Haybarn Restaurant & Lounge

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here tonight. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance was inviting, and the food was excellent for the price point (though the shrimp cocktail fell a bit short). We’ll definitely be returning and recommending to others.

A restaurant hidden deep within the campus of Goddard College (now closed) Folks are attempting to use the former university campus space but the endowment was clearly insufficient for the college to continue on. A few purchase deals have fallen through. In the meantime, we support as we can. This time the beneficiary was Feed VT.

My wife and I are locals and had dinner there for the first time. I must say that Chef Zak put together an excellent restaurant out of a somewhat difficult location. The food is excellent, clearly made with good quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection. I am gluten intolerant, the waitress was perfectly knowledgeable of the issue of being celiac. She and the chef took care of me perfectly: gluten free bun for an excellent burger, and delicious hand cut french fries made in the oven rather then the fryer to avoid contamination. Thank you Chef Zak, thank you Viviana. The wines we choose were also very good: Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. A light soffused music in the background that did not interfere with having a conversation. Total complete sa

The Haybarn is an absolute gem! I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. I was blown away by how beautiful everything looked — the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting, creating the perfect dining experience. The food was absolutely outstanding! Everything we ordered was perfection! I can’t stop thinking about the onion rings — I’ve never had them so perfectly cooked: crisp, golden, and delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made our visit even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!

This is a great new place to go in the Barre Montpelier area. Menu options and prices are great, we've been there twice and enjoyed both times. Both the food and service are excellent, we'll definitely be regulars there.
