We didn’t get a chance to dine here. It seems as though they severely overbooked their reservations for Valentine’s day. We had a reservation at 8:30pm, came to the restaurant at 8:20 and saw a huge line outside. It was complete chaos and everyone was kind of just standing around. A hostess came out and she started calling out for “8pm reservations.” At this point we looked around and it looked like the restaurant was completely full so it was pretty clear we’d be waiting for quite a while. We ended up going elsewhere. But please beware on big holidays this restaurant might overbook you!

We were never seated. There was no check in system and they had a crowd of at least 50 people with reservations standing around outside. Chaos.

Overbooked. Everyone there has a reservation but no more tables. It’s stupid that you gotta wait in line for more than an hour when you already reserved a table

Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat here, as the restaurant was extremely overbooked and overwhelmed with too many reservations. We showed up early to find a line of thirty people, all with reservations preceding ours, and no one organizing them. We left and had to find somewhere else for Valentine’s Day dinner.

Do NOT count on your reservation being kept at this restaurant. We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day dinner only to find out we would be held at the door with 50 other people who also made reservations at the same time. This caused us and dozens of others to scramble last minute to just find dinner on what was supposed to be a special night. Do NOT count on Barrel Bistro to keep your dinner plans on special evenings.

Embarrassingly bad. They overbooked Valentine’s Day dinner so badly that when we showed up for our 7pm reservation there was still a mob of people with 6:30 and 6:45 reservations crowding the entrance. The staff could not seem to track who had checked in so would simply announce “table for two” when one came open. People raised their hands to volunteer to be seated, unclear if there was any association with if or when they had reservations or order of arrival. Because one had to remain near the entry to hear these cattle calls, the mob of waiting customers blocked the door and aisles in the outdoor seating, slowing service dramatically. Customers who were unfortunate enough to have seats in these aisles had waiting customers’ butts in their faces. We waited 25 minutes and left when it was clear we would never be seated without playing the cattle call game. I’ve literally never seen a restaurant manage a crowd so poorly.

Food was "fine". Tables too close to each other. Service was ok. Got best service when we were leaving. Strange ambiance. TVs like a sports bar, but "fancy" otherwise.

We ordered a bottle of wine, an appetizer, and two burgers, but the experience was frustrating from start to finish. The restaurant was overcrowded, and our table was practically in the walkway, with my knee touching the person next to us and servers constantly bumping into my shoulder and chair. First, our appetizer was forgotten and only arrived after we reminded the server we had ordered it. Then, both of our burgers, ordered medium rare with pepper jack, arrived with cheddar instead. Instead of making a fresh one, they simply removed the cheddar, added pepper jack, and recooked the same patty—resulting in a well-done burger with chunks of cheddar still on it. We felt bad, thinking the server might be having an off day, but after politely addressing the issue, they only remade the burger after bringing it to a manager. Even with all the back and forth, there was no offer to remedy or comp anything. For the price, there are plenty of better options with better service and ambiance. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning or recommending this place.

The food was so so. I got veggie pasta for dinner, it was greasy & I got sick later in the night. My stomach was upset for the next couple of days. I think some of the produce used was not fresh. I think this place is overpriced for the food they serve. I usually don’t leave negative reviews but my stomach was upset after I ate here. Hope they use fresher ingredients going forward & use the feedback constructively.
