  • 3/5 Joe K. 3 months ago on Google • 1094 reviews New
    Slow service and food was just ok. adding a bit more details based on the restaurants response and request. We came with a large party of about 20 people and it took over 15 min to get our first drink orders in let alone any appetizers. The restaurant was pretty empty as it was around 6pm . The service was painfully slow to the point We tried to walk up to the bar and order drinks for a table of 20 but we were told to wait for a server which we couldn't locate. We ordered 3 each of the meatballs, brussel sprouts , deviled eggs and calamari. The deviled eggs never came out. After about an 45m and barely 1 round of drinks we couldn't even get water refilled or order our food. We walked constantly around the restaurant to look for a manager or a server . Finally our server took our order and the food came out but during our long wait we had to again find our server in the restaurant and ask for water refills and a few more round of drinks... During our meal same situation.. no checking up on us and we ran out of water and drinks... when we got up we were pretty much the only table with maybe 2 other tables .. Also the restaurant has turned the lights on off several times probably signaling us to leave or that the kitchen was closing around 9-9:30 when the restaurant doesn't close until midnight. Overall we were out by 10pm. Lost oppty for the restaurant to maximize revenue and provide decent service as most of the 20 folks all work right in Rosslyn and haven't been here before .

    I highly recommend Barley Mac - a very high end restaurant with a large variety of great and popular dishes! The general manager, Sam was very respectful, warming and polite. The servers are very knowledgeable on their menu, and are sure to assist if you are unsure what you’re into that day. The bar itself is one of the best bars I’ve been at in the DMV. 10/10 - will be back again!

    my family and i are visiting the area and we had a great experience here! the food was super good and the pricing matched the portion sizes. (i got the southwest chicken salad, delicious and super filling.) the food also came out super quick! our server was super sweet and attentive! we finished off with the gelato which was to die for and very nicely presented! definitely recommend this spot! “even the water was good” - my mom

    Hardly anyone in the restaurant but had to wait for host to seat us management happen to see we were waiting so long very kind to make sure we were good. Food was alright the crab mac had very little crab on it and the mac itself did not have much taste but looked very good. Would not buy again. $60 after tip for 2 sandwiches and some tasteless mac and cheese.

    Decided to check this spot out for brunch. Waited for about 15 mins before a waitress approached. She was efficient but not very friendly so will chunk that up to the restaurant being busy. We both ordered the fried chicken sandwich and shared the French toast..food was pretty good. The passion fruit mojito was so good though and only 4 dollars. I may return if I'm in the area but service could be improved.

    This place has the potential to be awesome. However, it missed the mark a bit. I got the Brussels sprouts. They were ok...really tough and not a lot of flavor. They would be awesome if they had a sweet, spicy, smoky butter sauce. Goat cheese bruchetta was nice. The burger was not anything memorable. I was hoping for more. Cheesecake was yummy.

    Went here twice. Steak is good, and its portion is satisfying. The grilled octopus is just so-so. The waiter was really nice and helpful.

    The server was kind but never really checked on us (luckily, we didn't need anything). I'm unsure if they offered free refills on pop or not because I only ever got the first glass. The buffalo mac was delicious! It came in a tiny skillet, but it was plenty of food (deceiving portion upon first glance).

    Stopped by with a couple of friends for a casual late lunch couple of days ago and the food was amazing. Our server was very good and recommended drinks and appetizers that came out quickly. The mains came along quickly as well and were very good, burgers and sandwich were nice and juicy and the fries are just perfect! Overall great experience with a swanky ambience that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for! Will be back very soon! Highly recommended.

    Very tasty food we had the steak and fries , perfect portion and the steak was cooked perfectly and we had the chicken dish that had a great taste and the side of calamari which was delicious too! Definitely recommend for a date night or a family gathering

    Sharron our server was such a delight! She provided exceptional recommendations. The breakfast gnocchi is creative, delicious and a home run on their brunch offerings!
