My wife and I went for a meal here after driving by this Restaurant for the last 15 years. The food was amazing. Our waiter was great and the atmosphere was so quiet, romantic and special. Definitely will return.

Wow! Romantic, historic, quaint perfection of a fancy dinner. We were immediately greeted upon walking in and sat right away. The butternut soup was delicious. The local cheese board is a must!!! The tenderloin was amazing with the cheesy potatoes. The wine selection is great! The service is 5 stars. Plan a date, take a friend, partner, parent, whoever and splurge. I also can’t stress enough to make a reservation way in advance especially during the busy seasons.

We came here for our anniversary and had an amazing meal! The zucchini fritter bite and the fried calamari were to die for! My husband got the beef tenderloin and I got the duck breast; both were delicious! The chocolate ganache dessert was also fantastic! I can’t say enough about how thoughtful all of the dishes were that we had. Our server, Gavin, did an amazing job making recommendations as well! Truly a wonderful dining experience at Michael’s on the Hill!

We visited Michael’s for their Christmas Eve set menu, priced at $145, + 20% service charge, per head. For this, I’d reasonably expect a good level of service and quality food.

Unfortunately we left, after several hours, disappointed. It took over an hour from being seated at 8pm until the first “amuse” and long waits between subsequent courses continued. Whilst the food itself tasted fresh, and I don’t doubt as being high-quality sourced ‘farm to table’, it was served lukewarm and on cold plates. The halibut was extremely dry and vegetables generally undercooked making them difficult to cut. This was put down to the restaurant kitchen being small vs the high number of covers that evening – dare I suggest limiting bookings to fulfil expectations of the premium price being charged?

Service was mixed. Some servers were clearly experienced and did an excellent job, others we can only presume were new to this style of service. On our table, plates were left uncleared before the next course arrived and cutlery was not replaced. Other tables were receiving fresh cutlery with each course.

It’s a shame as the atmosphere is brilliant, you could imagine being on the orient express. Looking at past reviews the restaurant has so much potential and I hope similar reviews from others are taken onboard by the owners.

Michael’s food was exquisite. I had the Coq au Vin, my wife had the duck breast. Both were incredible and so was the moelleux for dessert. Excellent wine selection. Service made us feel special, we celebrated our first year wedding anniversary and felt right at home. Don from Brass Lantern referred us (you should stay here, it’s 10 minutes down the road).

We fiancée and I went here yesterday for dinner to celebrate our engagement and my birthday. The ambiance and environment wa spectacular. Unfortunately, two things regarding the food left us a bit disappointed. We ordered a kale caesar salad and the sea bass. We received a romaine caesar salad and salmon. Not a big deal but when you are at a high end restaurant, paying high prices, it is very strange that after these things are pointed out, there is nothing done by the wait staff. In the future, if something like this happens, something as small as comping a drink or a dessert goes a really long way. Especially when you know someone is there to celebrate and engagement and a birthday. What is the purpose of knowing that if not even the smallest acknowledgement is given? Alas, the restaurant is stunning and would still recommend to those visiting.

Wow!! My husband was not real excited when I told him where I had made reservations for dinner. He changed his tune once we got our appetizer. We had the Crab Salad and it was amazing. We both had the fish for the main course and it was so unique and delicious. We will be back for sure!

Best decision to spend my birthday here! The atmosphere was so cozy, the staff was so nice and accommodating and the food was amazing! We ordered the tenderloin steak and fish of the day. The steak was so good and even better than other steak weve had in NYC. The fish was so soft and sweet. Amazing. The only thing we didnt like was the dessert which was the coconut matcha panna cotta. The waiter, Megan, saw we didnt eat so she removed it from our bill – without of asking for it and even mentioning we didnt like it. Thats truly the type of service that is topnotch! If you’re here in Vermont and want a special dinner, I highly recommend this place.

We’ve been dreaming of visiting Michael’s on the Hill for ages. Finally, we made it! It’s a really great place, for the price I was expecting, to be wowed with every dish. Duck Confit was the highlight.

The best part? It’s dog-friendly! I can’t remember our server’s name, but he was an absolute legend! He was a huge fan of Portugal and Ronaldo, which was a fun touch.
