The Family Table

If you’re staying at Smuggs, this is by far one of your best options anywhere in the area for a nicer, higher-end meal, by I would go as far to say this place is worth the drive even from Stowe - The Family Table is just as good, if not better, than most restaurants on that side of the Notch! Jeffersonville has a hidden gem, and you’d never expect it driving past the restaurant. They have an excellent selection of pizzas (red and white sauce), pastas (which can all be made gluten-free), cuts of meat (chicken, pork, lamb, steak, etc.), New American-style small plates, seafood, soups, salads, and SO MUCH more! They have something for every type of palette, and this is why it’s called “The Family Table” - you can bring your family here and everyone will leave satisfied. We particularly loved the dry-aged grilled ribeye, maple pork chop, fried calamari, blackened shrimp, and lobster tiger rolls. I don’t even like pork chops very much because they’re normally very bland and dry (and just don’t taste that great), but I would willingly order that maple pork chop almost every time I come here - it’s THAT good. They have a really nice selection of small plates, so be sure to get a few and share with your table. And, you gotta get at least one pizza! Scrofae Pepe e Ciplolla, Tre Porcellini, Vermonter…you really can’t go wrong. If you have room, they supposedly have incredible desserts - we have family friends who have been here many times and always talk very highly of their desserts. I would imagine they would be VERY good. So check this place out next time you’re in this area of Vermont because you’ll not be disappointed!!
