Overpriced and they served us something uneatable.
We tried Hen of the Wood for the first time on my Birthday yesterday. We had already decided to get an app and the $100 Ribeye for two. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and it is popular so it is a bit loud. They keep the lighting very dim. We ordered the Stuffed Calamari small plate as an app, and the presentation made it look like a large green slug on a plate. The calamari was a bit rubbery, but the stuffing was literally uneatable. It was very bitter with no real flavor. We just said that we didn't care for it and they took it away. We just wanted the taste out of our mouths. The table next to us had the same reaction to it when they ordered it. When ordering, the $100 Ribeye for Two was now billed as a $110 Family Style Ribeye. Which was fine, prices change, but when it came out we were in shock. It was ten slices of Ribeye on a small plate, with some grilled greens, a mushroom, and a single piece of cauliflower. They claim it is 16oz but it couldn't have been more than 12oz, if that. One slice was 80% fat. The steak was cooked correctly and tasted good, but the portion, for the price, is not based in reality. It was barely a dinner for one for $110. We split the cauliflower piece between us. No starch or anything else on the plate. Granted, we left hungry due to the uneatable app and what turned out to be us splitting a dinner for one. They charge $8 for 4 dinner rolls, which we did not order, so we ate again when we got home since we had no other food. The bill was $150 for two drinks and the small steak, but at least they comped the app. We will never go there again.

In the off-season, we walked in midweek w/out reservations but snagged seats at the chef’s table. It was so worth it! A scrumptious dining experience w/out the pretensions was had. Order the oysters and add the “clear-your-sinuses” habanero vinegar served in a clever medicine dropper. By the six oyster, I had figured out just the correct amount to drop. Oh, the oysters were great also. You must try VT native cheese, any option will work. Wow! The blue cheese was so satisfyingly. And, the rolls w/ an accompaniment of honey butter was mouth watering. Fantastic service. Delicious grub. And, the vibe…I could go on and on. Happy dining!

We came here with family expecting an unusually good dining experience and walked away slightly disappointed. We found the menu selections to be somewhat limited and way over priced.The best appetizer was the dozen oysters on the half shell, while the duck confit was the most popular main dish. Service was sub par.

I does't get much better. Dinner experience of the year. The menu, the food, the service, the atmosphere. Hen of the wood fires on all cylinders. This is fine dining. The portions are fair. I encourage an appetizer, an entree, and dessert and you will not go home hungry, nor disappointed. Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Taste the food. Relax. The prices are fair for all the qualities that make fine dining, what fine dining should be. It's a long drive, I'll be back.

Oh No!!! There are only a couple restaurants that have reliably provided a nice couple’s night out in the Burlington area. All are overpriced for what you get relative to major cities, but there is a scarcity factor in Vermont to consider so it is what it is. Very concerned after a dinner here in mid-October that Hen may no longer be a reliable go-to. We’ve long been in the know that small plates>>large plates ordering is the way to go at this restaurant (fish large plate is usually solid, but meat preparation is often mediocre, oversalting makes pasta choices a hit or miss. However, the small plate menu appears to have converted to nearly eliminate protein (they used to reliably offer hen of the wood mushroom toast, a pate/terrine, fried oysters, maybe a quail or rabbit dish) and much of what remained was either squash (so much squash on the menu!!) or heavily pickled/sour veggie dishes. The pricing didn’t do mostly unappealing choices any favors. Almost $20 for a pickled cauliflower dish crossed a line and, while I’d gladly fork over $100 for a delicious ribeye entree for 2, you sadly aren’t going to get a delicious ribeye here. Nearly everything we ordered was dressed with too much vinegar, even as the menu didn’t always make this clear. The cocktails are terrific, the ambiance is cozy, the waitstaff is what you’re going to get from a Burlington-area waitstaff, but the price point is too high for this type of inconsistency and uneven food/menu. One highlight — a side dish of broccolini was $8 (less than half the cost of a ‘small plate’) yet it was not vinegared, offered in a similar portion, and delicious! Not sure if the overhaul of the small plate menu reflects inflation, change in chef or what, but that was the consistent appeal of coming here and I’ll be wary of returning anytime soon until it reverts.

We ordered the $100 steak and it was so tough we could barely get a fork into it. You had to saw the thing with a knife to cut a piece off! The table next to us ordered the same thing and we saw them sawing away to get pieces and chewing and chewing on each piece. We had three dinners in Burlington at top ranked restaurants and none of them would stay in business for long if they were in our hometown of San Francisco! I am not being snooty but my experience on a two-week-long trip in Vermont and New Hampshire has shown that the restaurants that get a five-star rating in this area would barely make it to three stars in New York City, San Francisco, Boston or other dining meccas. We spent $200 on a dinner at Hen of the woods and it wouldn't rate $50 in any of those towns.
Be the first to ReplyGreat overall dining experience!
What a cool experience. We were able to do the private table in the kitchen, had the best service and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend! You need to make a reservation to get into the restaurant. I think they start taking reservations 60 days out so plan ahead.

It was our anniversary which the hostess knew. It got us a tiny table between a support beam and a family with 2 children. It was very dark. On offer was a cranberry rubarb bread for $35 dollars! I had difficulty choosing something I wanted to eat. My husband did as well. I selected the only fish dish, halibut and my husband chose the hanger steak. Our dinners were good but not as advertised. His ‘squash’ was an unexpected puree. Overall, it was a disappointment. I would not return or recommend.

It might have been expensive, but you knew that going in. Dishes are small but very flavorful for the most part. Cocktails were excellent. Cheese dish, rolls and heirloom salad were great. Fluke crudo with cantaloupe was underwhelming. The Halibut could have been excellent, however it was under seasoned and needed more or the sweet corn puree despite being perfectly cooked. Service was good and well paced. A few missteps keep this from being a 5 star restaurant.
Be the first to Replyget some cheese and wine, skip the entrees. Cozy vibe!
Gosh. I was disappointed in the food, but the vibe was lovely. Service was excellent even though the meal was a total wash. Good drinks, nice rolls, awesome vanilla pound cake. Super dry fish and ho-hum sides. If I return I'd get cheese and cocktails. Period.
