The Barn

Robin Marzella

I don’t generally leave reviews and I certainly don’t often leave negative reviews. However, after my third visit to the Barn, each visit worse than the last, I felt compelled to leave this review. Setting aside the prices for the quality/quantity of food you receive, every aspect of their product denotes an attitude of penny wise and pound foolish. I will start with the $27 shrimp and pasta dish. It contained five shrimp and the amount of pasta was not nearly enough for an average adult. I don't believe that you should leave a restaurant hungry, especially when spending $27.00. To compensate, I requested additional rolls for my father. The staff was reluctant to bring them but eventually did. My dinner consisted of wings, which were clearly the store bought type i could have made at home. The icing on the cake was my son’s request for a second soda. His first soda was filled to the brim with ice. Having been told by the wait staff that refills were not free, I told him to order a second soda without ice. When it arrived at the table, it was in a glass half the size of the original soda. My family and I go out to eat often when we are in Vermont but we will not be frequenting the Barn again.

It had the atmosphere and price of a fancier restaurant, but they didn't have a wide variety of choices for dinner. I was very disappointed in the options.

Could use more parking, people were parked along the road on the steep hill. Definitely make reservations. I didn’t expect it to be as busy as it was at 5:30pm. Started with a sweet potato coconut bisque from the specials menu as well as the cheese sampler. The bisque was good, but the cheese sampler stood out. Presented on a barn shaped cutting board, there were dried figs, apple slices, some sort of amazing jelly and crackers along with 4 types of cheese. This sounded a bit pricy to me($12,) but was very good and worth the price. My husband got a salad and a pasta dish with chicken. He said the salad was fine, there was not much chicken on the main course and the pasta was very al dente(which is fine with him,) flavor was good. I got an angel hair pasta special with sun dried tomatoes and a big ball of soft cheese on the top. My pasta was cooked perfectly. The dish had great seasoning. I also tried their cider on tap: Citizen Cider. Was quite dry, but nice, it grew on me:) Served ice cold in a pint glass. My husband got the draft root beer, quite good. About half way through our meal, the power went out. There were big storms raging through the area. It was still light enough outside and there were enough windows in the dining area that we weren’t left in absolute darkness. The staff took it in stride and were providing paper credit card receipts and taking credit card info down on paper. It did take longer to pay because of this, but a delay was to be expected under the circumstances. Overall, the price was delightfully lower than I expected($60ish without tip for the 2 of us, considering we got drinks, appetizers and the like.) My dish was the priciest($17). Service was quite good considering how packed they were and the power outage. The repurposed barn interior is very cool. We would come back when in the area!

Huge old barn with wide plank wooden floors and tables. Giant fieldstone corner fireplace, very generous portions. Tasty steaks and homemade buns finishing off with Tiramisu and Creme Brule made on the premises. Nice atmosphere and nice background music. The menu priced very reasonably. Go there for great food.! 12 Oz Ribeye steak with blue cheese.
