What a gorgeous end-of-summer night we had at the Lake House Pub and Grill. The hostess sat us on the outdoor deck, and we got to watch a spectacular sunset during dinner. I have two teenage boys with very different palates. My youngest ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with nothing on it (chicken and bun only, with fries) and was delighted with his dish (a rare experience with a picky eater). He said the chicken was perfect, and the fries were “huge,” and possibly the best he ever had. My older son was more adventurous. He ordered the “ahoy nachos” (basically sashimi tuna with seaweed salad on fried wonton “chips.”) it looked exquisite, and he loved it. He even allowed me to try one, and it was a delicious concoction. He also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, a hearty dish of cavatappi pasta with a generous portion of lobster meat in a creamy cheese sauce. Two thumbs up. I ordered eggplant fries (mmm…) and a honey/soy Thai inspired swordfish dish from the specials menu. The fish was cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy, with a nice char on the outside and a yummy sauce. It came on top of rice noodles with edamame, peppers and snap peas. The veggies were nice and crisp. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night, weather-wise, or a more beautiful location. Also, all of the staff was absolutely lovely, friendly, professional, and seemed to be having a good time. They work as a team. Bravo! We will be back.

Outdoor table on a beautiful evening overlooking sculpture garden was perfect way to enjoy craft beer, nice wine selection,and specialty cocktails with dinner before a concert at nearby Paramount Theater. Eclectic menu was interesting with many choices including burgers, cod, ribeye, and my selection, lobster risotto, all yummy. Leave room for dessert. Banana pudding was a favorite. Priced well. Our second time there and we will return when dining in Rutland’s charming historic downtown.

We had an excellent time at Jessica’s. The food and wine were excellent. The service was exceptional and the ambiance just right for the celebration of a good friend’s birthday!

Our waitress was phenomenal curtious and knowledgeable. Very smily and polite. The food is always good and it’s so nice always having the option of sitting outside by the lake or inside. Will continue to support and enjoy this little piece of Vermont

The restaurant kindly called and asked if we’d like to have a table inside due to rain. The kale salad and carrot cake were great!
