Parsons Dinner House

Food is incredible. We came for brunch a year ago and knew we had to come back since the NEK is our second home. Everything was honestly incredible and amazing quality, with some items they harvest themselves. You can taste the love and care in everything. Espresso martini and strawberry rhubarb margarita were delightful (and so strong). They provided a chefs tasting, and the hummus was the best I've ever had and the salsa was fresh and bright. We ordered the spring soup and poutine. Both delicious, and we agreed the poutine was the best we've ever had. I ordered short ribs with a ramp gremolata, unreal, while my fiance ordered the steak. He said it was chophouse worthy. Lastly, we took the homemade cheesecake to go and both thought it was incredible when we took a bite at home. This is worth the trip and experience. We also had made a reservation, which I recommend.

We found this place luckily when trying to find some food on our way to Canada.
It was almost 8pm when we got in. Staf was so friendly, chief agreed to make us a quick "diner". It was just delicious!

Not to speak about the service, the atmosphere (they were celebrating Black month so pictures about the story of the owner family were displayed) and the smiles of the people who took great care of us.

We will come back soon to try the full menu!

Thank you again for your kindness and the super-yummy dinner!

Crazy-amazing food in a real Vermont casual environment. Not cheap but worth it!!! Such good calamari, which I don’t even usually like. I wasn’t a fan on the house Malbec but other than that I was absolutely thrilled with this hidden gem. Went their for a bday dinner and stayed until close - we didn’t want to leave!

I will begin with the tray of fresh soft (local) cheese, cornbread and fresh home salsa with chips which none of us expected, homemade lemonade and a black currant martini (or two). Altogether we had the mussels, calamari, dumplings, ribs and chili. We were so stuffed that we had to bring home the home made cheesecake. A gem in the area and all the staff is fantastic. I should say don’t come, because then I will have a better chance at a table here.

This was an amazing experience and amazing service. The owner is an amazing woman who tries to get everyone anything they may need and i consider this to be a must try place for anyone who visits the NEK.

Very excellent establishment. Fresh local ingredients, fair price, high quality, and warm hospitality. Soothing jazz music in background, and ‘local resident’ is a must try beer. My only small complain is that the table/house is a bit tilted, so dining in certain spot felt a bit odd. Would definitely come back again to try other dishes.

Fantastic dinner at this funky converted house. Great gift appetizer, followed by two amazing salads (squash salad was amazing). Sticky Chicken entree was delicious. Too full for dessert, but they looked great. One would never expect such a great meal with this funky floor plan, but everything exceeded expectations.

Needed a reservation to be served dinner. Blueberry cornbread and salsa were a nice starter, along with poutine. Meals of the pork chop, scallops, broule free range chicken and Mac and cheese with chicken paired with local tap beer. It was a terrific dining experience in NE VT.

Highly recommend!! This restaurant will NEVER fail you. This is one of the best restaurant I've been to.
Staff is very friendly and very nice. Even during the busy time, they will make sure they take their time to provide the best service. The food is amazing!!! Ingredients are high quality. Everything is perfectly cooked and seasoned!
We were there for both brunch and dinner. Both equally wonderful!! Definitely will be back again.

Maria, the owner, was also our server and was nothing short of incredible. Her service was amazing and the food, even better. Everything was so fresh and you could tell how much love was put into everything. The drinks were delicious and even included fresh fruits from Maria’s garden. My friends and i were so impressed and left so stuffed! 10/10 recommend!

This restaurant was amazing! Big city dining in a small town. Locally grown ingredients made the food uniquely outstanding. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we ordered dessert!

This is Michelin-caliber food served in a casual environment by a warm and friendly team! Literally every choice, from cocktails to dessert, on this creative menu is delicious and delightful. Plus, each meal starts with a generous plate from the chef - such a delicious alternative to generic bread and butter!

Had an amazing date night with my boyfriend here over the weekend. Service was excellent, Maria the owner was fantastic and very friendly. The food was exquisite and every bite the flavor was amazing. I definitely recommend for everyone to try this local dinner house.

The way breakfast as god intended.
Everything from scratch. Breads baked daily.
Best sausage gravy biscuits north of the mason dixon.
Don't be in a hurry for a real country breakfast. Read the paper... Enjoy the coffee... Delight in the atmosphere...

Super friendly service!

An excellent surprise! We were visiting Craftsbury this week with the intent to drink and purchase as much Hill Farmstead as possible. Relative novices to the area, we stumbled upon this restaurant expecting something more old school and antiquated. We were delighted to see an extensive menu of delicious farm to table options. Everything we had from the empanadas to the burgers to the garlic chicken was impeccable! The hospitality was lovely and the ambiance was warm and inviting. We will absolutely be back next time we visit the region!

We came here tonight for dinner. Didn’t expect much but the food was so amazing! Highlight the appetizers and dessert. Definitely worthy to try

Possibly the best experience I have ever had. As a proud Italian from North Jersey, I can honestly say that I would drive 8 hours to come here again. Food and cocktails were all prepared with care and could not have tasted and looked better. Service was equally as inviting as Maria welcomed us to our table like we were family who was invited for a dinner party. Parsons presents a Michelin star dining experience without any pretentious attitudes. Thanks you Parsons!

Incredible Mother's Day brunch! It's my 3rd time there, and every time is a wonderful experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere. All top quality. I love the specialty drinks, too. Delicious and different. I had a Violet Martini on Mother's Day. Exquisite!! Thank you for an amazing experience every time.

Great service. Excellent menu choices. Flavors are complex and yet straightforward and familiar in many ways.

My wife and I don't typically dine out. More often than not, we end up coming home saying we could have saved a lot of money by making that at home and it probably would have been better.
This was not the case.
We have both decided that this was the best meal that either of us have eaten since we visited Europe last year and had a delicious seven-course meal served to us in Amsterdam.
Overall, the variety of food on the menu was outstanding, and the execution of the meals was superb.

I could not recommend this place highly enough. Neither of us can wait to go back. Worth every penny!
