    The food and service exceeded our expectations. Our experience with southern food was one that included heavily fried food but this was not the case at Pearls. The beignets were light and delicious. Our entrees, scallops pleasantly presented with squash and fresh carrots and the shrimp creole were excellent. The servers could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. We were celebrating our anniversary and were congratulated by the staff. We would highly recommend going to Pearls and will certainly return,

    This was the second time our service wasn’t great. We had to flag our server down to order wine with dinner and dinner came before the wine arrived. Not a huge deal as our server was responsive when we flagged him,

    Irate never fails to impress. Food, service and ambiance are superb. Located in the Southern Vermont Arts Center, where today the member artists exhibition opened. Tonya, our regular server in the dining room is wonderful. She is the best! I had a delish cup of soup to start followed by the Denver Omelette and great home fries. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich without the bread and loved every bite. For desert we split a chocolate dish which was spectacular.

    As a long time Winter resident of Manchester the Marsh Tavern/Chop House has been a staple in our weekend itinerary. It has been several years and the Marsh Tavern was phenomenal as always. The Tavern/Falcon Bar holds the fondest memories of my godfather and I am already booking my next trip back
