“ Wonderful place to eat. Although I did not stay at the inn, I met some friends for lunch at the eatery. Order at the counter and they serve you at the table. Delicious fresh salad with perfectly cooked Salmon. Big portion. I would come again for the wonderful food. ”
“ Excellent! Sliders are generously sized, sauces are excellent, particularly the blue cheese sauce. I got fish&chips and it was a massive fillet of cod served with hand cut french fries. The HALF salad is A WHOLE PLATE HEAPED and is MASSIVE (definitely a two person salad), got the blackberry, fig, and gorgonzola salad with the berry vinaigrette and it is TOP quality, very fancy! Definitely could make a meal of just the HALF salad. Can't imagine the size of a FULL salad: must be absurd! Ordered cake which looks amazing but had to have it (and half of dinner) boxed to bring home as the portions are HUGE. Give me 3 hours to digest and then we'll see about the cake! Nice ambiance inside. Rustic decor. Table was wonky and would benefit from judicious use of a nail gun to keep the planks from tilting and sliding the ketchup and your drink away from you. 1 screw per plank is not sufficient. Service was slow but there was a large party ahead of us, so not surprising. Food was worth the wait. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you at your table. Alchoholic drinks are purchased separately at the drink bar. ”
“ The Stone Hearth Inn is a hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere, food, staff, and location are all a 10/10! The owner, Vicky, was so warm and accommodating, and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. There is an eatery attached to the inn and it was one of the best meals I’ve had all year - locals come here for a reason! Overall, we had such a lovely stay and could not recommend this family-owned bed & breakfast enough! ”
“ What a great spot. The setup is very casual, order from the counter then go to your table and food is delivered. The place is clean, we'll lit and recently renovated. Everything was really fresh, made from scratch. All three dishes we had were excellent. Would highly recommend to stop in for lunch or dinner. The desserts were amazing too. ”
“ Stayed here for one night with my husband and it was lovely! The Inn is undergoing a renovation so our room was brand new and very charming. The mattress and comforter were plush and soft and the bathroom was located in our room so we did ... ”
“ Vermont at its finest! Proprietors and staff are lovely and food is excellent! Nice cozy dining room and great, home cooking, comfort food. Perfect on a cold night after skiing! Conveniently located just outside of the charming village of Chester. Perfect for a weekend in Vermont! ”
“ We went to the eatery and everyone enjoyed their meals! There were eight of us and we did wait quite a bit for our meals because they were pretty busy. Also, know that this is counter service, we sat for a while before we realized. Overall, it was a great time and the prices are very reasonable!! I can't wait to return and try something else. ”
“ Our absolute favorite restaurant in the area. We come as often as we can and have never once been disappointed by our food. The service is always great and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. We also love that we can ride our sleds here in the winter. Absolutely amazing, can’t skip place. We will always recommend them! ”
