Best American Restaurants in Dorset

The dining room is spacious and provides a relaxing setting for a delicious dinner. The menu provides a variety of choices and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal when we dined there.

The food and service exceeded our expectations. Our experience with southern food was one that included heavily fried food but this was not the case at Pearls. The beignets were light and delicious. Our entrees, scallops pleasantly presented with squash and fresh carrots and the shrimp creole were excellent. The servers could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. We were celebrating our anniversary and were congratulated by the staff. We would highly recommend going to Pearls and will certainly return,

This was the second time our service wasn’t great. We had to flag our server down to order wine with dinner and dinner came before the wine arrived. Not a huge deal as our server was responsive when we flagged him,

Irate never fails to impress. Food, service and ambiance are superb. Located in the Southern Vermont Arts Center, where today the member artists exhibition opened. Tonya, our regular server in the dining room is wonderful. She is the best! I had a delish cup of soup to start followed by the Denver Omelette and great home fries. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich without the bread and loved every bite. For desert we split a chocolate dish which was spectacular.

We ate at the Dorset Inn restaurant several times, as we were staying there. Service is always very attentive. Reservations are honored in a timely fashion.  Burgers, pastas, salads, specials, etc. were all excellent. The dining room and the pub can be a little more noisy than the large cozy dining room. You can eat at the bar. There’s a nice roaring fireplace in the pub area as well.
