This restaurant is small but mighty. One of the best meals I have had, not just recently but overall. Service was exacting. Ambience was just right. Meal done to perfection. Nice wine selection. It only accomodates about 40 people, so make sure to book well in advance. I would go out of my way if I was in the neighborhood... More

Heard a lot about Peter Haven from locals and this was a first visit. Came with a large group so food took a while (expected when food is great). Overall, my meal was great (trout and shared dessert; chocolate torte is the best dessert there). Average price is about $30 for an entree; customer service was superb. Peter Haven is... More

I've been eating at Peter Havens for years, and am in agreement with the vast majority of comments on here, that it is simply one of the best restaurants anywhere. Still, I think a lot of people are aware that the restaurant recently changed hands, and for many I'm sure they're wondering if this means a change in what one... More

Still one of the best restaurants around. Was somewhat cautious to go with Tom not working the room anymore but the food is still phenomenal and the atmosphere lively and exciting. The new Management really did the heavy lifting to ensure the transition was smooth and no drop off in quality or efficiency was lost. Only complaint was the loss... More

We have been dining at Peter Havens for many years, especially during our annual visit to family in Brattleboro at Christmas. The food was always exceptional and the ambiance perfect. Tom, the previous owner, also made the experience special. in February we had an opportunity to eat at Peter Havens for the first time, under new owner and chef. We... More

crowded and noisy, food OK, nothing great, I went there for my birthday and our table was tightly squeezed to next table, it just wasn't as special as I wanted it to be.

My friend and I enjoy eating at the bar if there is one at a restaurant. We enjoy meeting other people. We had a delicious dinner...loved the mussels and duck but we also met some great people. You must get there early to get a seat at the bar. I have been to Peter Havens twice and it just gets... More

Reservations are recommended, but if they are full, don't give up. There maybe empty seats at the bar. The municipal parking lot is across the street from the restaurant. It did take us two attempts to find the building. The sign on the restaurant facade is not obvious. We had the special, venison medallions. Delicious. The owners must be doing... More

We have really great friends who live in Brattleboro - whom we try to visit at least a couple times a year. Their favorite place in town has always been Peter Havens and I think they could be called "regulars." So when we visited this past weekend it was no surprize they suggested we go there. We were interested to... More
