   We had some pasta, a caesar salad and the broccoli. All were excellent, and perfect for sharing.

   My group had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite reserving a table through OpenTable—where my profile is set for lounge seating—we were given an unsuitable table. If they require a credit card to charge for cancellations or no-shows, they should also ensure proper seating arrangements. I was hosting a client and felt embarrassed by the table offered. The host was rude and told us it would be an hour’s wait for another table. Only when the manager got involved was a different table suddenly available. Service was slow and far from hospitable. Given their high prices and pretentious attitude, the experience did not match the expectations. I do not recommend this place for business meetings.

   Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry we couldn't seat you at your desired table this time around. We appreciate your understanding that while a reservation guarantees a table, and we try our best to accommodate your noted seating preference, it's not guaranteed. If you'll like to discuss your visit further, one of our managers would be happy to reach out. You can connect with us at info@barbarellabar.ca. We hope for another change to provide a better experience!

   Barbarella is my go to place for business lunches when in the area. I have been numerous times and the food/service never disappoints.

   Happy hour at Barbarella is fantastic. Our bartender, John, helped us choose a beautiful red wine that paired well with our pizza, and both were 50% off for happy hour. The restaurant is lively, but the noise level is low enough that it makes conversation easy. Great for a date night or meeting with friends.

   Jax was our server and he was wonderful. My husband and I both had different pastas that were delicious and the calamari is the best I have ever had

   Food was fantastic, as was the service. The price of a glass of wine is completely absurd. $33 for an 8 oz glass of wine...this is completely insane.
