    We were seated next to some surround sound speakers that were extremely loud ...so we asked Farrah if she could turn them down. She accommodated our request making the evening a very enjoyable experience. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    I’ve been to Barlow’s on a few occasions for brunch. The staff is very nice as is the decor, however, the food is poor in taste and not worth the price.

    Right from the moment that you walk into Barlow’s, you realize that your evening will be special. The greeting, the seating and ambiance all help you disconnect from your day and focus on your evening. The waitstaff is expert and attentive, the chef and the kitchen will make your belly dance with joy. It is a quiet place where you don’t need to shout at each other to carry on a conversation. Isn’t this the reason we go out to dinner? We will certainly be back!

    Tried this place for brunch on a Sunday. All started out ok - blood Mary's were very good. But there was something seriously wrong that day - it took about 45 minutes for our meals to come out. No one apologized or explained what happened. Food was decent - all but one of us enjoyed what we had. I don't think it would go back - the whole experience was just unacceptable.

    Service was terrible. Took 40 minutes to get a drink. Restaurant was not that crowded. Food took another 30 minutes to get to the table.

    Farrah is an awesome host and a hands on manager that makes sure everything is to the customers liking! Will recommend you a friend and business contacts any day.
