Reviews for Ye Olde Tavern in Manchester Center, VT
We had a lovely dining experience that almost didn't happen. We are from NY and went to Vermont for the day. It was a lovely day... for a drive and leaf peeping. We had a late breakfast. but we were hungry by 3:30. We looked for a place to eat. We found the YeOld Tavern which opened at 4:30. We killed some time and were in their parking lot by 10 after 4:00. We waited around untilabout 4:25 and then walked to the door. The door was still locked. There was a couple ahead of us and more people lined upbehind us. At 4:30 the doors opened and we went in. Of course, they asked if we had a reservation and we didn't. She asked if wecould be done by 6:00. We said YES! She said she only had space for one walk-in. We met our waitress Tiffany, who was wonderfuland attentive. The service was spot on. The food was delicious. A very lovely dining experience. We even bought some of theirmaple butter, which was fabulous! You should definitely go, but makr a reservation so you don't miss out. Read more
Wow! So much history at this place. We were greet very kindly upon arrival and was seated immediately. The restaurant was just... about to be at full capacity. Our server, Larissa, introduced herself and told us about the daily specials. After we ordered,she got the food out for us at a good pace. As soon as we were done with he appetizers, the salad came out and then the meal. Wehad the New York, Applesider and cranberry chicken, calf liver and chicken masala. All were delicious. Don't forget about thecranberry fritter. Service was excellent and food was great. Read more
Great dining experience in Manchester! Delicious food, historic atmosphere, wonder waitress and staff that was accommodating... and attentive to us. We got the roasted turkey, it was very generous portions, and just like Thanksgiving! We also got the potroast and it was tender and smothered in a rich gravy perfectly paired with mash potatoes. All meals came with cranberryfritters with maple butter (so good), fresh wheat rolls and salad. The kids menu hit the spot for our little ones - includedsteak tips and mash and buttered noodles. We were so stuffed there was not room for dessert, next time! Read more
This wonderful restaurant goes out of its way to instill a Colonial era feel and succeeds marvelously. The atmosphere, staff,... and food are great. You would not be surprised if the likes of George Washington or Ethan Allen walked in and sat at a nearbytable. Pricing is on the higher end, but when you factor in all that comes with a meal (cranberry fritters with maple butter,fresh rolls, a delicious salad) it is a good value. Let me put it this way: It is not unheard of for my wife and I to travel 90+miles to dine there. It really is that good. Read more
We had an amazing dinner here on a very busy Saturday night. This is the obvious popular dinner spot. We had reservations and... were seated promptly. The space is so warm and inviting, the staff is also amazing and friendly. We got the app of lobster Mac &cheese, it was so good I can?t wait to come back for the dinner portion. The dinner salads are small and perfectly dressed. Iordered the Tom turkey dinner and my mother got the prime rib end cut. The meal was perfect, cooked perfectly and tastedamazing. The prime rib is HUGE! We shared the berry crisp and it was perfect with a cup of tea. We look forward to returning.The only thing is it is a bit dark but we look forward to summer hours and light.

I ordered the roast tom turkey and it tasted terrific. The meal also came with asalad, bread, and fritters. The meal combined with the environment was very pleasant. The service was also excellent and quick.Though the prices are a bit high, I believe it was worth what I got. I would totally recommend dining here. Read more
