Hen Of The Wood Waterbury

Love the atmosphere! Bartender is great! Phenomenal meal and service! This is for Burlington.

I tried unsuccessfully on several previous visits to Vermont to get reservations at Hen of the Woods. This time, we planned ahead for our party of 6, attracted by the rave reviews. Our high expectations were met with disappointment. None of us, foodies all, were blown away by the presentation, or creativity, or ambiance. The steak was cold, the polenta was soupy, the service lackluster and inattentive. There is better and less expensive food to be had, as we did experience at Jessica's in Middlebury, Leunig's in Burlington, and the Black Sheep Bistro in Vergennes.

My family and I come on special occasions! We have eaten here since they opened! This occasion was our 27th Anniversary! Duck and hanger steak! PERFECTION! Timothy our server was fabulous! Food was pure perfection! We ordered one dessert and they brought the dessert and maple ice cream as a treat! I look forward to the next 27 years of eating at Hen of the Wood! For anyone who has never eaten here...PLEASE go! It's worth every penny! Dietary restrictions: Servers have always asked ne what they csn do to work with my diet! Thank you!

What an amazing culinary experience! Everything was unique and enjoyable. All simple dishes elevated in a way that that they unforgettable. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to get a seat at the bar. Conveniently they keep a waitlist for bar seating so that helped. It was worth the wait, but if you want a table make a reservation. The bar tender was very kind and did a great job making drinks and interacting with clients. Would definitely recommend this place if you are anywhere in the area.
