Barrington's

5 stars to the chef. The tagliatelle was phenomenal. The cream sauce with mushroom, peas and sage was on point. It was absolutely the best.Barringtons is a small establishment. We had a reservation for what turned out to be a party of 9 women. When making the reservation, it was stated that separate checks could be cut. And as a female waiting on a table of 9 females, what tells you that I want to pay for anyone's else's alcohol and dessert w/o telling us that the system is so antiquated she can't cut separate checks until she brought the check out and said it was 50+ per person.If this had been the only issue w/the wait person, it'd be no problem. She obviously did not want to wait on our party and made us fully aware of that. From not remembering who had what dish to complaining because the person at the end of the table, the very end not the middle screwed up how the orders were coming out. She hid in the kitchen while we were there and the bartender or the manager handled cashing us out. This is Barringtons - this is not the service one expects from a restaurant that is known as one of the best in Charlotte.

Barringtons was delicious. As always. Service was on top of it and made you feel special. My table opted for the pri fix menu. $95 for four courses. A special time

Incredible first time at Barrington's. Everything from start to finish was delicious. I had the special salad with butter lettuce, beets, and focaccia croutons to start. Next split the mushroom tagliatelle and halibut special with someone else. Both were incredible. We spilt 3 desserts including lemon cake, chocolate pudding cake, and seasonal cobbler. 10/10 meal can't wait to go back!

It's the second or third time since Covid we've tried to make a reservation outdoors for a larger party (7) and was told no. My parents are both cancer survivors with compromised immunities and cannot sit inside. There are 2 4 tops available outdoors that I attempted to reserve (I would have been fine with us just being next to each other) and was told no several times. Extremely disappointing and completely illogical. Will take our business elsewhere.

Rarely have my wife and I dined at a restaurant that is so good, I had to write a review about our experience tonight.The restaurant is located in Foxcroft off of Fairview, in Charlotte. We were eating lunch at Brixx earlier this week and saw the sign for Barrington's as we were leaving Brixx. We stopped to check out the restaurant and made a reservation for Saturday night. One of the better decisions we've made this year.Our server Jen, was superb throughout the evening. She started us off with drinks and we selected a delicious bottle of red wine. It was a red blend with great body and perfect with our meal. Bethany had the arugula salad for her appetizer and I chose the summer special, the corn soup. We always try each others choices and I would get either the salad or the soup on our next visit. For our entrees, Bethany had the scallops and I had the lamb chops. Again, either choice was an excellent one. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked and her scallops were as good as any I've had. We still had a bit of room for dessert so Bethany had the banana bread and I chose the warm chocolate pudding cake. I didn't try Bethany's dessert since it had nuts and I'm allergic. My warm chocolate pudding cake was wonderful. A scoop of vanilla ice cream over chocolate cake and a dark chocolate sauce...decadent. Throughout our meal, we could converse without raising our voices. Everyone in the restaurant was respectful of the people seated next to them. Jason Newman, the sous chef is one of those folks whose food you look forward to trying again. Especially since the menu varies, a little bit, with the seasons. We will be back and will offer to take out-of-town guests here. This place is special. Not cheap but certainly within expectations for fine dining. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the city of Charlotte and a restaurant we recommend without hesitation.

There's a lot to like ... just needs some 'zhuzh'.Barrington's menu has such wonderful offerings, and the tastes, aromas, and presentations were all well done. I'd give the food a 4.5 and the service was professional and on point, though less related than we'd expected.The biggest miss for me - as we were seated outside - was how utilitarian and 'not a match' the outdoor space approach was compared to their indoor seating. In short, there are metal tables and chairs like you'd find at a lakeside bar... no tablecloths, placemats, or anything. Moreover, the outdoor area seems more after thought that well planned: the Edison lights seemed tossed up, there was little greenery to soften the stark wood of the barn (which was well built and open-air, so with a few appointments would be well suited to an outdoor meal).I think I'd go back, and I'd eat inside. If they zhuzh'd up the covered patio seating, they'd have a gem out there.

Even though we were told only availability was 5:30 we were the only people in the restaurant for at least another 1/2 hour. Even when we left there were many empty table so don't understand why we were made to go so early. We were also seated at a not very comfortable table with giant legs and hard to not keep hitting it with 3 at the table. Ok forgetting g that, the food was very good. We got the food gras and the corn soup to share and it was all excellent. I was a bit surprised to have to pay for a. Read basket but it was good and warm.I had the pork tenderloin which was very good but almost felt more like a fall than an August dish. My daughter had the halibut and my husband had the scallops that were HUGE!Desserts looked good and we ordered the peach blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream and it was very good it we were too full to finish.Good but will ask for another table next time.

Recently, I had the opportunity to finally dine at this absolutely fantastic establishment. First, reservations are a must. And, make note that you will need to confirm and place a credit card on-file should you not show or cancel. Some may find this aggregating, however, I believe most fine restaurants should have this in place for customer accountability, especially when others could be served that were unable to obtain a reservation. The establishment itself is quaint and very "white tablecloth" traditional. In some ways the entrance is hidden, which offers a mystique about it. Parking is ample. The menu is not overwhelming insofar as you're unable to make a decision; it will have something for everyone. We ordered the lamb and it was superb. The service was outstanding and our waiter and server was dedicated. This is the type of establishment where you speculate a good meal and overall dining experience will occur and leave with that speculation being realized. Moreover, we did not feel rushed, but more so dined at our pace. Also, it's one of the few fine restaurants I've visited recently where customers still respect the fact that dress code should be realized. I recommend open collar and jacket for men and cocktail attire for women. No reason to go suited and booted unless a special occasion. Thank you!

Went here for my birthday a few days ago and I was really looking forward to trying this spot for the first time. The food was phenomenal. Lots of flavor and good portions. BUT the female host who greeted us at the door didn't seem thrilled to have us there. We had a reservation and they couldn't accommodate our party. There was no apology or care that we were celebrating a birthday. They split up our party of 8 into two separate tables...which would have been fine....if the tables were not 25 ft from each other. The restaurant is small. There were open tables all around us. Why split our party up into two tables that are COMPLETELY away from each other? Given that we had friends in town visiting, it made for an awkward experience and likely won't ever be back. We didn't feel welcomed at all.

I travelled to Charlotte for work last week and ate here on my first night. I agree with most of what has been been said in previous reviews. The dining room is extremely small, which could be nice, but all it takes is one loud person to ruin it. Unfortunately that is exactly what happened during my visit. I ate at the small bar since it was only me, and I was enjoying my quiet meal, until a party of 6 came in. There was one guy in the group who was not only obnoxiously loud, but was cussing and speaking on very inappropriate topics. There were a few other couples trying to enjoy a date night who also had to listen to it.Regarding the food...I had the corn soup as an appetizer, which was good. For the main course I had the fish and the chocolate cake for dessert. I thought the food was good, but the price was a little steep for the quantity.I enjoyed my conversations with the multiple bar tenders. They all provided great service.
