Central VT hosts fine dining in Killington, Woodstock, Chittenden, and more

A diverse, beautifully crafted menu and sophisticated surroundings combine to provide guests at the Castle Hill Resort and Spa’s restaurant an unforgettable dining experience. The French-influenced American cuisine offered in a prix fixe, three-course seasonal gourmet meal might include steamed Prince Edward Island mussels, New England lobster bisque, beef Wellington or slow-roasted rack of lamb. The restaurant features local, fresh produce, quality meats and freshly made desserts. And the room they are served in is a true wonder, with the opulent glow of candles against wood paneling, the quiet chime of a grandfather clock and understated music in the background. It’s an intimate, elegant atmosphere in which to enjoy a carefully prepared and presented meal. Ask about the resort’s gourmet getaway package.

Your taste buds are in for a real treat when you dine at the Mountain Top Restaurant’s restaurant.
