Assent 56 started with a simple conviction: the best meals come from the best ingredients, and the best ingredients come from the people who grow them. We built our kitchen around the farms and producers right here in Vermont.
Our dining room is where neighbors become friends over shared plates. It's where you come to slow down, savor, and leave feeling like you've been taken care of. That's not just our philosophy — it's our practice, every single evening.
We partner with over 15 local farms to source everything from vegetables to heritage meats.
Composting, nose-to-tail cooking, and creative reuse are part of how we operate.

"As someone who cares deeply about where my food comes from, this place gets it. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and you can tell there's real passion in the kitchen."
"We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and the team went above and beyond. The private dining space was perfect and every course was a hit. Truly memorable evening."
