Parsons Dinner House - Barton

As a professional travel and event planner based in Boston, I 've eaten at award winning restaurants in major cities across the world. After many visits, I can say that the food is consistently noteworthy and the talented chef does an amazing job keeping the menu fresh, seasonal, and interesting. It may be tucked away in the Northeast Kingdom, but the quality of food would give most big city restaurants a run for their money. We 've entertained friends from NYC, Boston and Dallas at Parsons and all of them have been blown away. Just go, you won 't be disappointed. Oh, and don 't miss the homemade Maple Pie!

This was by far the best meal I have ever eaten. Wonderful cocktails. Delicious appetizers. Perfectly cooked meals, and dessert to die for. Perfect anniversary dinner. Perfect service by the whole staff. And a beautiful dinning room too.

You have to go eat there! The food is incredibly good and homemade (with fresh, local produce to boot). The staff is kind, warm and professional. The place has an old-fashioned charm, its tables set with a white tablecloth worthy of a great restaurant and a little jazzy music. We had a glass of wine each, salmon and sole meunière for main courses, and cheesecake for dessert. We were on cloud nine and we even thought several times that it had been a long time since we had eaten so well in a restaurant! It’s certain, you won’t regret going there!

Truly an incredible market to table place. Probably the best restaurant in the New England area! The menu is beautifully crafted and changes every season. Everything was beyond delicious, you just can’t go wrong. Maria who is the owner but also serves the guests is nothing but amazing! We had dinner yesterday and came back the next day just because of how delicious the food was. Definitely worth a visit!

So good, amazing Parking: Not very big like the leftovers, perfect for take-out.A long way to Barton from Newport but the trip is worth it
