A wonderful dinning experience. Welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable service. Well served dinner. The Tuna Crudo and Pork Belly starters were excellent followed by equally excellent Cast Iron Chicken w/Rosemary Sausage. My Black Cod was exceptional served w/Black Rice and small Bock Chois. Overall, for our second dinner at Jessica’s, we were very pleasantly pleased.

This was our 2nd time eating here. It was just as good. Again, we had "duck two ways" and the "cast iron chicken". We again had the fried green tomatoes. We tried something new this time around also. We had the tuna crudo and pork belly. My goodness, the food is delicious. ZERO complaints. Our waitress was Myra, same as before. Great service. Lovely ambiance. Best spot in Middlebury. We didn't get to try breakfast and brunch menu but I'm sure it won't disappoint. I highly recommend going here.

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.
