Michael's on the Hill is fabulous, so you definitely can't go wrong there. I've heard wonderful things about Philo Ridge Farm, which is very much farm-to-table. The restaurant at Shelburne Farms is also quite good!

Philo Ridge is indeed wonderful; their dinner menu ran $65pp last summer (app/main/dessert).

Checking out all three in detail. Many thanks. Philo Ridge looks gorgeous, and at least or two others have mentioned Shelburne Farms.

You can't get a meal at Michaels on the hill for $25 though. That place is 16 apps and 40 entees. It is worth every penny, just not in the $25 budget.

I think OP was referring to 25 people, not a $25 budget.

Ohh, I misread that. I thought he was looking for ~(roughly) 25 per plate. Woops.

Oops sorry, I meant 25 people.
