Barrel, cheese & wine was amazing! I can’t say enough about the service, food and atmosphere. I hosted a party for 12 and the team was so accommodating. They went above and beyond for us and made our party one we will remember for a long time. As far as food goes, I’d recommend everything on the menu. But the feta spread was amazing! For me, the one thing that stood out is that they didn’t have any hidden fees. There were no surprises or special charges bc of our party size and I think that’s so hard to find these days. I can’t wait to go back.

The man who greeted us at the door was extremely rude and uninviting. The service was subpar and they gave MAYBE $2 worth of each cheese. Was extremely underwhelmed and will never be back. Would not recommend. The bread they included was also very weird. It looked like whole grain breakfast toast you would get at a cheap diner.

Food was clearly cheap. Portions were small. We added dry salami to our cheese board for $16 and they gave us 5 pieces

Came on a Monday afternoon. It was dead. The cocktails were pretty tasty, but the music choice didn’t match the ambiance of the restaurant and made our group want to leave.

I came by Barrel for a mid-week date and thought it was perfect. The cheese selections and portions were good. And it was quite enough to have a conversation. I’ll certainly be coming back.

Great ambiance and the music was so good! Perfect Valentine’s/galentines Day place! Great wine selection. Food was good but not enough bread/crackers/veggies for the dips

Very disappointed. This place would be great if you don’t really know wine (enjoy box wine or anything in $10s range) and you are in 20s.
