Restaurants near Center Shaftsbury Historic District

I had been to the Pearls in Manchester and was so happy to see that there was now one in Bennington, my preferred place to visit. The food was delicious and I love the openness of the space. It was a little loud for me, but I am sensitive to noise. I will be back. I had the 1/4 chicken with the beans and coleslaw. Very good. Nice addition to Bennington.

Highly recommend! Excellent food. Lovely presentation. Stay for dessert!

There was a huge group next to us with a lot of kids who were basically hovering right over our table doing dance moves. I love this restaurant, but that was slightly annoying. I would want to be placed in a separate place next time. I think couples that are alone shouldn’t be put near big tables with a lot of children.

We sat out on the patio-gorgeous view. The wine and drink menu awesome and lots of local VT beers. It is great to have the salad bar option and it was filled with super fresh items. Prime rib delicious, eggplant delicious, kids food abundant and fried platter overflowing! Service was prompt and friendly-going back again and again!

They had just reopened and ran out of my first requested dish, lamb cassoulet. Slightly annoying - but the dish I had was great and it's understandable that they would run out of dishes while breaking in a new menu
