Our cozy dining room has quiet booths, a vibrant fully-stocked bar with 100+ bottle wine list, and a fireplace on those cold winter days.

The atmosphere was very cozy. The food was presented very well, and tasted just as good! We had the steak tips and a poached pear and blue cheese salad with candied nuts. Both were delicious, and reasonably priced. Loved the warm ciabatta rolls, too! I def. recommend Harrison's!

We have had many great dinners here and last night was no exception. Apple chicken entree and fish & chips were delicious. The bartender went out of his way to accommodate our requests and we love the casual setting that allows us to talk with other diners (we ate at the bar). This is our favorite place for dinner on...

The food was quite good and the service was great. Problem is I hate the setting. If you like cosy basement restaurants with a dated décor and ventilation problems , this is your place. First the good. My dad had the Scallops & Chorizo special , hold the Chorizo. Very good and a very generous portion. Second up was a... More

We were lucky to get a reservation on a Saturday night! So enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in this small restaurant and bar. Sit at the bar and chat or get your own table... Service is very attentive and the food is wonderful. They use local meats when available. Chicken Picatta is delicious! Soups are so good. There is something for... More

I found this lovely restaurant through Trip Advisor when our niece was visiting Stowe recently. The restaurants where she was staying (Stowe Mt Lodge) were just too pricey. We were so pleased with the atmosphere, our dinners, and the service at Harrisons. Everything was great! Our server was very patient with us when we hadn't even looked at the menus... More

Harrison's is a little pub in the basement of an older building on Main Street. It is cozy and warm. The food is delicious, the service wonderful and I would highly recommend that you give it a try. TIP: Make sure that you make reservations. Harrison's attracts a lot of the local folk and it is a very busy place.

The restaurant is located in a basement, so keep that in mind (no windows). The food was great, I had the steak tips with bok choy and it was awesome, the orange sesame sauce was one of the best I ever had. My husband had the filet mignon and he loved it. Great bar and fun atmosphere.

I had a great experience at Harrison's. The atmosphere was so cute and cozy. The place was packed, including the bar. The service was a little slow, but it was also packed... And our waitress was super friendly and helpful with our dinner decisions. My boyfriend got the blue cheese martini and was very pleased. I ordered the red wine... More

Overall I gave this resturant a 3 reason being we walked in at 4:30 and every table was empty and got told that because we didn't have reservations that we would have to sit at the bar and eat our dinner. After sitting down at the bar another couple without reservations came in and was told the same thing but... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience. Yup, we 10% made a mistake about not having a table for you that evening. We did not look over the table chart well enough to make something work for you and for that we apoligize. We do our very best to accomodate every guest but in your situation we simply did... More
