The Downtown Grocery

Be sure to make a reservation! Visited on a Friday night with a party of 4- we made our reservation about a week in advance and got one of the last tables at 6:00. Had “the Dude” cocktail which was delicious and unique. I had the burger - very good! The wait staff was the best part of the experience. Highly knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Definitely check them out if you can!

Like their web site says, "Casual Fine Dining". Emphasis on Fine. Went on a Monday, buck a shuck Wellfleet oysters, fabulous! Also very good $5 rose' wine. Tried the specialty cocktail, The Rosebud. Very good! The halibut was spectacular as well as the rib eye poivre. All food is cooked to order so it takes longer BUT is well worth the wait. If you want a quick meal with fast service go to Longhorn or Outback. If you want an authentic home cooked meal go to The Downtown Grocery.

I visited on a Friday night with my wife, brother, & sister and we had a great meal. Cocktails are unique and fresh. We only had entrees, but all were delicious (chicken, burger, special country fried deckle steak, & special lobster sauce halibut). Service was knowledgeable and friendly. White tablecloth, yet casual vibes. Overall great experience.

Another great experience at Downtown Grocery with Abby and Rogan. Venison ravioli starter, to nutty hummus. On to Celeriac soup w apples and the Prince Edward Island mussels w Frites. Finished the night with seared venison over a 'plaid' hash of potatoes, beets, onions and Kale and then housemade cider sorbet. Please remember to book early and go often.

We were already big fans of Rogan’s cooking when we booked The Downtown Grocery for our wedding day, but the food on the day exceeded our wildest dreams! The appetizers, stationary boards and main dinner dishes were all stunning and memorable, showcasing beautiful local Vermont ingredients - it's been two months and I still occasionally daydream about the corn salad we had. Multiple guests spontaneously came up and told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had, and folks were still raving about it days later. Abby was our main contact throughout the planning process and was so kind, flexible and great to work with. I would highly recommend booking The Downtown Grocery to cater your special event - thank you Rogan and Abby for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Unbelievable food with such a personal touch! We told Abby that we had gotten engaged and wanted to celebrate with Downtown Grocery for dinner. She came out to congratulate us and even included a personal note and prosecco for the occasion!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. We are so thankful for you all!
