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.

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.

    We have loved the Spring House, and had heard the annex, "The Barn," praised. But when we went there for our anniversary we were disappointed by the food. The brussells sprouts were underdone; my drink was weak; the pasta was ordinary. We did not order desserts because our server (excellent, by the way) told us that the desserts were supplied by Cysco, and so not made locally, but instead just came from a factory. It didn't wreck our anniversary, but sure didn't add to it.

    The Barn has been consistently fabulous since it has opened. We have eaten here numerous times and the chef obviously has high standards and prioritizes using local seasonal meat and produce. Well done!

    The setting is quaint but in good condition. The salmon was just right, the onion soup not too salty. Good wine, friendly staff. It's a little hard to find at night but Wayz got us there.
