Excellent service, food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was inviting. I always enjoy having lunch or dinner here.

The service here is amazing. The atmosphere is very clean, slightly upscale without being stuffy. The food is fine. I’ve been a few times and it’s nothing memorable.

What a much needed transformation. The fancy shtick they had going on didn’t work. This one does. Started with the fried cheese curd with roost sauce. Perfectly fried without being oily. The the bread with ricotta was weak so do not order it. It is just rolls of bread with ricotta in the corner of the plate. Nothing to it. We ordered the salads for dinner and they were delicious. Salads are salad but these were a step above. The chopped salad was the best. I also had no idea Nicholas owns Nicholas Creamery too. We scarfed down the Brownie with peanut butter ice cream. Good job Nicholas on the transformation!

Came at noon on a Sunday for brunch. Parking is free, had to park in lot next door, was not an issue. We were seated immediately-party of 2. This is my 3rd time for brunch, yes its that good. It doesn’t matter what you get, I’m sure it’ll please. Service was pleasant and quick, didn’t rush you.

Love this place. I like to sit at the bar if I can. They have a great cocktail menu and the bartenders are nice and helpful. Definitely get a pizza if you haven’t been here before and check the specials.

Loved it when it was “Nicholas”. Barrel and Roost has great atmosphere and service, but that’s where it ends. My wife surprised me for my birthday as I had been wanting to try it. Upscale restaurant with mediocre food. For the price, you would expect better quality. For starters, we ordered the fried pickles and cheese curd. Both were overly greasy, soggy, and had absorbed a copious amount of oil. There were 5 of us in our party and all said the same thing…. The food was nothing to write home about. We ordered the burger (very dry) braised short ribs (just okay, but have had better), pizza (very bland), salmon (overcooked), and pasta bolognese. All in all, very overpriced restaurant where the food is mediocre and you’re paying for the name, “Nicholas…Barrel and Roost.” How disappointing. There are many other restaurants out there worth trying!!!
