We came as the first table on Sunday noon for lunch. They share the kitchen with Urge so you have more food options which is nice. I ordered a Fig & Pear pizza with a salad on the side and my husband ordered a Brisket Dip with soup on the side. Both foods flavors are nice. The only issue was my pizza’s dough is slightly undercooked on the side. I told the waitress and they waived the cost for pizza for us! That’s unexpected but they are really friendly to us. We left a nice tip for them, as they were very nice and their foods taste pretty decent.

Delicious food. French onion soup, pastrami sandwich and burgers all very good. Service was a little lacking.

Another great visit , great service, upbeat, and helpful staff. Food was served with a smile, hot and cold when ordered that way. We will continue to be customers and spread the word about this establishment. We recommend the barrel 100%

Have been going to this place with friends and office colleagues for long time. We have enjoyed happy hours, dinners and late night glass of wine here many many times. It's always a good experience. I took my wife and kids there for dinner last night. Kids loved the place and enjoyed their food alot. Food quality, service and wine selection, all very good.

I took my servers advice and went for the Short Rib Pappardelle (Braised Short Ribs, Mushrooms, Fresh Peas, Ricotta Cheese). Once the braising liquid mixed with the ricotta cheese it coated the wide noodles beautifully! A bite of that with chunk of melt in your mouth short rib... Yum.

I had been to the barrel room before, but this time it was to host a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents. The manager, Christina was so incredibly helpful and kind in helping me plan for this! She went above and beyond and so did her staff every step of the way. We used their outside courtyard area that is away from the main restaurant in between urge and the barrel room. It was just right and the weather was perfect so everything went beautifully! The food was perfect as well as the service, and everyone had the best time! Thanks again Christina and Staff!!!

Food was excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner here. We are from out out of town and came across this place randomly. Very glad we stumbled upon it.
