After checking numerous reviews and website menus, It appeared to me that Twisted Carrot was one of…read morethe most interesting restaurants in the area, in terms of menu and atmosphere. My dinner experience there certainly lived up to expectations. The restaurant is small, seating maybe about 30 people. I wouldn't call it intimate, but I would call it friendly. The menu items are enjoyably named, with some interesting ingredient and flavor combinations. Service is fast and friendly; 3 servers can take care of all the tables quite nicely, with time for fun conversation as you go. The cocktail list is small, and the drinks are simply garnished, but everything we tried was quite flavorful and reasonably priced. As an appetizer, the Moo Moo Dippers, filled with shaved ribeye and corned beef and combined with the remoulade sauce for dipping. were addicting. My salmon filet came atop a bed of roasted sweet potato and corn hash and a sauce on top to give it more interesting presentation and flavor. The pork medallions were similarly appealing. We passed on dessert, because most of the offerings had some form of caffeine in them (e.g., boozy affogato), but I'm certain they would have been equally delicious. I was surprised the restaurant closed so early on days they're actually open, i.e., 8pm. So if you want convenient dining, get there early for dinner, because it does fill up.

We got three wraps- Caesar- amazing Greca- good Pesto- not so good Caesar wrap was the best tasting. I'd go back just for that! It was also huge! Greek style wrap was tasty, but not as good as the Caesar. Husband got the pesto wrap and he was disappointed. It didn't taste like pesto at all. It was pretty much just filled with quinoa or hemp (we couldn't figure out what the taste was) but it really wasn't that pesto flavor at all. Disappointing because it was pricey. I understand that good quality food is expensive and we're willing to pay for it if it's good. We also got two of the cacao peanut butter balls that were in containers in front and they were tasty. I'd recommend this place if you want to be full and not feel bad about what you ate! I'd suggest a better rewards system for returning customers because eating like that is not affordable for someone like me. Unfortunately the first time I ordered they didn't ask if I wanted to sign up for rewards and I spent nearly $70 so I guess I lost those points? Regardless, the best option for quick and healthy food in the area!!!

Heading to Burlington, VT for a weekend get away. Left early and stopped here on the way. We were…read moreable to put in a mobile order so upon arrival our food was ready and still hot! My wife and I were able to work inside the restaurant while enjoying relaxing music and sipping out coffee. I got an americano with 2 shots of espresso and my wife got oat milk latte with VT maple syrup- both of them were tasty! Def recommend stopping in, a lot of gluten free options and many organic option as well- def recommend stopping in!

It's just average but there are reasons I keep coming back, the main one being that it's pretty…read moremuch the only sit-down casual dining place nearby. But I like the atmosphere too, always filled with locals: workers on lunch break, people gathered to play trivia in the evening (sadly not in summer though). Service is always good, people are friendly, and the outdoors-themed decor is quirky and dominated by an oversized model rifle over the bar. The open room with the bar in the center means you can enjoy the ambience wherever you sit. The place feels clean, including the bathrooms which are single-use, gender-neutral with changing tables. The pub-style menu is heavy on burgers, wings, and pizzas. Also nachos, salads, fish&chips, shepherd's pie, pastas, and more. A large selection of burgers, and always a monthly burger special. This month it was the Apple Fest: with cheddar, bacon, maple cinnamon aioli, and apple slices. Interesting enough but the apples didn't really add anything. Points for creativity though. The bacon was nicely crisp. The burgers are large (8 oz) and served on a brioche bun, butter-brushed - a bit too heavily in my opinion. Cooked to your requested doneness - unusual at this level of restaurant - and correctly. Served with a side of fries: decent enough but not outstanding, with a very light cornmeal batter. What the burger entrees lack is a third item: a pickle, small side of coleslaw, etc. At least throw in a pickle wedge please. I also like the Rodeo Burger: jalapenos, french-fried onions, lettuce, cheddar, and barbecue sauce. The French Connection is interesting too. On other occasions I've tried the pizza. Good but not memorable. Definitely better than the other pizza place in town though. It's a thick crust with generous amount of cheese, ample toppings, and a sauce that tastes like more than just tomatoes. The crust isn't made in-house (I asked) but it's better than many. The french onion soup, which has been on the specials board for as long as I've been coming, is a big disappointment. Thin, metallic-tasting broth, onions cut too small, and cheese topping that isn't properly browned under the broiler. I can't understand why it's popular but I see it ordered frequently. As for drinks, it's about the beers here. There's a large selection including many drafts. Including locals from the island, nearby Stowe, and elsewhere in Vermont. As for ciders of which I'm a fan, sadly only one: Citizens United, a fairly boring choice but at least it's local. A few wines by the glass are available for the wine drinkers. Mixed drinks like margaritas are a waste: Weak on alcohol and made from overly sweet mixes. Avoid. The desserts: brownie sundaes, cheesecake, peanut butter pie, bread pudding. I've never tried them, except once: churros. Unexpected: typically found in Mexican restaurants. Definitely not recommended. Little cinnamon flavor, and a strange filling that reminded me more of a thin cannoli. One more thing before I go: They ALWAYS have help-wanted signs up and their Facebook page also mentions it frequently. And more than once I saw on their Facebook that they had to open late or close early due to to lack of staffing. I have to wonder: why do they have trouble finding and keeping staff? Is it a problem with morale or bad management? I don't know. But the staff is always pleasant and seem unstressed so if so they're doing a good job hiding it. Whatever the reason, I hope they can fix it. Short staffing and frequent turnaround is not a good thing.

The service was very good in terms of getting our food quickly for our takeout. Taste wise the poutine and wings were delicious! Unfortunately the pizza was a little too much bread for our liking but still was a good meal all in all. UPDATE: We ended up looking at the bill and the prices were not at all the same as the menu provided, so we ended up spending much more than anticipated which was a pretty rough way to end the night.

We were in town for my 30th birthday and decided to come here last night after a friend gave us a…read moregift card. We were super excited as the menu looked amazing! Upon arriving, the host told us he couldn't find our reservation and went to get his manager. She came over and said "yep, I see it right here, but we don't have a table available for another 45 minutes." They offered us a table in the bar area and we decided to take it, but it was very lounge like with two big wingback chairs and a teeny tiny cocktail table. The waitress we had was lovely and understanding but it was really cramped and disappointing. The bar area was loud and not the special birthday vibe we'd imagined. We started off with the pickled pear and burrata salad and it was the best thing we had all night. The steak tartare was a funky color and had a gamey flavor. About two minutes after getting our steak tartare delivered, a waiter came over with our entrees. There wasn't room for all of the food at the table and he asked if we were done with the tartare. We explained we'd just gotten it about 2 minutes ago and I asked if there were any tables larger available by that point but unfortunately he walked away as I was talking which felt really embarrassing. I saw him take our food away into what I'm assuming was the kitchen, and they brought it out 15-20 minutes later after we'd finished our apps. It was pretty obvious they'd just put it under a warmer as some parts of our meal were lukewarm, some hot, and some cold. The portions were large but odd- giant heaps of cabbage and sautéed spinach but maybe a few tablespoons of mashed potatoes. My pork chop was inedible. It was dry to the point I could hardly cut through it and pick it up with my fork. My boyfriend enjoyed the short rib. We ordered dessert to go but was told a large party had just come in so the kitchen was backordered and it took a considerable amount of time to get 2 desserts to go. All in all, the gift card covered most of this meal so we made the most of it, but I never would've paid out of pocket for the meal and service we experienced last night. As someone who dines out frequently and has a job in food journalism, it's been a long time since I've experienced something quite this poor.
