    By far, the best prepared food I have ever experienced when dining out. ….. and I eat out regularly. I was seated at the counter area overlooking the chefs cooking station, and I loved it…watching them prepare every meal. It’s tight, so you are very close to your neighbor…. But I didn’t mind. The staff is exceptional! I wish The Barn wasn’t on an island…. I would dine there every week!!!

    Our bartender Reb was professional, warm and very polite and took great care of us. The hostess, Sylvia was equally warm, friendly with a genuine smile! Our server Payton was also equally warm, friendly and a true professional. Food was five stars and same for ambiance on the outdoor terrace. We will return again and again! Fantastic experience.
