   Gorgeous setting! Tuna tartar and Buffalo cauliflower was awesome. Staff was patient and obliged when we requested table pics and even a move away from the speaker.

   Waited along time for service Everyone’s meal finally came out after almost an hour and then we were informed they had to get more hamburgers and the kitchen was backed up so my husband’s meal would come out after all of us got our dinner .By the time it was brought out we had all finished eating so he took his home and never ate.They did not charge for his meal after we spoke to manager.Bad experience for a first time visit

   Love sitting outside here. The food is solid and the dessert (brownie sunday - when they aren't out of vanilla ice cream) is amazing. The service was horrendous when we went yesterday. We had to get up and find someone to help us multiple times and waited too long for our meal. The few other times I've been, it wasn't this bad.

   I was notified that a favorite musician would be playing there so I booked an outdoor table assuming we would be near the live music (which was why we made the reservation) but it turned out to be in a different location down on the beach. While we couldn’t see the concert, we would have been able to hear it if not for the music in the restaurant. When we asked them nicely if it was possible to turn the music down so we could hear the concert the employee was somewhat rude in refusing and implied that the 2 venues were not affiliated, which I don’t think is true but I’m still confused. It was a pleasant meal but not the experience we expected.

   There is Karaoke on Mondays nights. Ruins the experience if you’re not into hearing others sing and shouting. Use to be a fun vibe on summer Monday nights with all the volleyball players but the karaoke stopped most from going.

   It took 45 minutes for our food to come. Waiter got my side dish wrong but corrected it pronto. Food was pretty good and nice sized portions.. Nice beach atmosphere although the chairs were super uncomfortable.

    This was a great choice for a multigenerational family dinner. The view was stunning and the food was great for the price. We loved the tuna tartare and fish tacos, although beware that the fish is fried. The service was a tad slow, but it was hard to complain with such gorgeous scenery. It was a bit loud, but that was because there was a party with a dj at the pavilion next door. We will definitely go again!

    Food was subpar. Ordered fish and chips and I got a mountain of French fries and one small piece of fish. Very expensive and not the best taste. Cannot beat the ambiance. Beautiful view. Wish service was faster (smile more) and the food was better.

    Service was slow. Understaffed! Did not as good as usual. Maybe the Wednesday chef is not the usual. We'll go back. View is lovely, especially at sunset.

    Love the ambiance of this restaurant on a sunny warm spring day overlooking the LI Sound. The tuna sandwich was tasty (not so much the guacamole/chips) and the drinks were good. Service was very slow … but servers were very nice. We had time to enjoy our conversation in a comfortable and lovely setting.

    The view is great. We sat on the deck and it overlooks Rye Beach. The food was very mediocre. We've dined at one of their other locations, The Barley House in Thornwood and the food there was much better. Service was also very sub-par. We had to flag down the hostess in order to get utensils and plates for our appetizer and I had to run indoors to get ketchup and tarter sauce for our fish and chips.

    Has the feeling off old time beach restaurants. Nothing much like it in the Sound Shore area. Only other options are private clubs. Always feel good when I go there with friends. Great location. Parking may be a problem for some. It is expensive if you don't have a town pass. Food reasonable but add $10 for parking.

    Most restaurants hold your table for only 15 minutes if you are late; after that they give it away. The young people working at the desk at this restaurant, clearly with no supervision or adequate training, hold the table for the full 1 hr 45 minutes (i saw them hold tables over an hour) if the person doesn’t show up; I believe they are misunderstanding the policy that says how long you have to eat at your table if you are there. For this reason, every time I go ( only because i’m at the beach next to it) at least half the tables are empty (“reserved “), but they say they are full and turn people away. OSSES/ABSENTEE OWNERS- please do something!!

    Service was terrible. The waiter brought us water and said he would be back to take our order even though we were ready. He never came back and we saw him in the back just chatting away. So after at least 10 minutes I walked up to the bar tender and. Told her we want to order and our waiter never came back. She was nice and came around and took our order. After we ordered and got our food the original waiter came around and asked if everything was ok. Then after we ate never got the check. Waited again for atleast 15 minutes so walked up to that bar tender again and she gave me the bill.

    The terrific beachside location and good food and drinks at the Barley Beach House held a dim candle to the brilliance of the most attentive, friendly and accommodating staff we could have possibly wished for during our Saturday evening birthday party for 15. All aspects of the BBH combined to give us all an amazing, enjoyable evening to remember.

    We appreciated being seated inside as it was about 50 degrees out. Unfortunately, the staff was setting up for a large party & insisted on dragging the heavy metal stools across the floor, making a horrendous noise. We did appreciate being accommodated, the food, service & drinks were all very good.

    Overall it is a good place. However the food could be so much better. I ordered a texmex salad and it didn’t come with all of the ingredients. My husband ordered steak and it was supposed to come with sautéed broccoli, but the broccoli were simply boiled. The location is very nice and perfect for a romantic date by the beach.

    The food is excellent but the service some what slow . Almost everyone around us had some kind of issue with waiting to be served or getting an order taken. The staff is very nice and the food very good but it was slow.

    The food quality is acceptable, service can be sketchy, but One cannot beat the beach location. We always come back here for special occasions when the weather is nice. However I wouldn’t choose this restaurant if I cannot dine outside.

    The ambiance was very nice, sadly the service and the food do not come close. Understaffed? Maybe, that seems to be the excuse, but we waited over 1 hour for food, waitress ignored the table the entire time, when food finally came it was cold and inedible. The manager was less then apologetic, told us that if we wanted we could reorder but wait for food would be long. Overall the experience was awful and I do not recommend this place at all. It’s a beautiful setting but that’s all it has going for it

    The menu has completely changed and there’s very little seafood items on it, especially being on the waterfront you think they would offer more of a selection. I love the fact that they charge you nearly 4% if you use your credit card. it’s a rip off as they’re collecting more money off the credit card transaction than necessary and they don’t tell you that before hand…FUN. Service was slow and the servers were very confused on where things were going. I feel the prices are awfully high for what you’re getting. I don’t understand how 4 mixed drinks ($52), 2 appetizers ($28) and french fries ($?) cost over $100? They never provided an itemized receipt so we mostly likely paid for somebody else’s food. Oh and we were kicked out of the restaurant because it was rented it out for the night so we were asked to leave early.
