Since the opening of their acclaimed Restaurant Nicholas in 2000, Chef Nicholas Harary and his wife, Melissa, modernized the concept of fine dining. This mainstay of Red Bank garnered some of the industry’s highest praise, including 15 straight years as Zagat’s highest-rated restaurant in New Jersey, a 4-star review in the New York Times, and a position on several national “best restaurant” lists.

Now, with Barrel & Roost, the couple strips off the white tablecloths and serves up a bold new menu: made-from-scratch food that’s crazy-delicious, yet entirely accessible any night of the week. Set in a newly redesigned modern farmhouse interior, Barrel & Roost is just the place to enjoy Chef Driven Comfort Food with family, old friends, or a grab a drink at the bar for date night!

Nicholas Barrel & Roost consistently impresses with "outstanding service" and "excellent food." Guests rave about the "best burger" and delectable seafood options. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, though some note it can be "very loud." A must-visit for vibrant dining with a diverse menu and attentive staff.

    Had another wonderful meal, cocktails and date night l. Loved the holiday decor and for the first time sat in the covered patio area-we usually reserve a bar high top. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and paced our meal as requested so we were not finishing appetizers when our entrées arrived. We started with our favorite appetizers- crispy bbq ribs and the bread with ricotta. Ribs needed a bit more sauce but were excellent. My husband tried the Bolognese (he usually gets short ribs) which is offered in two sizes. Delicious but we expected the larger portion to be big enough for leftovers but portion was just enough for him. Scraped the plate. I had my usual, the organic chicken. Crisp and juicy as always. Overall a great meal and experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Her advice on the New Fashion was spot on! Burger was excellent. We were put at a table just above the stairs leading to the kitchen which took away from the experience a bit. Also, due holiday, it was full and a fit loud.

    We had a very good time at Barrel & Roost. Food was very good. My husband’s swordfish was cooked to perfection. And he is very cautious about eating fish out. Our server Samantha was excellent. Very accommodating and always checking on us. Kudos to you Sam!

    We’ve been to Nicholas Barrel and roost many times and also restaurant Nicholas several year back before it changed concept Today the service was incredibly poor and took almost 20-25 minutes to just take our food order Service beyond the delay in ordering was also very poor, spotty at best, and a inattentive Really disappointing

    Fabulous holiday brunch. Packed but seamless, efficient, and warm service. Highlight was a butternut squash toast, but everything was delicious. We were the clean plate club. The desserts, especially that apple crisp, were fantastic.
