Casual Fine Dining

After having visited here more than 20 times and dining here too many times to count, my beautiful bride Stacey and I decided to marry here this past Tuesday, August 4th! I cannot begin to recount how absolutely perfect the occasion was, from the total involvement and beautiful execution of all the arrangements that Allison, the event manager, coordinated to all the sincere love and happiness that the entire Edson Hill staff showed us. The food was exceptional as always and Edson Hill remains one of our favorite restaurants anywhere. – Richard A.

“Edson Hill is somewhere that everyone should stay and eat at least once in their lifetime. Stunning grounds, personable staff, interesting food flavor combinations. The outdoor patio is really beautiful at night and lovely in the mornings at breakfast. For dinner, we ordered smoked carrots with lavender goat cheese and maple dressing, prawns, halibut and succotash, NY strip steak with a fried potato cake, and chanterelle mushrooms. For dessert, we got the basil creme brulee with preserved lemons and shortbread. The vegetables are so fresh, they seem like they were picked that day. Everything was extraordinary. This was a top 5-lifetime meal for me. Pricey but absolutely worth it. There’s really some artistic work happening here.

There should be a special designation in Yelp for Meals of a Lifetime to separate the 5 stars from the *6 stars.* In my opinion a Dairy Queen can have 5 stars if the food met or exceeded my expectations, everything was clean, the staff was excellent, and I had a great experience. Obviously that is different from these 5 stars. Well done Edson Hill, I will remember you always.” – Laura M.

Cozy! Romantic! With the best food in Stowe!!! Greeted with candlelight and a fire the casual elegance sets the tone for a special evening . I have eaten here probably a dozen times and it has been perfection every time.

“It was the most memorable dining experience that we’ve all shared together, seeing the sun setting over Mt. Mansfield in the distance, dining on the patio al fresco, sharing stories and savoring every bite of the artfully prepared meals. The dishes had ingredients that worked so well together, robust flavors that were refreshing yet unique to everyone’s palates. The wait staff was incredibly attentive & personable, the aesthetic was comforting & true to a Vermont countryside manor, the whole experience was pure bliss.” – Ryan G., July 2023

“The place is stunning. Chic and classic but not fussy. So welcoming. We are downstairs in the tavern next to the fireplace and enjoyed amazing service and incredible food. The manager came to say hello and see how we enjoyed our meal. Lovely, lovely, lovely. We highly recommend Edson Hill. We will be back for sure.” – December 2022

Simply put this place is amazing. Beautiful scenery and an amazing staff – Edson hill is a special place. Breakfast and dinner with a view and close proximity to great swimming and biking – can’t wait to go back. – Ross M.

“Best Thanksgiving Ever – We could not have enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday any more than we did. 4 couples -all good friends and we remained so after 3 days together. The accommodations were very comfortable and the views from every window were wonderful. Some of us enjoyed wood buring fireplaces in our rooms which made it even better. This may be a new tradition.” – Peter W., November 2022

The Edson Hill Dining Room was the best dining experience we had in all of our days in Stowe. The food was absolutely spectacular, the service was attentive, the atmosphere was beautiful and literally everything was right. Hands-down, this was the best dining experience we had in all of our days while visiting Stowe. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

“We had a perfect stay at Edson Hill this past weekend! Everything was a dream! We were guests here during a beautiful wedding weekend. The staff was such a joy and the service impeccable! We will definitely return.” – Paige G.

This place is absolutely fantastic! We ate outside on the patio, and had outstanding service from Vinnie! The food and drinks were top notch! Just up the street from Stowe, away from all the touristy stuff. Very quiet with amazing Vermont views! – Jonathan T

It was a perfect late summer evening (no bugs!) and we were fortunate to have the picnic table. As we enjoyed your delicious snacks, we sat watching a kingfisher catching supper; mother mallard herding the four remainders of her brood to safety; and the local Merlin catching dragon flies – all oblivious of our presence. Then came La Piece de Resistance- lobster rolls! Ten out of ten: even our lady from Boston could not find fault! All in all a great evening.

“Edson Hill is more than the sum of its parts – the location, the food (best cocktails I have had in recent memory), the rooms were all exceptional on their own but the experience combined made for a truly amazing stay”. – Corinne Kenney
