Our server was really kind and helpful, giving some great recommendations for drinks. We ordered the cheese plate and I got a local cider, and Nate got "Vermont's most popular beer" according to our server. The cheese plate was a generous portion of three different cheeses, along with plenty of bread, some fruit preserves, and some honey on the plate. I would have preferred the honey in its own container vs. just on the plate, but it was easy enough to avoid. The cheeses were all delicious, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I really enjoyed my cider, which was a bit sweet. The menu sounds really great here, and I'm sure we'll be back the next time we're in town.

They were super helpful in helping sneak in cupcakes for my bosses birthday surprise, and served those alongside the cheesecake. I'd definitely book another event there in the future.

We started with the cheese and realized you had to buy the meat separately so we got the prosciutto added on. It was a nice helping of meat. 2 triangles of cheese. 3 slices of bread that came with it. I asked if the "ham plate" was big because I wasn't wanting something big. Our waitress said it was a small plate of ham. I guess I was expecting a ham slice I'm not sure but out came a large plate of shaved ham with (mid) cheese on top. My husband ordered the beet salad and that wasn't anything to rave about. He also got the bread and butter (12!!) and the bread was super hard. Almost cuts your mouth chewing it. I found myself chewing a lot. The bill was exceptionally high granted we didn't order hot food at all.

I looked at the menu for American Flatbread online and their salads sounded delicious! It was hard to choose but I went with their kale caesar salad. It was easy to place an order for pickup right from their website. Once it was ready, Nate walked over and picked it up. The salad was packaged nicely and easy to mix up with the dressing. They included utensils and napkins, which was appreciated. The salad was delicious and one of the best kale caesar salads I've had recently. The dressing was thick and coated the kale really well, and I liked that it was a baby kale versus a hardier curly kale. The lemon was a nice touch and added some brightness, and the cheese was salty and perfect. The portion size was great too, and a good amount to split for a snack. I have bumped this spot up on my list for when we come back!

They offer an oyster hour from 4-5 p.m. with half-priced oysters and cheeseboards, making it a great time to visit. As a farm-to-table restaurant, everything tasted incredibly fresh.

The halibut was beautifully seared, flaky, and fresh. I'd highly recommend making a reservation. I visited on a Monday night, and the restaurant was completely full. I'll definitely be back.

The ambiance is cozy and some dishes were fantastic- the cocktails, Parker house rolls, hanger steak, and acorn squash were absolutely delicious. The misses: chicories- hardly any on the plate! It was primarily a kale salad with watery dressing, the tuna crudo was bland, and the pork came out practically raw and cold. The server explained when we ordered that the pork is supposedly slow roasted but when it came it was very raw. Even after I sent back to cook longer, it was inedible and unappetizing. The spacing between plates was so slow and the service was patronizing. It seemed like our server just assumed we were college students, when we are far from it, and spoke down to us throughout the meal.

The server did warn me, and it was written on the menu too, that the hot honey was quite spicy, and indeed it was! I was sweating from the spice, but it was good! The ranch on the side was nice to cool it down a bit. Good service, good food, but would honestly go back for just the beer!

A sister restaurant to Foam Brewers!…read more We spent a weekend in Burlington, VT visiting breweries, wine bars, a comedy show, eating, shopping and it was wonderful. Deep City was a recommendation for brunch from a local. It is the sister restaurant to Foam Brewers (right next door). When we walked in there was a small wait but not bad. We headed over to the brewery to grab coffee and to check it out. It is definitely a cool spot. They have a huge selection of beer, a small wine program (who knew) and small bites. Unfortunately they did not have TVs or else we would've come back to watch the football game but we did purchase some beer before heading back over for brunch at Deep City. The menu here is a little more Mexican-forward think Huevos Rancheros, but there was still plenty of items that looked appealing. We split the banana bread with maple walnut cream cheese (to die for) to share as an app which was fresh and delicious. I also ordered a fruit cup which was also good. We then shared their Huevos Verdes which is similar to Huevos Rancheros except it came with a tomatillo salsa. It was good but very sloppy to eat. Overall it was a great experience, and service was phenomenal. A great brunch place while visiting Burlington VT.

We had the Margherita, Capricciosa, Caesar salad, and the Nutella pizza and flourless cake for dessert. Kids devoured their Margherita slices and we really enjoyed the acidic, salty, roasted, crusty, chewy, fluffy, perfectly balanced notes of the artichoke, olive, tomato, and cheese Capriciossa. I know Caesar is a boring choice but sometimes the stomach wants what it wants, and this one was worth noting; I especially enjoyed the little nub of chewy pizza dough bread with it. I got it anchovy-less, because I don't love crunching on the little dudes, personally. Accessible entrance for wheels is around the back via a ramp in the alley--there's a doorbell for entry. They provided crayons and a coloring sheet for kids which always wins me over instantly, and were highly aware and educated around food allergies and their menu. 5/5 and an easy recommendation all around.

It didn't take long to identify the state's core competencies: Producing world-class cheese Perfecting brick oven pizza Aggressively curating a very specific political vibe Curiously, only two of those things are edible, and unfortunately, you can't get pizza without being reminded of the third. Also worth noting: I'm not convinced any other style of pizza exists in Vermont. If it's not artisanal, wood-fired, and served on a reclaimed barn board, it apparently doesn't make the cut. So naturally, my brain locked in and I ate pizza two nights in a row like a creature of habit. Night 1: Pizzeria Verità Parking was...aspirationally convenient. After navigating downtown Burlington, which feels like a live-action sociology thesis, I made it inside. Let's address the elephant in the room: the price. With tip, I dropped nearly $30 for what amounted to a personal-sized pepperoni pizza that politely declined to fill me up. I assume part of the cost goes toward sourcing ethically massaged tomatoes or ensuring the mozzarella had a fulfilling upbringing. Now, to be fair, the pizza was excellent. Truly. Great crust, quality ingredients, clearly crafted by someone who cares deeply about their art. But the value? That's where things get a little...Vermont. Delicious? Absolutely. Filling? Not quite. Financially efficient? Only if you measure wealth in vibes. I went in skeptical, left impressed, and still had to consider a second dinner.
