“Always a great experience when I come to the barrow house. Recently we came for the roasted pig dinner for my husband’s birthday and they didn’t disappoint! Chef Sanz is a remarkable chef who puts a lot of TLC in making great tasting food. The staff and the atmosphere is always exceptional. Great place for special occasions and date nights.”
“During our trip we were just looking something for lunch and found such an interesting place… Looks like a barn outside , abandoned with pilled paint, and so atmospheric inside. Good cuisine, everything is fresh. Chicken wings and beefsteak were great. We didn’t wait so long. Plenty space of parking behind the building. I definitely recommend this spot for your family to visit. Prices are fair and competitive. The host had us to wait despite there were a lot of available tables, have no idea why, so we spent some time in the bar .”
“Came for a wedding, and then fell in love with the venue. The barn was the perfect place for the 17 person event - high ceilings, string lights, big windows and skylights, rustic furniture and lots of hanging flora. Fans and open doors let the fresh air in, and helped make an refreshing environment. The staff was wonderful. Checked in frequently, answered questions, made sure we were always given the opportunity to try more than enough of all their amazing drinks. Also, on a personal level, I needed a private room for myself for about 20min during the event, and they were quick to close off an entire section of the restaurant for me. Also noticed their bathrooms had legit changing tables (things you never realized until you become a parent), so bonus points for that. The food was fun. The set menu doesn't look like too much at first (cornbread, salad, cheeseburger, cookies) but each of the courses had something unexpected to make it taste AMAZING. I'm talking about fresh butter honey, secret aioli sauce, salted chunks. Kept the conversation going back to how surprisingly good the meals were. Bonus points for their interesting cocktails (Spicy Sonrisa) and apparently "one of the best drink's I've ever had" (Sugar Daddy - according to the whiskey lover at the table). This is one of those places that anyone can easily spend an entire day at.”
“I contacted the venue to arrange our wedding reception, and the person who assisted us was Elisa. She was very attentive, answered all my questions, whether by email or phone, and we were able to schedule a time with her to visit the space we had chosen. We were warmly welcomed and fell in love with the environment and the décor; it was exactly what we needed: a beautiful room to hold our small wedding ceremony and reception. We organized a cocktail reception for the wedding night, which was selected and reviewed in advance by us and the staff. On the day itself, everything was flawless. The service was provided exactly as agreed, and all the employees were extremely kind and attentive. In short: our experience at The Barrow House was incredible from beginning to end! Bonus: the venue has a photo booth, which made our event even more special.”
“This place is rustic charm. Converted 1700 farm house I think. Super quaint and cozy around the holiday time, I love the trees and decorations they put up. We had a reservation on a Sunday for brunch and we were more than 15 min late. They were very nice about it and sat us anyway. It wasn’t too crowded but it did seem like they had a private party upstairs. No one ever came over to us for 20 min and I had to flag someone down. They took our order and then switched the server mid way. Our drinks didn’t come out for 15 min. Very slow service. At least they didn’t rush us, I do prefer sitting and catching up with friends. But would have liked a bit more attentiveness. I also noticed a good runner constantly bringing food to the wrong table and asking tables if it was their food, which is not very professional so they seemed pretty unorganized. I got the egg nog drink and it was in a cute Santa mug and tasted like I was drinking the holidays. Sweet and creamy, but there were three huge ice cubes that took up too much of the mug. The cornbread is very dry. I needed to put a lot of butter on it. My friends and my husband liked their food. I really liked my chicken and waffles. The fried egg was a nice touch. Just enough food. And it came out piping hot. Juicy white meat chicken fried perfectly, and the waffle was fluffy and not too sweet. Good tasting maple syrup as well. My husband’s burrata was delicious, so were the autum deviled eggs. The eggs were a little too sweet but very creamy and good consistency. A little on the pricier side at $50ish a person for a drink, entree and shared app for brunch. I would come here again though, nice place to catch up with friends. We had a very nice time! And I like the little lounge sitting area on the side, again just very quaint and homey.”
