Junction, Essex Junction, VT

I would say that this restaurant thought more of itself than I did, and while the food was good, it was not knock your socks off good, and it was expensive. It is nestled in a complex that used to house the New England Culinary Institute, and now houses a hotel that offers cooking classes on site. The setting is beautiful, nestled in a town that abuts Burlington, and on a substantial grounds. There was a broad selection of seafood on offer, which is nive, because while Vermont does not touch the ocean (it's neighbor to the east, New Hampshire, barely has a coast), it is not very far from one and that was a real plus. If the food was more affordable, I would consider going back, but even then, there are other options.
