    A wonderful restaurant tucked into a busy parking lot but once you enter you are instantly transported to a very classy and laid back environment. Food is excellent, specialty drinks and desserts delicious, I recommend making a reservation on line especially on a weekend the line was out the door when we were leaving. Bon appetite

    First time going to Barnwood Grill. BG offered good food & drinks, a nice atmosphere that is not too noisy, and solid service. Where I think they really differentiate themself in an area where there are a ton of very similar restaurants is how much more reasonably priced their menu options are vs. the rest. We had a great night and will be working this restaurant into our rotation. Was surprised to that the restaurant closed at 10pm though.

    Checks on the boxes on an excellent dining experience. From out of town, but we make it a point to return here when in the neighborhood. Thumbs up.

    We had a 5pm reservation on a Friday night. My husband and I got there early, the other party was late but we gave the hostess a heads up. We went to the bar for a cocktail. The bartenders were very friendly. Af5er the other party arrived we went o our table. Our waitress was super nice. Everytime she came to our table she had a big smile on her face. We all loved our food (steaks, salads, seafood), everything was cooked very well. We even got dessert which was also amazing. We will definitely be back and will recommend it to others.
