Vermont:

Barnard Inn
Simon Pearce (Quechee)
Prince & the Pauper (Woodstock)
Hemingway's (near Killington)
Panache (Killington)

(all of the above are from the limited area of Vermont I'm familiar with)

Boston:

Olives
L'Espalier
Icarus
Biba
Pignoli
Mamma Maria
Chez Henri
Elephant Walk
Dali/Tapeo (same menu)
Ajourd'hui
Hammersley's Bistro

...there's more, and it depends on what you're looking for -- all of the above are "whole package" restaurants, but if you're only interested in the food then there's a handful of Chinatown places that would fit the bill as well.

Vermont:

Montpelier (The Quaint Capital):  Chef's Table, Main Street Grill, La Brioche, all run by The New England Culinary Institute (NECI). If you like compact discs, check out Buch Spieler, on Langdon Street. To view the local "marpie" (middle aged rural professionals) crowd, and eat good Italian food, try Sarducci's.

South Burlington: Al's French Fries. But beware, girl! Legend has it that Babe Ruth ate there, and commented, "Women are so frail, it would kill them to eat there on a regular basis."

Have fun.
