Swyft & Ore Hill

$$$ Fodor's Choice

Swyft and Ore Hill are two restaurants in one, both located in the historic Swyft-Bull house, at Kent's center crossroads. Downstairs, Swyft takes on the character of an old New England tavern, with elevated comfort classics like a BLT, burgers, and Neapolitan pizza from a wood-burning oven, while upstairs, Ore Hill features a locally produced chef-driven prix-fixe menu partially sourced from their own Rock Cobble Farm. Each dish and drink is an experience, with five or seven courses, with or without drink pairings. Reservations are required at Ore Hill, but walk-ins are welcome at Swyft. The house is named for the families (one who built nearby Bull's Bridge) who occupied the home for more than 175 years.
