Reviews for The Marsh Tavern in Manchester, VT
This was one of our regular spots - we made the trek over the mountain a couple of times a year for lunch at the Marsh Tavern. ... Service was excellent, food was good and the overall atmosphere was very refined and comfortable. But something happened andthe menu changed, and frankly, its just not as appealing as it used to be. It may have been the pandemic, or it may have been anew chef, or it may have been a management decision to reduce costs, but whatever it was, the Marsh Tavern has lost its appeal. Read more
A month or so after being there for lunch and looking at my charge statement referencing it i said to my husband- wasn’t the... equinox mediocre? He said “horrible”. Incredibly disappointing and not worth going to. I had heard of the equinox foryears. Unwelcoming hostesses. Carpeted dining room. Asked for a piece of bread to go with a salad and got a hamburgerbun. Really poor lunch. It is an old hotel in a downtown ( for vermont) setting. Not a charming- rather a shopping outlet skitown Read more
We had our Christmas dinner here, the only place that does not require reservation and available on Christmas night. Beautiful... setting in the elegant Equinox hotel. I had my best burger here and the awesome Tiramisu! Read more
This is tremendous place to eat! I always make sure to eat there when I’m in Vermont. I can say that the Shepherds Pie is... honestly the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t get enough of that shepherds pie. I always get that when I eatthere. It’s to die for! The staff and service is also great. It’s not that cheap of a restaurant, so be ready to pay.However, the shepherds pie is well worth it. I would totally recommend this restaurant (especially the shepherds pie) to anyone! Read more
We stopped here halfway to Stowe and it was well worth the short detour. We had Duck Poutine and their Shepherd's Pie which is... made with sweet potato. The poutine was good but predictably heavy. The Shepherd's Pie was very good, I highly recommend it. Read more
Always a big fan of a grapefruit cocktail and this place has a good one. Very cozy ambience and kid freindly which was a plus. I... had the meatloaf, and this is not your father's meatloaf. It pork beef and chicken wrapped in bacon, very decadent dish. My wifehad the bolognese, which was good and meaty but could have used more flavor. For dessert had the grape sorbet and mint ice creambrownie, good not great and that sums up the entire meal as a whole "good not great". Considering the other restaurant in theresort is a pricey steakhouse with 3.5 stars this your better bet. I am not averse to paying for a pricey steak but not one with3.5 stars. Our waitress was fantastic as well. If ever back in this area I would definitely be back. Read more
The tavern is wonderful. The food and service are outstanding. Far better than the hotel itself.
Great food, but beware of being double charged. Also, there's a hidden 'historic preservation fee' they tack on to your bill... without telling you. Also, my party was seated at 2 separate tables, but they still considered us a large party and tacked on aservice fee without warning. Casual lunch became an incredibly expensive proposition.
