Story

Imagine the entire state of Vermont as a food experiment or as its own laboratory where food products are grown and created for this particular climate; seasonally, organically, and sustainably.

NECI on Main is a production lab for New England Culinary Institute. For 30 years we have been teaching students to make connections with farmers, between the landscape and our food, and between seasons and culinary traditions. Sometimes we include food items that express a particular sense of place from outside of Vermont, or culinary traditions from other cultures, and use those items or experiences to enhance the foods grown here in Vermont.

Our menu is no exception in this teaching philosophy, and reflects the best that Vermont’s farmers, and America’s next generation of young chefs offer.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in recent memory. Ordered the duck breast which came out rare and room temp with giant gobs of unrendered fat on each slice. Was served with undercooked baby potatoes and cold cauliflower with hot sauce on it and three slices of poached pear laid over the top. My server asked how it was and I said "bizarre, but I guess I'll try to get through it" and she replied "good, at least you can get through it" and quickly left.

This is a true gourmet restaurant-- the cooks are culinary students at NECI-- they put their full energy into making fine delicious food with a classic presentation. The bar downstairs was a great place to visit as well-- good for quiet conversations. Atmosphere was very cozy and wait staff most welcoming. I can't wait to return...

06-03-17 Neci On Main is really starting to turn around. I heard the spring menu is going through some changes, so I went in for a taste test. I had the mint sweet pea soup for starters and it was great. It was a cold soup and had a light, fresh, and amazing taste to it. For second course I had the fish special, it was trout with beautiful skin on. I was a very surprised the dish comes with kimchi, sticky rice, and a tomato garnish. First bite my worries went away. It was wonderful and the flavors went really well together. Dessert was just aahh, I had the beet pana cotta. It is just a game changer you must try!!

Don't do it! Over priced and a crapshoot. Mediocre to bad food and almost always terrible service. They keep trying to reinvent this place, but somehow it never gets better.
