   Exquisite everything: from the service to the perfect flavor combinations of the meals, to the delightful atmosphere and attention to details from the flowers to the lighting and the drinks we could not have dreamed to a better way to celebrate a life time together. Thank you all for a truly memorable evening.

   Jessica's at the Swift House is a gem in Addison County. The food, service, and wine/cocktail menu are exceptional. The environment is lovely. We sat for the first time in the library. It felt so intimate and unique. All dishes were perfectly executed and with artistic skill. Pate, crab cakes, osso buco, steak frites, halibut, pork belly, and more...all enjoyed thoroughly by our group. Oh, and the sticky toffee pudding and maple creme brulee capped it all off. Terrific hosts/owners, sommelier, chef, service across the board!

   My dining companion’s entree was served lukewarm. Even though it was the “special,” it was bland, and the presentation was unappetizing. My scallop dish was also bland, the sauce adding no flavor whatsoever. Big disappointment. Given the obvious high culinary aims here (priced to match) the target is a complete miss.

   I highly recommend Jessica's. The food is excellent, wine selection and knowledge of the sommelier is outstanding and the ambience is lovely. It is by far the best food in Middlebury.

   We really like this place but our server seemed poorly trained (didn't come back to check on us after food was delivered, forgot to send sommelier over). And our steaks were delivered cold although our sides etc. were hot so it was sort of an unpleasant contrast--also cold medium rare steak just doesn't taste that good.

    Jessica’s food is consistently exquisite. It’s my go to place when family is visiting, and it’s also the place I go when I just want to have a special meal by myself with a book.

    Drinks were slow to come out and get refills. Steak was over cooked. Pate had a metal aftertaste. Ordered the halibut. Fish was excellent, but the fried beyond recognition Brussels sprouts took away from an otherwise healthy and tasty dish. The seasonal salad was very good.

    A gem right here in the town we call home. Will certainly come back. Great wine recommendation from Dave who guided our choice with information and humor. The wine list was extensive and easy to navigate. Food was impressive. Another chef said that "Perfection is lots of simple things done right". The food was far from simple, but all of the elements were done well. The service was practical, and genuine. Our experience was great from the moment we were greeted at the door to when we walked out of it on our way home. Highly recommend.

    We arrived early and enjoyed a drink in their wonderful little bar area. The bartender makes an awesome cosmo! Our table was delightful in front of the fireplace. The pate appetizer was delicious as was the swordfish that my husband had. My steak special was cooked to perfection and the desert was out of this world. Our only comment would be our waitress - it was extremely hard for us to hear her speak and when she brought our bread and appetizer she practical tossed it on the table. I had to ask for an additional plate after she took the bread plate away. The wine steward and other waitress filled our water glasses. Again, overall the place was wonderful, she just put a dim on an otherwise wonderful birthday celebration.

    Upon arrival at our reservation time, we waited approx 10 minutes to be seated. When we were finally seated by David, we realized he was the individual conversing with previously seated diners while we waited. The dining room was crowded and it took our server some time to take our drink order. I ordered the halibut and my wife ordered the steak frites, medium well. After another extended period, our server returned and asked again how my wife wanted the steak cooked. When the meals were served, my halibut was excellent, however, my wife's steak was charred black on the outside and definitely well done inside, no pink at all.. Since it was sliced , anyone paying attention could see this was not medium well. The server never returned to ask how the food tasted---no wonder. Most people like their steak rare to medium and that's fine. The chef needs to review his steak temperature guide and serve the customer's request. By the way, if you decide you would like more bread be prepared to pay for an extra “order”, which is not indicated anywhere on the menu. Not a first class experience.

    We had an amazing experience at Jessica’s. Everything was absolutely amazing; from the drinks and appetizers, to the meal and deserts. The ambience was perfect and waitress was tentative to our needs. I feel bad for not going there earlier when I first read about this place. It’s certain a place that should be on everyone’s “must go to list”. We will certainly be going back much more often. Make sure to get reservations well in advance if you plan on dining there.

    Vegetarians who want to dine here regularly might check on offerings-could be the same cauliflower steak choice-which is good but limited. Honestly, have not investigated how often V. choices change or how flexible the chef is in leaving meat out. (WOULD have loved the potatoes without the duck fat, for instance) If you like SWEET!!! you are in luck for desserts-next time I will try an espresso instead. Staff is fabulous !!!! as I suspect the chef is too. A pile of this chef's vegetables with potatoes would be heaven.

    Wonderful place to share a great meal with friends. My friends enjoyed their non-vegetarian meals. I wish my vegetarian meals was less spicy. Frustrating that so many good restaurants feel the need to add too much spice in otherwise wonderful vegetarian meals.
