Twin Farms (Twiggs dinner), Barnard, VT., 11/21/24

Twiggs is in a separate building that used to be a game room and pub named for the founder Thurston Twigg-Smith.  For the first 30 years Twin Farms operated it had just one dining room, which remains their signature venue.  Twiggs opened in the fall of 2022 to offer guests a more casual, rustic option.  It has a seasonal menu that is all a la carte and features an Argentinian wood-fired grill.   A large portion of the high-ceiling wood-beamed room is taken up by a bar with seats for dining and/or drinking.  A couple semicircular booths are along the opposite wall and a large fireplace is at the end of the room with nearby couches and stuffed chairs for pre or post dinner seating. Music was in the background and lots of lights keep it brighter than the average dining room.  With the wood floor and unclothed tables it felt like it might be noisy when filled but we were there off season and noise was not a problem.  Service was great and even the chef that evening came out to visit after our meal.  Most of the stays at Twin Farms have a 3 night minimum so I would encourage you to pick this for one of your dinners.  The food was good and much simpler.
