On an overnight trip with my daughter, we chose The Publyk House for dinner. We are both foodies, so the variety on the online menu was a big attraction for us. We made reservations and were promptly seated. The decor is rustic, with a fireplace aglow. We were seated near the window, that had a good view of the Bennington... More

This is a lovely, cozy restaurant up on a hillside overlooking Bennington. The setting is lovely, and there are outside decks with seating that I'm sure are great in the warm weather. Inside is warm and inviting, the service was great, and food was excellent! Absolutely recommend this restaurant and will return when I'm in Bennington again.

After years of finding the right venue for this lovely restaurant , the owners now have a winner. Great staff , beyond exceptional service. And the food; plenty of salad bar fixings and a loaded plate. Very happy and will return often.

We were looking for a place for dinner on Saturday night, prior to skiing on Sunday. This place was close to our hotel but not in downtown so we decided to give it a try. The food was excellent!!!!! Very good service, nice salad bar and a really great atmosphere in an old barn. Go!

A little disappointing,maybe because it was a Friday or there was a wedding celebration of some sort. They were out of prime rib...no problem.I asked the waiter if I should have the scallops or the 2 crab cakes/lobster tail (which I imagine was frozen)special. He said absolutely the scallops. There were 4 under tons of buttered crumbs...I had to look... More

Decent food; great views, especially from the deck and a #1 salad bar. You'll be well taken care of.

We made reservations, but got there 1/2 hour early. We had to wait a minute for them to get the table ready, but then were seated right by a fireplace. It was perfect since we had spent the entire day snowshoeing. Everything we consumed was delicious, bread, salad bar, appetizers, entrees (I had the baked cod), desert. I also had... More

If you are looking to have a lovely evening, with comfort food that is cooked perfectly, The Publyk House is where you would like to be. The Dining Room is decorated for Christmas and everyone...

My husband and I went to The Publyk House for our first date on December 4, 1982. Over the years it has changed hands and been several different restaurants with different names. The view, which is lovely, was always there, but the quality of the food was hit and miss. When we decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that... More
