Reviews for Kismet in Montpelier, VT
Dined here October 7 and had a great experience. The owner was at the front/host stand and let us know that our table was still... occupied (restaurant is TINY), and that we could enjoy drinks/appetizers on their patio outside. We received complimentarypolenta bites for the wait and shortly were brought over to the table. Our main course was the seared beef and roastedswordfish, and the dessert (which was amazing) was the chocolate truffel. Everything that we ate seemed like the freshest, highquality ingredients, and were all prepared excellently with a touch of "home" to it. Our server was also attentive andfriendly. So to sum up, we loved the food, service, and extremely intimate ambience. 5/5! Read more
Went here for brunch and was very disappointed. We had the huevos rancheros and the carpaccio benedict. The huevos rancheros... were so flavorless and watery that I barely finished a quarter of the plate. Soggy fried polenta, bland salsa and mediocre eggs(don't even get me started on including beets with huevos rancheros). The carpaccio benedict was a little better but the platingwas a total mess and the hollandaise was also watery and bland. The espresso martini was so sweet it was basically undrinkable.The coffee was pretty good though, so at least there's that. Maybe we just caught them on an off day but with a total bill of 80dollars for brunch I was hoping for much better. Read more
Stopped by when driving down from Stowe to Boston. 100% will be coming back. The food was delightful, service friendly. The set... of spices they use and sauses they make really sets the food apart. Read more
Great atmosphere outside early evening. Good cocktails and alcohol-free concoctions. Short dinner menu excellently executed... with great ingredients and delightful presentation. Service was OK. Owner/hostess is a welcoming, delightful relaxed person. Read more

There are places that are blah and there are places that are good... KISMET isn?t either of these!! I was here 3 weeks ago and... haven?t been able to get this place off my mind. From the food and drinks to the service, it was beyond excellent. If I livedclose I would be a regular here. Pictured is the Smoke on the Water ????, Bread Pudding, and Seared Beef. Read more
My wife and I ate here this past weekend and were very impressed. We're vegetarian and lots of options to choose from. The... cocktails were creative a delicious and each part of the meal was cooked to perfection. It was also clear that everything wasmade from scratch, from the pasta dough on the agnilotti to the chocolate, whip cream and crawl in the truffle pot. Highlyrecommend! Read more
Kismet is unmatched by any other Montpelier restaurant in terms of ambiance, service, and quality of food and drink offered. It... is absolutely worth it to book a reservation here and come hungry. I've been to plenty of places like Kismet but usually leavewithout being full which was far from the scenario encountered here. The portions were large, even for the small plates, and youdefinitely have a pick across a variety of foods and cuisines. Read more
