Nicholas Barrel and Roost continues to delight with each visit. For my most recent meal, the beet/arugula salad was plentiful, and the halibut entree was also delish, a nice throwback to the restaurant's previous fine dining incarnation. The desserts are also a decent size to split between several people, for those who want to end the meal on a sweet note but don't want an individual portion. I always look forward to going back.

Excellent food and service. I was worried that the change of ownership might change the quality-but it is better than ever! Thank you, Andrew, for your wonderful and caring management! A perfect evening!
