    We love the view and decor of the Barley Beach House. It is a lovely setting right on the beach in Rye, with decor that is so relaxed you feel like you have been transported to Malibu. The server was very friendly and did a good job. The brussel sprout appetizer was delicious and our entrees were quite good (avocado toast and a chicken sandwich). Our only issue was with the music that didn’t quite fit the vibe for Sunday brunch, as they were blaring 80s music. We were thinking a steel drum band, Caribbean music or some acoustic type music would have been a better choice… and definitely not so loud. Otherwise we loved the view and experience overall. It was nice to be able to walk along the beach afterwards. We will be back!

    We were very disappointed of our dining. The location is beautiful, but it doesn't make it up for the poor service and dining experience. We had reservation and waited 10 minutes to be greeted. A server finally noticed us and went to get the manager. The place was empty and the manager asked us to wait a bit more. I think he was cleaning tables. We sat outside and the table was not cleaned. We noticed people were waiting for their food and placed our full order when the server came. My meal was perfect. I had the Skirt steak. My husband’s meal was not cooked. He ordered a Bratwurst that was raw in the middle. We waited for the waitress who never came by, but we got the attention of another waiter who got the manager. The manager apologized and comped the meal and my husband’s drink, which we appreciated. They can do better.

    Unfortunately the waitress ruined my experience at the Barley hose in Rye because she did not bring me my dinner. There was 6 people and only served 5 dinners. What made it worse, they still took a 20 percent tip on the bill without our consent because it is probably policy with a 6 person reservation. The waitress said the manager would take care of the situation but still took a 20 percent tip with bad service. How is that justified or fair. Why should I tip 20 percent on bad service. I do like this place but this is unacceptable. The manager did not do anything to rectify this but this is how society is now.

    View was fabulous after that down hill. Had to pay to park which at a restaurant at that price point is annoying. View great which is why I feel they are still in business. Had to ask multiple times for plates, napkins and water. My meal was not what I ordered told waitresss, after we could get her attention twice. She replied kitchen said it is correct but it wasn’t. I felt at that price point my meal should have been taken off bill but wasn’t. Disappointed as it was for a birthday celebration we wouldn’t go back

    Really disappointing experience, especially because the location and ambience are absolutely beautiful. We waited over an hour for our kids’ meals, with repeated explanations from our waiter about issues with the kitchen and the ordering system. Their food finally arrived, but after waiting another 30 minutes with no sign of our meals, we asked to cancel the rest of the order and left. What was most disappointing wasn’t even the long wait. Things happen, kitchens get backed up, systems go down. It was the complete lack of effort to make the situation right. There was no meaningful apology, no manager checking in, and no real acknowledgment that after an hour and a half, half of our table still hadn’t been served. We ended up going home and ordering pizza. Thankfully our kids had eaten, but definitely not the evening we had planned. It’s such a shame because the setting is fantastic and we really wanted to love this place. With better communication, service, and some basic hospitality when things go wrong, this could have been a very different experience.

    Sat down at 7:30. Not a single waiter or other worker came over to us for the next 30 minutes except for bringing us water. We then asked a waiter if we can order and they said they will be right with us. Another 10 minutes went by with no service and then we left.
