    Food was excellent but if you get the seafood tower, make sure you count the items as we were short on the shrimp and the oysters. Entrees were excellent. Service was lacking. Waiter seemed like he was doing us a favor by serving us.

    We had a great 10 year anniversary dinner, I ordered a couple Rockefeller Oysters to start which was amazing, then a cup of Lobster Bisque (amazing), then I had the Lobster Roll and Truffle fries which was also AMAZING! My wife had the Butternut Squash Risotto and said it was so good! Ended with some great desert with Crème Brûlée and Carrot cake, both amazing! Would come back in a second!

    Great steak, some of the best oysters I have had. The bar area seating a bit noisy but the "main" dining area are outstanding, quiet and perfect for a great dining experience. Service has always been great and always look forward to returning when we are back in Door County.

    Not what it used to be. Dining experience was far below their normal standard. We visit Door County 2 to 3 times a year. We have always made it a priority to eat at Barringer’s each time. Their crab cakes have always set the gold standard for crab cakes. Round ball shaped with chunk crab and minimal amount of filler and deep fried to perfection. Amazing! However, this time the cakes were flat with a minimal amount of shredded crab and a maximum amount filler. They were flat, mushy, panfried things. They seem to be trying to cut cost without maintaining quality. Extremely disappointed. Barringer’s has fallen from a must go dinning place to a place we will avoid. My wife’s chicken dish’s recipe had also changed. The plus factor was also missing. But that’s another story.

    Extraordinary risotto with perfectly cooked salmon. The carrot cake is the best I ever had in my 80 years. The halibut perfectly cooked and side simple salad perfect compliment. Burcu was just lovely. Suggested a perfect chardonnay wine. The dinner is a very happy memory. I will be returning next year hoping to see Burcu. Happy Dining to all.

    We arrived early to have a drink before dinner. Checked in for our reservation at the podium and was told we could wait for our table outside by the fire. Unfortunately we were forgotten out there. Hopefully this was just a fluke because we did enjoy our dinner and had good service otherwise.

    House Chardonnay at $22/glass? The waitress asked us to order right away since it was Fall Fest weekend. BUT the food came RIGHT AWAY as well. Underdone and cool scallops and undercooked crab cakes. Both sent back for more cooking. The carrot cake for dessert was not at all sweet (no real flavor at all!) and that white stuff between layers did not taste like cream cheese frosting. It looked and tasted very different than the carrot cake we have ordered there in the past. While we live here in Door County and used to like dining at Barringers, this dinner as a whole was way too expensive overall, and disappointing for what we received. My friend Carol and I agreed that we won't be including Barringer's in our dining schedule anytime soon.

    The dining experience is wonderful. The food and service is the best I have experienced in a long time. Barringers is in my list to have dinner every time I am in Door County.
