The Barrel

Let's preface this with first! How in the hell did we not know this place was here 5 years living right down the road! I am head over heels that we found this Amazing Place!If your a Bourbon Connoisseur they have you covered!If your a Wine Connoisseur they have you covered!If you enjoy Great not good but great food Chef has you Covered!You want Personal attention from your waitstaff, they have you covered!You want extremely clean and well kept they have you covered!If you want Food that makes the pallet dance with excitement waiting for the next course this is a place for you!Don't rush it take it in, the atmosphere, the taste, the smells of exquisite food.We came in and were promptly greeted by Ashley who seated us immediately.First thing that was noticed was the placement of the Silverware, which was polished to a brilliant shine, the Wine and water glass, not a single spot as one would expect in a fine dining establishment.Our Waiter Xander quickly came to the table, and when asked about house favorites was quick and knowledgeable about the menu and foods! Absolutely spot on descriptions, including the sauces and flavoring of the foods! We choose the Oysters and Deviled Eggs appetizers!What a great recommendation the Oysters were not only fresh ( clean and clear) the sauces sent with them were traditional and very fresh it is apparent in the taste!The deviled Eggs are not your Grandmothers Thanksgiving Eggs they are better just don't tell Grandma..My Wife ordered the smoked Duck meal, judging by how quickly she cleared her plate I can say it was beyond delicious, and she is picky as picky comes.I had the Ribeyes and I am a Beef purist, no sauces just give me the meat!Cooked perfectly, I didn't need a knife this steak was simply amazing, I have had 140.00 and Ounce WAYGU that was not nearly as tasteful and so perfectly cooked as this steak was. The sides were some mashed potatoes and asparagus both flavorful and perfectly paired with this steak. Now I orders three orders of the scallops with my steak as I love scallops, these were not dainty little scallops they were big and tasty. Perfect cook on the scallops seasoned just right still allowing that sea taste to come through!We opted for the homemade Bread pudding, wholly Mother of Mary! This dessert should be illegal it is so absolutely delicious you have to tart it all, you can be completely stuffed you will make room for this dessert!I can not say enough about how well we were treated by the amazing staff, our Waiter Xander was truly an absolute pleasure to speak with, and a consummate professional, his recommendations were spot on!We are planning our next visit and I guarantee you it will not be another five years before we return, so glad we found this amazing spot! To whomever owns this little slice of heaven Thank you kindly for providing this area with such An awesome and well managed establishment!

The food was good. However, here are some pointers for next time:- Don't seat a couple on their anniversary across from 6 loud, drunk women. - A couple spending over $300 wants to dine. Don't hover over them waiting to take their plate while they're still eating. - Don't send the manager over to make a sales pitch because the restaurant doesn't have ANY of the wine on the menu. Offer to comp the wine instead. - Don't put the cork back in the bottle after uncorking it. - In short: TRAIN THE STAFF!

We went here in October; hadn't tried it because I kept hearing about high prices. It's not! Their prices are reasonable, their happy hour is generous, and they have a burger special on Mondays. We loved everything we tried - perfectly cooked, served promptly, just terrific all around. If you're lucky enough to get Eleanor as your server, take every recommendation she offers; you'll be glad you did because she's outstanding. We sat on the patio and totally loved the vibe - from lighting to the pond to their creative selfie wall, it was great.

The food was very tasty, the service was excellent and the ambiance felt to be of people my age between 40-60 not to mention the whole layout of the restaurant and lighting. Don't get me wrong there were younger ones there but it just felt right. The manager was delightful and informative, our waitress explained everything in detail. And the speakeasy was very comfy too! Loved it and if I could give it 10 stars I would.

I received a Barrel gift card for Mother's Day and couldn't wait to get over there to use it. We came on a Saturday evening around 5:30, had a reservation and was seated right away. Our waitress was incredibly kind, offering recommendations and suggestions to make our dinner choices more delicious! We sat outside where is was very cute and had a nice water feature running next to it but I do think after May it might get uncomfortable at certain times of the day due to the heat. We tried quite a few things while we were there - salmon wontons which had wonderful filling and crispy exterior. Some drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic, the waitress was also very patient with me when I confirmed my drink was non alcoholic which I really appreciated. We also had two delicious entrees, the ribeye and the short ribs. We both really enjoyed our own as well as the other persons. Depending on your mood and possibly how hot it is outside you might prefer one more to the other but I found both to be delicious, served quickly and very filling. We splurged and got the bread pudding as well and it was so incredibly good but after we ate everything else it was the one thing we didn't eat completely. I highly recommend The Barrel especially for a date night!

Nice ambience and lovely cocktails. Food was very subpar that night. I ordered the shrimp over pesto pasta and the shrimp was so overly salted and overcooked. The pasta was heavy and gluey. My husband ordered a steak and he did like it but it was nothing special. Eating out is so expensive these days and we were so disappointed for this was my birthday dinner.

I've been here now more than 10x and every time the service is slow. It's very hard to tip when you've waited for water, bread, drinks, any and all server attention. The place has a cool vibe but they need to put more tinit on the front doors. There's no space to wait if they're on a wait so be prepared for awkwardness as you stand over the first table which is placed too close t the door. The bread is good but delayed to deliver. Cocktails are good- bar tenders are also painfully slow. Like 25 min for a drink slow. Food menu is unique but the font is tiny. Couple that with the low lights and good lunch seeing the menu. On the upside the food is good!

8 of us went there for happy hour. Featured drinks were half price until 6. Old fashioneds and other classics were excellent and a great value. Their double hamburger is $10 for happy hour and is a damn good burger. The brussels sprouts app has Asian chile spice. We went back the next week and ordered the same things. Service was excellent first time, merely average second time. There's a speakeasy accessible thru the kitchen that looks fun. We'll try that next time.

Food and wait service was great. The manager (?) should go back to Customer Service school. Very, very disappointing.

Incredible experience and wish I could've found this gem sooner! Will be back ASAP (will find an excuse other than birthday or anniversary). First impressions were elevated, small, intimate, attention to detail was not lacking in the slightest. Awesome decor, the music isn't blasting and you can actually hear who is dining with you, and seating is comfortable with plenty of room -- doesn't feel like your smashing into the table next to you.DRINKS-- incredible. Pricing on point, fresh, purées made in house. Great wine and whiskey selection. If you like a spicy marg get the "No Trowsers"-- DELICIOUS and made with habanero ice. My boyfriend enjoyed their smoked old fashion (great pour), and we both have high admiration for their espresso martini now. FOOD-- top notch. Every bite we took was fresh, delicious, attention to detail and quality tasted with every bite. Stand out bites for us included the bacon wrapped quail on goat cheese grits (HEAVENLY), the lamb shank was melt in your mouth incredible, and my bf greatly enjoyed the pan seared elk. We both were blown away by their crème brûlée flight with seasonal flavors! Will be back for a happy hour soon and taste some more :)Shout out to Jennifer (server) for being incredibly attentive. She also guided us to their lounge bar afterwards which was such a fun way to end our night. Can't wait to come back to The Barrel!
