Hen of the Wood - Waterbury

The Best Restaurants in Burlington, Vermont | Eater Boston

"The Burlington location of chef Eric Warnstedt’s acclaimed restaurant opened in 2013, eight years after the original Waterbury location. Warnstedt is a six-time James Beard Award semifinalist and two-time nominee for Best Chef: Northeast, and Hen of the Wood still impresses with a daily menu driven by the restaurant’s relationship with some of the state’s most beloved farmers, cheesemakers, and brewers. Snag a seat at the chef’s counter, enjoy Jasper Hill Farm cheese and the restaurant’s eponymous mushroom toast, and watch as the team fires rib-eye steaks. The bar, with its craft cocktails, is a destination in its own right." - Anna Darrow
