• Farm-to-table • Winooski

Treetops Restaurant & Bar sits high above Winooski in the new Sugar House Hotel, just across the river from downtown Burlington. Ferns spill from the ceiling around crystal chandeliers, green velvet booths line warm wood walls, and a wall of glass doors opens onto a seasonal terrace overlooking the treetops. Executive Chef Steve Zeno’s kitchen leans on Vermont farms and producers, with menus for breakfast, weekend brunch and dinner. Stop in for a cocktail at the bar, a slow brunch with friends, or dinner as the light fades over the trees.

VERY high quality food at this lovely, cozy-feeling cafe out in the country. Everything was beautifully flavorful, fresh, perfectly seasoned. Our group split the roasted oysters appetizer, and the house-made pastrami appetizer, both of which were amazing. My companions both ordered pasta dishes. I tried to order the special pasta (squash bucatini) but it was sold out. The shrimp and grits I pivoted to were amazing, though, so no regrets! One thing I was a little surprised by was the number of menu items that were sold out by the time we ordered. We had a 6:00 p.m. reservation, so I wouldn't have expected so many things to sell out so early in the evening. That said, the restaurant was packed, with parties who had gotten there even earlier than us, so I gather the dinner hour skews a bit early in rural Vermont. Ambiance and service were lovely. Prices were in line with what I'd expect at a higher end, farm-to-table venue. I would definitely dine here again!
