This was a birthday party for a friend with two other friends in attendance. The food and drinks were excellent. The extra cake for the birthday was also great and appreciated. Our waiter and all of the other staff watched over us and kept everything going. It was a great time and we are expecting to return.

We had a very nice meal at Barrel & Bushel. I have attended several group events at this restaurant. I love the location and the food is amazing as well. This time my group was larger than expected. The sever could have been more attentive, but I realize that a large group was not an easy task. I will definitely return.
