Had yet another great experience! My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and brought along our 14 month old. I requested some special drinks to mimic or signature drinks from our wedding when I made the reservation and the tea at the Barrel went above and beyond. Great dinner and great anniversary!

The food was excellent and the restaurant had a cool vibe but it is very loud and the high top tables have VERY uncomfortable bar stools. The staff was attentive and overall we had a good time. It is a little expensive but if you love red meat, then this is your place.

Forgetaboutit ! My wife and I went the the Butcher and Barrel for an early dinner. Decided to get some shareables at the bar since it was happy hour. We ordered four shareables. The Brussels -they were bad, the peanut sauce just didn't do it. Truffled fries - they were soggy. Wings - they were overcooked and dry. Kai Yang Chicken - it was dry, again it was overcooked. The only good thing about the meal was the salad which came with the Kai Yang chicken. It was delicious. Overall we were both pretty disappointed with our first visit to this restaurant.

Not our first time here, and one of our favorite girls night hangouts for bourbon drinks and good food. They used to have a steak flight which was amazing, but due to diners making too many special requests on the fish, the restaurant was unable to maintain a consistent product and did away with that option-we were so sad about that! Had the special which was delicious. Steak kabob with hummus, salad and bread. Kabob overdone, but overall the meal was delicious. It's a pretty noisy joint, so if that's a problem for you, maybe sit outside or choose another place.

Enjoyed our evening meal prior to going to a concert at Greenfield Lake. My wide and I had relaxing drinks prior dinner. Good range of appetizers and cocktails are offered. As we are somewhat familiar with their portions, we each decided on one of their salads as our main meal and that was sufficient, but decided to split a dessert. As with each visit, we were exceptionally pleased with our experience. One unusual occurrence, I forgot to pick up my credit card as we were leaving. A short time later, I received a call they had found it and would hold it securely until I could come by and pick it up. This was an added touch that I had never received any other time I forgot something, a service for which I was very grateful.

Waitstaff was rather distracted. Never got a wine menu despite asking for one. Water was not refilled toward the end of the meal. But the rest was fine. Quite a long wait for food, which was understandable since the restaurant was busy, but had to grab the waiter to order more wine during the wait, and got no updates on food.

The food was good, but it was SO NOISY, we asked our server to turn down the music, which he did, for a little while. But once the lunch crowd started to thin out the staff cranked the music back up, it was as though they were trying to run us off. I go out for a nice meal in order to chat with my friends, not possible here.

We had two great meals there. Filets perfectly cooked. Seafood cocktail was excellent. Some good spice on that appetizer. Our server, Kaycee is outstanding. Be sure to ask for her. She allowed us to keep a leisurely pace and didn’t rush us. Glad to see this restaurant is still doing great. We loved our visit. Thanks.
