About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
The Barn is one of Block Island's best kept secrets. This unique dining venue features an open kitchen and a wood fired grill, which creates wonderful flavors that cannot be duplicated at home. As soon as you step into the Barn, you immediately feel welcomed. A combination of our culinary staff cooking right in front of you and the intimate ambiance creates a perfect evening. ** Reservations are highly recommended and credit cards may be taken to hold your time. A $100 charge will be incurred if a reservation is not canceled within 8 hours of your scheduled arrival time. This setting is designed for a quiet dining experience for adults and children above the age of 12 only.
Respectful dress required. **

Please be aware of booking counter top seating. Please know if you do make a "counter top" reservation, this will be at our Chef's Bar, which will be at bar stool height.

    Everything was delicious! The burata salad, the statler chicken, salmon and seafood Bouillabaisse was exceptional. The service, atmosphere, food and cocktails all deserve a 10 out of 10.

    Best kept secret - from the ambiance to the service to the delicious food, we could not have had a better experience! We chose counter seating and it did not disappoint. Chef was so welcoming and it was amazing to watch them work their magic. We got the filet and salmon, they were both perfection! We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful food, service and location. One of the best restaurants on Block Island, and highly recommended. The only change I'd recommend, and a couple more food options on the menu, including more local seafood dishes. However, amazing all around and well worth the price per plate. The barn is truly special place for special occasions.

    Great food and atmosphere. Of the several trips to BI, never ate at the Barn. Kind of hidden. Will definitely return on next trip.
