    We had the "horse feast" fixed price menu with wine pairings. It was another incredible meal. Already thinking about next time.

    This was my second visit to Dead Horse Hill. I love everything about this place! The people, the food and the service are the best that Worcester has to offer. I have plans with my friends to go back in 2 weeks but I don't know if I can wait that long!

    An unexpected pleasure! Literally everything we consumed was delightful, from the homemade bread to the homemade ice cream and everything in between. Everything we ate had something extra special - tiny smoked trout roe that were glorious little bursts of smokiness, sparkles of lemon hiding in the mussels, even the herbs in the bread and the ginger the bartender added to a gimlet when we asked for a "gimlet with a little something special." If we are ever in Worcester again, we will be back!

    This was our first visit so we went with the feast. We were very full by the time the large entree arrived. We now understand it would be best for us to order a few choices. Everything had great flavors and taste. We enjoyed the meal and the service.

    This is just a follow up to my previous rave for chef Jared Forman and the team behind deadhorse as we just went for brunch for the first time. As in my previous experience, the ambiance and service from the moment we entered were top flight. The restaurant also has a different, lighter feel with lots of natural light during the day which is perfect for brunch. And the food: Highly recommend the Japanese Breakfast (Jared's pickle magic is on fine display here) -- there is nothing like it on any brunch menus around here. The egg sammy and soft scramble were excellent as was the pastry "basket" which was actually a generous platter of pastry, muffin, and biscuits. And by all means get the schlatte iced coffee drink. Dare you to drink just one.
