    We’ve been many times infrequently the past several years but this was the best!! Our waiter was OUTSTANDING - refined, smart, and more than pleasant and informative. The food was the best I’ve ever had there. Menu was expansive with great choices and alternatives (love the idea of a 1/2 salad!). Truly a perfect dining experience. I think Barnsteiners has upped their game and would HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Barnsteiners is reliably excellent each time I visit. The food was quite excellent. Older clientele which is nice, and quieter noise level. Prices reasonable and service very good. Highly recommend this neighbourhood restaurant.

    Our neighbourhood place. Usually pretty good but it seems that kitchen was a little overwhelmed tonight with how busy it got. Seafood a bit too charred in the pasta dish. Salad and risotto was very good as it usually it is. Very noisy tonight, no fault of the restaurant but something to keep in mind if you're looking for quiet.
