We have dined at Barnwood many times and have always enjoyed everything we ordered. However, last night was a disappointment. Four of us ordered salad with steak added, and every one of the orders had the steak overcooked and the quality of the meat was poor. Very fatty and grisly. Service was very as always.

We chose to meet for lunch on a weekday at Barnwood Grill in Newtown, CT because it was halfway between our home and our cousin's home, and the reviews were very positive. Parking was easy in a spacious parking lot. The decor of the restaurant and bar is beautiful, and the tables, floor, and ladies room were all spotlessly clean. Windows are large so it was very bright inside, and the patio outside looked lovely. We were greeted right away upon arrival and immediately shown to our table. Throughout the meal, the waitstaff were very attentive. Three of us ordered the blackened salmon tacos which were served with French fries, and one ordered the tuna tartare. We all were happy with our main dish. I prefer my French fries more well done and crispy, but the salmon was fresh and tasty. If I am in Newtown again. I would choose to eat at the Barnwood Grill again.

Everything was great except the service was TOO fast. I felt rushed. Not because it was busy. It was 5:30 on. Tuesday. The server was too anxious to serve us. I think he was bored. Maybe we were his only customers. As soon as I sat down, he asked me what I would like to drink. Same when my friend arrived. No chance to even look at the drink menu. Then as soon as the drinks were delivered he asked if we knew what we wanted to eat. No chance to even look at the dinner menu! I cannot fault his efficiency but it was to a fault. I would say in this case where the restaurant was not so busy he should just allow more time to the customer to settle in. Once the food order was taken, the food came out like 10 minutes later. Everything was just rushed! BUT waiter was very nice. Polite. Food was good and hot. Just needed a more relaxed situation.

Had a wonderful lunch on Monday! The red snapper and rice with shrimp and scallops was absolutely divine. Both flatbread. Pizzas were scrumptious, and the burger was devoured by my companions, looked delicious awesome portions for the price. Left with smiles on our faces after our desserts!

Great vibe, great wait staff but the food is extremely overpriced for what you get, it lacks seasoning and we ended up taking everything home so we could season and recook it ourselves.

Great experience! It was actually quite busy for a Wednesday night yet we didn’t feel that it was loud or lacked good service. Very nice server. Food was very good… I love different salads and this place did not disappoint. Menu and specials had something for everyone and I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Great food and nice place. Wasn’t sure when we pulled up because it is in a strip mall but wasn’t disappointed. My only criticism was I reserved a regular table so we wouldn’t get seated in a high top but for some reason we were seated at the bar on a night top.

Best service anywhere -- authentically cordial and extra-accommodating, attentive to questions, details and special requests, relatable and fun! Food is always first-rate, with a nice range of specials to complement the restaurant's seasonally updated menus. The kitchen is very accommodating, and the staff's thoughtful touches for special occasions do not go unnoticed. This is our go-to restaurant, whether for spur of the moment outings or special occasions. It's a lovely space, both in the bar and main dining areas, including al fresco dining in fine weather; in short, it's a delightful setting, year-round!
