Come experience Chef Rob Fenn's seasonal, Vermont-inspired menu.

Jessica's is the recipient of the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for our wine list, one of only a handful of restaurants in Vermont and fewer than 1400 restaurants world-wide so honored.

Kevin was very responsive to our concern about arriving at our show in a timely manner. Jay is a fine server who has helped us before, and the sommelier was knowledgeable and pleasant. Always a great pleasure to dine here.

Fine dining with lovely atmosphere yet no pretensions. Service was swift and silent. Wine list is huge and sommelier was friendly and fun and steered us to thoughtfully. Food was great. I had venison special and tuna tartare appetizer Don’t recall friend’s meal but all were very happy. Not cheap but spent 3 times as much for comparable meal in city.

What a wonderful experience all the way around. Celebrating a birthday amidst the holiday and graduation visitors, we enjoyed an intimate dinner in the corner of a small room. Our server and sommelier were friendly, professional and attentive and we enjoyed meeting Matthew who warmly welcomed us at the door. The patè was exceptional as were both the red snapper and black cod. So nice to find a fine dining experience within an hour from home.
