   The restaurant accommodated moving us inside instead of outdoor seating. Service was incredibly slow. Drink orders took forever to arrive. I ordered a second drink that never arrived prior to us leaving. The hamburgers were heavy and greasy and the fries were soggy. Brussel sprouts were awesome.

   Busy Friday night - probably in kitchen but our vegetables arrived after all had finished dinner and the dessert had been ordered.

   Our waiter had all the perfect suggestions for our table of 4. We had the steak flight with a side, some sharables, and a couple desserts. It was absolutely delicious!! The cocktails were well crafted. We selected a whiskey flight and the waiter made great whiskey and bourbon suggestions based on what we liked. We even got to learn a cool story about one of the bourbon's we didn't know before. Definitely would recommend!

   Our server was having a bad night. Seemed annoyed with our group. Brussels were not very flavorful. Smash burger not very good. Shrimp tacos and Arugula steak salad was good. Fries were good. Wine pour was very small. Do not get the cheesecake small and nothing special,strange texture for NY style. A little disappointed overall, but the location was good. We will try again and hope for a better experience.

   I enjoyed this restaurant. However the people I came with were not happy with their food not being cooked like they wanted it. Even after sending it back to the kitchen a second time, it was still not cooked. The noise level was a bit loud for them. I will return.

    The wait time past the reservation time was far too long. Almost 40 minutes. The server was a bit overwhelmed to start but settled down and was great after that. The food was excellent but they were out of items we wanted to eat. Overall still a very good experience.

    Thoroughly disappointed with the experience my wife and I had for our first (and only) visit to True Blue Butcher & Barrel. We got a reservation for 7:45pm, arrived at 7:30pm, and were not seated until 8pm. Luckily, the brewery next door occupied us during wait, but since there was no cell notification, we came back over too early and had to stand outside in cold (there is zero waiting area and bar was full) for 10min. We were seated at a tipsy high-top table (waitress had to "fix" to stay still) and the very small chairs were fairly uncomfortable. I was sitting next to one of the meat cases, and should have gotten a hint then as none of the cuts looked high-end, but I did order the rib eye, cooked medium. What I got was a rare/med-rare steak that was filled with fat veins (uncommon for rib eyes in my experience). One of those veins took 5min of flossing later to get out, btw. Steak had very little flavor of its own, though the dip they provided was excellent and unique. Fries were good and draft beer fine as well. $25 shrimp cocktail starter was interesting, but neither of us thought it was great and far too small for price (might have been worth $10). Restaurant is certainly "hip", but so loud any conversation with my wife just across the table was impossible. Even the waitress had to literally have separate conversations leaned in to our ears due to the volume of music and conversation. Honestly, I could have gotten over most things except for the $57 steak that was honestly not worth sending back to cook more. My wife and I are not picky people, but we both agreed we could have spent that $190 much better ways. :-( Steak lovers be forewarned - this is NOT the place to come.

    Food was excellent although they were out of several items on the menu. Noise level was very high and difficult to have a conversation with those at your table.

    I was a little disappointed to be sat at a high top for a table of 5, it felt like I was on top of the folks behind me. The service was not what I was expecting, I know it was busy however 3 hours for dinner was a little much. I’d like to try it again when it’s not my birthday and don’t hold such high expectations.

    Food was delicious but the staff was overwhelmed and the overall experience was diminished. Too many critical out of stocks at 6:30 on a busy holiday evening. They should have this figured out more given price point.

    Nice atmosphere, good food, good service. All fine. On most recent visit, kitchen appeared to be having trouble keeping up so long wait and then a bit of rushing because it was a business lunch and everyone had places to be. Not daunted - still a good spot.

    We took our good friend out for her birthday. The tables were wobbly and had to be fixed. Wine pours, though correct, could have been more generous for the price of a glass. Our server was knowledgeable and nice, but a little distant.

    Early dinner after massages at Native Caves, daughter and husband ordered the filets, excellent! I ordered the Torta, yummy! Shareable: vegetables and potatoes were fresh and seasoned just the way we like. TBB&B’s burgers are excellent, too. Try their mockIni: Peaflower Lemonade. They also have an extensive bar, daughter was impressed with their scotch selections. I have also gone for lunch or early dinner, off hours and quiet. They do have outdoor tables. Service was excellent.
