I absolutely love the head of the wood... I've had a lot of meals here but nothing beats the duck…read more Cooked perfectly. We paired it with a side of skate cheeks and roasted carrots. Absolutely delicious!. For dessert I had some Indian pudding. It was the best I've ever had. Just couldn't get enough. High-end dining with a high-end price but you get great food, great drinks and wonderful atmosphere.

Great service . Our sever has been there for many years and was very helpful and patient while we…read moredecided on our picks Ordered maple sour drink which turned out to be too sour that the bartender replaced it with a fresh one which was less sour . Hen of the wood mushroom toast with bacon had roasted mushroom which was chewy, earthy and had a unique texture and flavor . Fried green tomatoes had an eggy coating and the smell was off putting for us . They took it back and didn't charge us for it . Beet salad with yellow beets was refreshing start to our meal For entree we picked Scallops with a piperade was a fresh take on seafood Ricotta Agnolotti in a cherry tomato confit was comforting and delicious Blistered Shishito peppers was a delightful side Grilled zucchini was even better Dessert was Honey almond cake with peach jam pickled peaches n honey almonds . A one of a kind treat Home made Honey lavender gelato was special Large dining area kitchen was in the middle of the restaurant- inviting bar as you walk in . Jennie the Wood was a one of a kind experience .

Tried this place out for dinner on a Thursday evening. They close a little early at 7pm so we got…read morethere around 5:45pm. Parking in the lot was easy. Workers were very friendly and welcoming inside. The inside had some bar seating and some table seating with someone playing piano. The menu has a variety of different sandwiches. I started with a hot chocolate and the elote dip. Hot chocolate was nothing special but was good on a cold day. The elote dip was delicious! Warm and cheesy! Yum! I then ordered the falafel pita. It wasn't my favorite. The falafel was crisp but I didn't love the homemade gluten free pita. It was not fluffy and was just kinda bland. The fries were made well! Thick and very crispy. Overall the atmosphere was nice.

If you looked through my reviews you would notice I am a fan of craft breweries, my wife is as…read morewell! So while on a trip and looking for a spot to grab some lunch naturally we ended up picking this spot. I've been aware of Lost Nation Brewing but it's been since 2016/2017 when I had a beer from them last. To start they have ample parking and have a nicely painted mural on the side of their building. They have an indoor section we did not check that out and instead sat at the bar in the outdoor section. How can you pass up looking into the kitchen and also the wafting scents of burgers, fries and everything else being cooked. Despite a chillier day than most we have had lately it was worth it! Besides their own brews they had guest taps, guest botttles/cans, and even some cocktails including some spiked apple cider for that fall feeling drink. For beer fans they even had a rotating Hillfarmstead DIPA for a guest tap. I ended up getting their Kolsch and my wife got their gose. Both very solid beers and worth grabbing. Food wise they had a couple burgers, fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork, turkey sandwich, hot dogs, and some small plates. My wife ended up choosing the burger and I got their fried chicken sandwich. She enjoyed the burger and thought it was cooked very well. The chicken sandwich was delicious, the fact it was smothered in honey did make it a bit messy to eat but tasted so good! The fries we got were massive and well seasoned and the side of pickles were great too. Would be a no brainer to get either one again if we visit again! Bartender was friendly and we didn't wait long at all for the drinks or food! Well made brews paired along side delicious food, really what more could you ask for? If you visit during warmer weather it appeared they have a huge outdoor area further back than we were in as well! If you like visiting breweries add this to your list to check out!

RIght in the center of Burlington you will find beautiful Church Street Marketplace. The…read moremarketplace is a pedestrian zone that spans a few blocks and is filled with shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's very pleasant to stroll along Church Street, especially in the summertime and there are plenty of benches where you can sit and people watch. Church Street Marketplace has a mixture of chain and local stores. You can find everything from used books, to outdoor gear to name brand clothing. My favorite stores at Golden Hour where you can find lots of cute gifts, Smugglers Notch Distillery where you can sample delicious vodka, gin, bourbon, and maple liqueur, and Flora & Fauna - a second floor store filled with curiosities and oddities. Unfortunately, The 10,000 Villages store that I always enjoyed visiting, the Sox Market, and the Earthbound Store that I always found beautiful clothing in have all closed. There's also a great Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop on Church Street, several restaurants in a range of price levels, and some very comfortable cafes. Definitely a place you will want to spend some time visiting when you are in Burlington.

Alongside some of the popular restaurants, they also have iconic Vermont brand stores like Vermont Bear Factory, Vermont Flannel Shop and Ben & Jerry. We also visited a Patagonia store, a bookstore, Catamount store for apparel and gifts, and bunch of other stores. Prices are decent, some stores have sales and discounts. It appeared decently safe, though there were some homeless people around the marketplace. The street parkings need to be paid with ParkMobile app during the posted hours. There are several hotels only few minutes walk from this place. There's also a parking lot nearby that offers 2 hours of free parking.
