Patty Melt (8/10): I think Sundays are their patty melt days? Very good deal. Basically the…read morecheapest thing on their menu for a very solid patty melt. Pappardelle (8.5/10): The sauce was DIVINE! The texture of the noodles was a tiny bit off, but otherwise the meat and veggies were both amazing. Grilled Summer Squash (7/10): Solid and refreshing dish. Tempura Mushrooms (7/10): Executed well. Tastes exactly as you expect, though. No surprises here. I would opt for the more unique options next time Pork Belly Skewer (7.5/10): Also executed well. Also tastes pretty standard. I did like the sauce. There was a lot of it, but it wasn't too overpowering.

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. I tried several dishes, but the standouts were the oysters and the halibut. The oysters were served with freshly shaved horseradish and a delicious mango habanero oil that added the perfect kick. 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.

First impression, very nice inside. Kind of formal but comfortable…read more Service was very good. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. For us, the food is where we lost it. We ordered the rolls, tuna crudo, oysters, tagliatelle (2 orders) and a fish dish. Only the one fish dish was good. Everything else was fresh but not at all to our taste. Because the food was fresh, we rated it a 3 to be fair. Obviously a lot of people like it, so maybe check some of my other local reviews to see if our taste aligns, but I would not go here again. Not to mention that it was very expensive. For the above with a couple drinks was $315 including tip. And the portions are fairly small, so come hungry, leave broke and still hungry.

This was our first visit to the Farmhouse. It was an exceptional dining experience. Though the main…read moreroom was large and seemed loud at first, it quickly become an enjoyable night out. This was mainly due to the great service and delicious meals ordered by each of us in our family of three. Our table was never left waiting and the food was served hot. Our meal choices were varied, including apps such as steak tartar and cheddar ale soup for one and the meatloaf plate and the turkey burger for the others. Everything was made with original flavor additions such as homemade sauces, fresh breads, and unique use of herbs and spices. Lastly, I was told to mention that the hand cut fries were exceptional. Since we visit Burlington often, we look forward to returning to the Farmhouse to try other dishes on their menu or just ordering the same meals since they were so good. We all agreed that this restaurant has definately moved to the top of the list for our next trip to Vt.

The last time my bf and I went we ordered a special which was Dan Dan noodles with pork, the cheeseburger, and burrata with bruschetta to start. All of the food was full of flavor and fair portion size. Restaurant poco does not take reservations in advance. It's easier to get a seat in spring summer or fall when they open up their outdoor seating and so can host more guests. You have to go to put your name on the wait list regardless of the season and even in summertime with more seating it can be a 20-40min wait. They play good funky music which can sometimes be overwhelmingly loud inside (I.e. a jock jam will be playing at club volume level), that's one of my few complaints. You can be at a two person table and only a few feet away from your dinner date but not always hear them. This happens mostly just during the winter. Outdoor seating is nice with outdoor lights and easy to see and hear whomever you're dining with. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone as they always have great tasting food and good drinks. A little on the pricier side, but worth it.

Not the largest in quantity, but the tastiest. Pork Bolognese ($19) came with hand rolled pasta in a creamy tomato sauce with ground pork.

Overall, not a bad choice for Burlington. Prices as expected compared to other spots in the area.

It was also very reasonably priced for craft beer. For dinner I had the special which was a hot honey chicken sandwich that had goat cheese and string onions, served with a side salad with house vinaigrette and a side of ranch. 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! Side note: the women's restroom was very clean and had locally made soap that smelt so nice which was a nice touch.
