    Had very good service. I sat on the patio in the evening. The heaters made for a nice temperature. The food was great, but the wine and beer selection was even better.

    Great food. Lindsay was perfectly attentive. There when I needed something, otherwise able to enjoy my dinner unmolested. The Short Ribs were great. Garlic fries were fantastic!

    Brian is THE BEST bartender anywhere. Grab a seat at the bar and he will take ridiculously good care of you.

    Good food and atmosphere if you like eating next to dogs inside a dining room. They should really make people with pets sit outside! Hope you are not allergic.

    This place is one of my favorite places. What I like about the Barrel Room best is that they carry a great selection of wines and you can get some great wines by the glass. The food is also very goo

    Wine list is fabulous, though the wine knowledge of the staff is lacking. So, if you know what you're looking for, you'll be thrilled! Try the Asagio Steak Sandwich - AMAZING!

    Try to get the couches in the front for more relaxed seating...they serve the full menu from there.

    If you order the cheese plate, be sure to request bacon. I've never had bacon this crispy ever! In fact, request double bacon.

    Great wine list and love the appetizers. Bar is fun to hang out and check out a game - nicer than a sports bar but still lively and casual
