury area.

Delicious food, outstanding service, impeccable atmosphere and creative cocktails. My partner had the blue cheese crusted tenderloin which was phenomenal. My liver pate and caesar salad were very good. Wine list is extensive and had a really nice orange wine by the glass. The front library room is cozy with a warm fireplace and a fantastic mix of contemporary art and historical artifacts. We were too tired to hang out in the bar and enjoy some of their cocktails from the resident mixologist; if you are there on a Friday, be sure to join their weekly cocktail event. As guests in the Inn, we also had breakfast (included) which was excellent, and featured wild blueberry pancakes and homemade granola.

Our family has been staying at the Swift House Inn for over a decade, this was the first time we decided to try Jessica's. We had a fantastic time. Service was friendly and prompt, and the attention we got from the sommelier really enhanced our experience. We enjoyed the tuna tartare and braised pork belly as appetizers, and our family tried three different dishes for entrees. The seafood pasta was served over fresh house-made fettuccine; the filet was perfectly cooked medium-rare and delicious with beet greens. Our daughter shared her gnocchi with us and enjoyed it so much we ended up getting a second order! Deserts were likewise fantastic. This was our first time at Swift House since the new owners took over, and they have made some wonderful updates while still honoring the historic cha
