This has been the best meal we've had since moving to Southern Vermont seven years ago. The new owners have not only done a wonderful job redecorating the inn itself but turning the restaurant into a must visit destination. The food is thoughtful and unique without being overly precious or trendy. The ingredients are excellent, often locally sourced, and perfectly prepared. It's high-end dining in an incredibly friendly and welcoming environment, hosted by individuals who take hospitality seriously. We'll definitely be returning to enjoy the menu as it changes with the season. Note that it is a chef's menu so you enjoy what is served rather than ordering a la carte. Those who don't like leaving their meal in someone else's hands may not like it, but for those who trust the meal will be delicious will be incredibly delighted.Hello Maeve,Thank you for the kind words, and for dining with us. We couldn't do all of this without you, and we look forward to seeing you again, soon! :)Bests,Paul

What a fabulous dining experience the Reluctant Panther is! From the warm welcome we received as we made our reservation(yes someone actually answered our phone call during this mud season!) to the attentiveness of the wait staff and greeters. We own a local motel here in town and our guests invited us to a birthday celebration as they wanted a casual yet fine dining experience. This was our own first time dining here and I cannot rave enough about our experience . Presentation was wonderful-timing was just right and our waitperson was helpful and even above and beyond when we expressed allergy concerns. KUDOS to chef Sigal and her staff. OMG the food is fantastic, well priced, generous portion and to me-the presentation was the epitome of the experience. Locally sourced and tastefully prepared Our guests felt special and were thrilled to have found a new restaurant for their next trip back to VT. As Vermont Ambassador's we are always on the lookout for the true VT experience in hospitality and dining--Reluctant Panther will be on the top of our list! Bravo--and THANK YOU for a great evening out!

We visited this restaurant because our hotel had closed its restaurant for a private event.The waitress was quite unfriendly and not very helpful.The food was ok. Not fantastic but perfectly edible although very expensive.The atmosphere was good and the restaurant was quite busy.Thank you for sharing you experience with us. Reviews such as yours provides us with the ability for additional training. We hope to see you in the near future, our standards of service were clearly below par that evening.

Nice small owner operated resturant. Lunch menu is mostly salads and sandwiches pluse a couple of daily quich selections. They feature a large selection of teas as well. Excellent and friendly service. The sandwiches that we had were excellent and large enough that we both took half home. Thier home made cookies were also very good.
