About us Mara harbored the dream of experiencing the autumn foliage of New England for as long as she could remember, but life always seemed to get in the way. It wasn’t until the fall of 2007 that she decided she couldn’t wait to fulfill her dream any longer. She and her cousin signed up for a bicycle trip through Vermont. Somewhere along the way, as Mara was resting and enjoying the scenery, she was overtaken with the awe and tranquility the landscape inspired, and she boldly proclaimed, “I’m going to live here someday.”

A Worldly Dining Experience at Woodstock's Lincoln Inn

The following story requires a disclaimer: The dishes described therein will probably never exist again. I ate them and they are gone. Chef Jevgenija Saromova has since moved on to new creations. And that's one of the reasons to love the remade Lincoln Inn & Restaurant at the Covered Bridge in Woodstock. An artist in heart and temperament, Saromova says she would be bored if she didn't overhaul her menu every single day.

Alas for those diners who will never enjoy, as I did, the pile of pulled-duck confit and fork-tender smoked breast served with an artfully layered press of paper-thin apple and celeriac. Nor will they experience an earthy cake of lentils and barley that whisper of Saromova's Latvian origin, contrasted with a sweet plate full of blackberries and a wreath of shaved plum.

But future diners at the Lincoln Inn have a consolation: They'll get to eat whatever strikes Saromova's fancy next.

Saromova arrived in Vermont from England this past September 11. Sixteen days later, she and innkeeper Mara Mehlman opened the restaurant at the Lincoln Inn, formerly home to Mangowood Restaurant. Their concept is new to Vermont: "In England, it's called a 'restaurant with rooms,'" explains Mehlman. "They're award-winning boutique places with Michelin-starred restaurants. People go to stay there for the food."

Saromova is well versed in that English restaurant model: She has been sous-chef at the Michelin-starred Yorke Arms in Yorkshire, which bills itself as "one of the UK's leading Restaurant with Rooms." Her first executive chef position brought her to another restaurant on the same model — No. 5 Restaurant at North Yorkshire's Grassington House Hotel — which she left to join Mehlman in Woodstock.

Before landing in the UK, Saromova cooked in her native Latvia, as well as in Italy and southern France. Her dinners have a classic French bent both in technique and formality. At the Lincoln Inn, meals are five-course prix-fixes, a relative bargain at $55. There is only one seating, at 7 p.m.

Though the restaurant can seat 63 people, Saromova insisted that she serve no more than 26 each night, to guarantee the perfection of every plate. "I want everybody getting their plates together. Maybe even talking with other people about the experience they're getting," the chef elucidates. While diners get cozy, Saromova chooses to work alone in the inn's large kitchen.

Guests can heighten their camaraderie with a predinner stop in the inn's front tavern, styled to look like a spot where the Green Mountain Boys would have been comfortable throwing back a few. By contrast, the gilded dining room would probably just have made the Allen boys uncomfortable.

Ethan and Ira might have been nonplussed by the amuse-bouche served at the dinner I attended, too. Instead of the single bite one might expect, each diner received a piece of pressed terrine striped with slices of tomato, red beet and fresh basil, accompanied by a barely sweet scoop of basil ice cream. It was a taste of summer that paired strangely with the snowy view outside, but was no less refreshing for that.

The amuse-bouche was a deviation from Saromova's usual pattern of using only the freshest seasonal ingredients. She does everything from scratch, including taking apart whole squashes instead of buying the precut pieces her supplier suggests. Two different petite dinner rolls emerge from her oven each night, served with melty, homemade compound butters. The night I dined at the inn, chive butter made the warm rolls — one wheat, one white — taste like steak frites.

In England, Saromova recalls, "Somebody would knock on the door of the kitchen and bring me pheasant or rabbit that's still warm." It's been a challenge to find game suppliers in the Upper Valley, but Saromova has established relationships with local meat farmers so she can meet and inspect their animals before slaughter.

Saromova is still debating whether she'll raise her own chickens for the restaurant, but she has definite plans to build a greenhouse and start plants there when the snow melts. In addition to basic herbs and greens, the chef envisions stocking her garden with unusual veggies. "I don't like the big [American] cucumbers," she complains. "They're not tasteful. The cucumbers from Russia, from Latvia, they're small and just full of taste."

New England's Hidden Culinary Gem Is A Food Lover's Destination

I’ve lived in Vermont for over 20 years, and while there are some great places to eat in the Green Mountain State, I’ve never seen anything quite like the restaurant at the Lincoln Inn in Woodstock. Well, not here at least - I’ve seen plenty of similar concepts but they’ve mostly been in Europe.

“We call these gastronomic destinations, or ‘Restaurants with rooms.’ It’s an accepted concept in the United Kingdom, you go someplace to have a special dining experience and then you stay there, enjoy it and don’t have to drive. We’re trying to bring that here,” said Chef Jevgenija Saromova, who speaks from personal experience - she’s a veteran of Michelin-starred eateries in the United Kingdom, most recently the 2-star Yorke Arms (with lodging) in England, and she relocated to Vermont just a couple of years ago.

Several renowned European chefs including Alain Ducasse, Raymond Blanc, Ferran Adria and most recently Gordon Ramsay have their own hotels to accommodate diners after lengthy (and often exhausting) tasting menus, usually accompanied by wine pairings. Our country also has a handful of hotels or resorts that are as famous or more famous for their food than lodging, such as the White Barn Inn (Maine), Blackberry Farm (Tennessee), and Inn at Little Washington (Virginia). But it is a novel concept in Woodstock, or anyplace in Vermont, to have a restaurant with no a la carte menu - ever- that only features dinners with 4, 7 or 12 courses of chef’s choices (Vermont’s famed Forbes 5-star luxury boutique hotel Twin Farms, which you can read about here, also features only set menus, but it is all-inclusive and not open to outside guests).

Chef Saramova and her partner wanted to replicate the European model she was familiar with, and after searching, they found their venue. The Lincoln Inn has been an upscale fixture in Woodstock, Vermont’s highest profile tourist town and home to the state’s only National Park, for years - Paul Newman was a longtime regular whose private dining room is now used by guests to enjoy Saramova’s lavish meals. But it is completely different under the new ownership.

Lincoln Inn emerges as Vermont’s gourmet destination

The Lincoln Inn in Woodstock is among the most European of the little inns in Vermont, and not just because chef Jevgenija Saromova hails from Latvia. She and innkeeper partner Mara Mehlman describe the property as a “restaurant with rooms.” That’s a model common in the European countryside, and often signals great dining. Think, for example, of Maison Troisgros, one of the pioneers of modern French cuisine.

Woodstock isn’t Roanne, of course, and Jevgenija Saromova (or Chef Saromova, as she prefers) isn’t Jean or Pierre Troisgros. Not yet, anyway. But she has impressive classical culinary credentials and a personal style unique in northern New England. She worked in top restaurants in Italy, France, and England before joining Mehlman in Vermont. The two women have applied the model of the French “auberge” to an 1875 farmhouse with six charming, carefully decorated rooms and green lawns that roll down to the Ottauquechee River.

Innkeeper Mara Mehlman of the Lincoln Inn in Woodstock, Vermont A native Californian, Mara first dreamed of living in Vermont when she took a Vermont foliage bicycle tour. Years later, she purchased the property, thoroughly renovated the building, and re-opened the inn rooms in July 2014. It became a gastronomic destination when Chef Saromova arrived from England a few months later. The women clearly love Vermont - skiing in the winter, kayaking in the summer—but they have no intention of replicating traditional New England fare.

“We’re not about maple syrup and cheddar cheese,” says Mara. “This is fine dining.”

Chef Saromova explains. “I don’t like boring food plates,” she says. “I like to combine textures and flavors.”

The Chef’s Table at the Lincoln Inn & Restaurant At The Covered Bridge

The Lincoln Inn & Restaurant warmly welcomes you to enjoy a unique and exclusive culinary experience at our Chef’s Table, located in a special private dining area. Our Chef’s Table offers an intimate atmosphere for your choice of a 7 or 12 course chef tasting menu prepared by our European Michelin Star trained chef, Jevgenija Saromova. Jevgenija will make appearances throughout the evening to engage with her guests and to share what inspired her to create the different courses.

The private dining area was created for actor and philanthropist Paul Newman. Mr. Newman and his family enjoyed vacationing at the Lincoln Inn and dining at the restaurant in the evening. Because he was a man who valued his privacy, one of the past owners turned an outdoor porch into an enclosed dining room for him. Our private dining area offers all of the elegance of the main dining room, but with the added privacy of a retreat-within-a-retreat.

The Restaurant schedules one seating per night . The menu changes each day to reflect the seasons and to ensure the use of only fresh, local ingredients.

Lincoln Restaurants Redefines Experience of 12 Course Chef Tasting Menu

The produce is always plentiful at Lincoln Inn and Restaurant. Just walking into the sleek, ultra chic restaurant in Lincoln has been enough to take your breath away. Lincoln Inn exuding retro-style and sophistication is the perfect venue to entertain family, friends or colleagues. Those looking for a romantic night out are never disappointed as the airy dining space offers plenty of room for more intimate meals, and the weather offers stunning views across the city.

Lincoln Inn is a community place that is approachable. The special occasions are celebrated with great élan and they have a liquor license for both inside and outside.

The menu at Lincoln restaurants redefines the experience of 12 course chef's tasting menu. It lives up to the expectations created by the elegant interior, and diners can choose from a range of classically inspired dishes with surprising twists. The a la carte menu begins with a selection of tantalizing starters.

“You eat with your eyes first,” chef Saramova said. “After that comes the smell of the meal, and then the taste.”

Chef Saromova clearly favors creamy desserts. The chocolate Delice - essentially a chocolate terrine with cookie crumb base and chocolate icing is the ostensible star of this plate. The “bars” are a champagne and strawberry terrine. The flavor favors the wine over the fruit. By contrast, the strawberry sorbet tastes more intensely of strawberry than most fresh strawberries do. Capping it all off, the sweetened vanilla yogurt has a skin that makes it explode in the mouth.

Chef Jevgenija Saromova of the Lincoln Inn in Woodstock, spent nearly two decades as a member or leader of a kitchen brigade, but she works alone in the Lincoln Inn kitchen. Every dish is created to her taste and executed precisely as she envisions it. In effect, every diner gets the personal attention of the master chef. During most of the year, the restaurant serves a four-course prix fixe dinner Thursday through Sunday, with a more casual tavern night on Wednesdays. During foliage season, nights for dinner increase and tavern night goes on hiatus. The four-course meals are gourmet pleasures. The menu changes daily. True to Chef Saromova’s word, it’s anything but boring.

About Lincoln Inn: The Lincoln Inn & Restaurant is a quaint six bedroom b&b full of history and style. It’s owned and operated by Mara Mehlman, a lovely woman with a ton of personality and passion for hospitality. Her partner and Executive Chef, Jevgenija Saromova is the culinary artist and master behind the exquisite menu. Chef, Jevgenija is a one of a kind, Michelin Star trained chef that will wow you with her creative, locally sourced, and globally inspired menu.
