Menu for Essex House and Tavern in Island Pond, VT

Wife and I ate dinner here, though this was not our first choice. We had a great time! The menu is varied, from simple things... like burgers, to nicer Fair like grilled salmon. We sat outside. The staff was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. The shrimpcrostini was amazing, and the grilled romaine salad exceptional. My only negative was that my risotto was very soupy andovercooked. The salmon topping it was tasty, however. Will definitely go back! Read more

I live in Montreal and head over to Vermont every two weeks for an ATV riding weekend with my son. We have stayed in small... hotels, Inns and lodges in rural areas all over Vermont. This is by far our favourite place to date. The room was clean,comfortable and cool (ac ????????). The food was was really good, even my picky son finished his plate. The service couldn?thave been better, and the hotel host took such good care of us and made sure that we had everything we need. We will definitelyreturn. Read more

Best food and service in Vermont. If your service is slow, it's because they are slammed! Why are they slammed? Because this... place is the best. Relax, enjoy. Don't leave bad reviews because you are impatient or you're just a typical Karen. Read more

7.17.22 We didn't stay here. We only had dinner. Upon entering the lobby I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and modern it... was given the area which is very out-of-date, old and plain. A hostess walked us over to the bar area and our drinks and dinnerwere served quickly. Our waitress even offered to split our bill when we paid. Food was delicious. My glass of wine was $8 sothat's very reasonable. Read more
