On Monday, November 4, Perry and Neil Farr will reopen their Scale poke bar in Essex Junction. The decision to offer Hawaiian-style poke bowls again at 137 Pearl Street is a return to that location’s incarnation as a Scale outpost from 2020 to 2022, before the couple opened Onsen Ramen there. The original Scale poke bar has operated in Williston's Blair Park since 2017. Onsen Ramen closed permanently in July after struggling with staffing shortages and fluctuating seasonal demand for hot noodle soup, the Farrs said at the time. Perry Farr told Seven Days by email that she and her husband always intended to build the Scale into a multi-location business. "We are excited to return to that vision in a post-Covid world that is more business friendly," she wrote. The two restaurants will be open daily 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with the same menu of savory poke offerings and sweet açaí fruit bowls. Farr noted that the Scale can accommodate many dietary restrictions and preferences with gluten-free, vegan and soy-free options. The Scale's signature sauces, such as vegan Firecracker and maple chili, are also available to purchase by the bottle at the restaurants. Broader retail distribution is on hold. "Our day-to-day restaurant operations are front and center at the moment," Farr said. She added that a previously announced plan to open a seasonal ice cream shop called Judi's in the same Williston building as the original Scale has been postponed to spring 2025…
