Jessica's at Swift House Inn is located in Middlebury, Vermont, just two blocks from downtown Middlebury. Set in an 1814 stately home, surrounded by beautiful lawns and gardens, Jessica's elegant atmosphere is the perfect place for a dinner for two, or a celebratory dinner for four to forty. Come experience Chef Rob Fenn's seasonal, Vermont-inspired menu.

Jessica's is the recipient of the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for our wine list, one of only a handful of restaurants in Vermont and fewer than 1400 restaurants world-wide so honored.

Thanksgiving at Jessica’s at Swift House is very special! Everything was amazing from the service to fabulous food and wine recommendations. They also accommodated a change in reservation time because of inclement weather.

Such a warm welcome as we arrived, a very knowledgeable team, excellent cocktails in the bar before dinner, a well-versed sommelier, & a DELICIOUS menu. As a party of five, We had the duck, scallops, mussels, soups and salads, all of which we enjoyed greatly. The STICKY TOFFEE pudding was one of the very best any of us had ever had…x The fire was roaring, the ambience invited us to linger. Thank you Team Jessica for a fabulous evening.

So so good. Every time there is availability at the hotel we look forward to stay there. My daughter just said. I love coming here us so cozy and it feels like home.

The two of us had amazing meals! The tuna special was spectacular. Our server - and all the staff - were delightful, offering just the right amount of attention without being annoying. It feels like being in a cozy, comfortable home with inspired and outstanding food!
