Adventurous anniversary meal in Burlington, VT?
We're staying outside Burlington. Hen of the Wood has been recommended to us but it seems a bit traditional -- yummy but maybe not quirky. Any other recommendations for must-try spots?

Would recommend Hen of the Wood anytime. Not quirky, but a bit unique - you dine in the cellar of an d grist mill. We recently had an amazing meal at the Chef's Table at the Essex. A private (6 or 8 diners max) table with local, depending on what's fresh dinner made to order with wine pairings. It was incredible.

Not quirky but great food, great service and an EXCELLENT beer menu, try Farmhouse. http://farmhousetg.com/index.html

If you're looking for quirky and end up at good but very standard Italian Sarducci's you'll be sorely disappointed. I think your best bets are San Sai in Burlington or Salt in Montpelier. San Sai has excellent omakase-style meals, made with locally grown Japanese produce. Salt is known for regularly changing, themed menus and personalized service.
