We had a wonderful evening dining at Jessica's Restaurant at The Swift House. The food was amazing, and the service by Jaye was excellent. Cocktails at the bar with their mixologist Laura is a great way to begin your evening. Everything from appetizers to dessert was delicious. Also, we happened to dine on a Fancy Friday which includes DJ and dancing, great fun. This restaurant truly stands out as one of the best dining experiences in Vermont!
