Warm and welcoming, very comfortable atmosphere.  The food is of the highest possible quality and is consistently made to perfection.  This time, I ordered the duck.  It was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten.........ANYWHERE!  My sister had the schnitzel.........AGAIN.  It's outrageous!  The menu is diversified and the servers all hold the bar very high in what they do.   Melody and Chef Mark have created a diamond in Manchester, Vermont!  An absolute must if you are in the area.

Located in a beautifully converted library, The Silver Fork is a great spot for excellent cocktails, a creative menu, and wonderful atmosphere. The Duck eggrolls were a standout, though the lamb and schnitzel main courses were also excellent. DO NOT MISS the bread pudding! I will be thinking about that dessert for a long time to come!

This has to be the best restaurant in Vermont. My husband and I truly had the best meal and the best cider I’ve ever had. We had such a warm welcome from Melody herself and we loved the explanation of the eclectic menu. Seriously — thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Luckily Melody the owner sat me without a reservation. Steven the server, was knowledgeable  friendly and helpful! I ordered the three cheese onion soup, the caramelized smoked salmon and mango with cucumber and avocado and my main dish was slow roasted brisket with spaetzle and horseradish cream. The cheese and the onion soup was to die for. The caramelized smoked salmon was the best salmon I ever tasted in my life, the mango, cucumber and avocado just highlighted it. The slow roasted brisket with spaetzle and horseradish cream was the topper, the beef was so moist and tender and melt in your mouth, the homemade spaetzle was delicious and I fell in love with the horseradish cream! I highly recommend The Silver Fork and I also recommend making reservations. 5 star *****

This restaurant has been on my list since my last visit to Manchester about a year ago. Please note that my reviews are weighted based on the type, price, etc.

First of all, the atmosphere and concept is wicked cool!  Old converted library...love it!

We sat in the upstairs bar area which seemed to have a bit different vibe from the main floor but still loved the room. Sitting at the bar is clearly very popular.

We started with some cocktails from the menu...I had the VT old fashion and it was really good with nice combo of vanilla bitters / VT maple syrup.

Moving to the apps, we had focaccia (tapenade was outstanding - this is a must have), tuna carpaccio, and roasted pear. The tuna was very nice with capers and white onion but the onion overpowered it a bit imho.  The pear with goat cheese had really nice blended flavors...the pear was a bit firm and more goat cheese would've been great but it is another must have. Solid starters.

For dinner we had mofongo, mahi mahi, and wienerschinitzel.  The presentation for the monfongo was outstanding and the flavors were excellent. The mahi mahi was solid.  The wienerschinitzel and German potato salad was absolutely traditional and clearly a signature dish with nice presentation on a plank. It was very good and while I know it is not traditional, I would have loved a bit of Jager sauce (or even better, some lingonberry jam) again imho.

We did order dessert with dinner (takes 30 minutes to prepare) to try the bread pudding and it was definitely worth it.  Very good flavor but would've loved a bit more of the cream mainly because it was so good!

Everyone there is really nice and extremely friendly. We had a visit from Melody (owner) which to me is always a huge plus for a restaurant like this.  Thank you Melody!

Overall, eclectic menu ranging from German to Puerto Rican which clearly highlights the chef's experiences.  My scores for food and service are based on similar dining experiences. If in Manchester and you want a fine dining experience in a really cool atmosphere, this is your place! Oh and great touch having the bill in a book 😀
