   My first time at Barterhouse and I loved everything we ordered. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and it was beautiful! The hush puppies were delicious and the fresh catch with butternut squash was so good. I’ll definitely be going back!

   I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I feel like this place is deserving. We chose this restaurant because we saw the Christmas decorations. We sat at the bar for a few drinks before moving to our table. The Old Fashion was great and the girls really enjoyed the “Cindy Lou”. When we decided to move to the table we were greeted by the friendliness waitress. We ordered a few appetizers but I would say that the bursts with duck prosciutto was the winner. For Dinner it was a toss up between the short rib dish and the Sea Bass. Although the smash burger was pretty good also. Looking forward to our next visit.

   Our service was exceptional, food was very good. The seafood basket is enough for 2 people to share. Would go again

   We came for the Christmas bar and it was very festive, but the drinks were $15 each and definitely did not stand up to the hype. The appetizers were bland and lacking flavor. Honestly, I was just very disappointed. Service was good, but the food and drinks were not.

   Made the reservation a while ago because it was booking up. Called to see if we could add one more person and was given a hard time because they were overbooked and they didn’t want it to be a fire hazard so we were OK with that. When we arrived There were hardly any tables with people at them. The service was super slow. Our server would come and take a couple of us and then run away before she had the order of the whole table. The food was just mediocre and the prices were pretty expensive. There wasn’t even a lot of Christmas decor, which is Why we came. It was just a disappointing unexpected experience.

   Drinks and the smores dessert were good! Drinks were very strong and pre batched so no adjustments could be made. Not a big deal though. The service was just not good at all. Wouldn’t recommend if you are just going for drinks and dessert our server was not present because of what I assume was our not ordering food! It wasn’t busy at all either.

   our server was great, he tried his best to make our experience a good one. we went for dessert and half of the dessert was already gone, what we actually ordered was terrible. comparable to cruise food. we tried to order a coffee or espresso and they didnt have any but they had espresso martinis on the menu. i thought it would be more festive inside and it was subpar, over all not the worst experience but definitely no need to ever revisit.

    Food was good. A little frustrated when first arrived friend asked waitress for Cindy Lou drink since she asked if anyone wanted anything yet. 15 minutes later after another friend arrived, the waitress came back asked if anyone wanted anything. We was puzzled because the first drink still didn't arrive. Also, ordered The Old Fashion, that was not even half glass full for $15.00. That's an icon drink ordered all the time, so we know how it is suppose to come. The Grinch if it was a martini just tasted like mint with no vodka. My drink was empty and waitress never asked if I wanted another one, she just came and took my empty glass and left. So drinks were mehh, but the food was very good. Even though what we wanted they ran out of and didn't have. It definitely didn't look as festive as portrayed on Instagram, seemed Instagram post had more lights and decor and trees lit than when we went. Trees were not lit and half the decor is not what it seemed online. Needless to say it was ok, not what we expected, and what we wanted to eat they didn't have, which is what we were looking forward to when we reserved. Waitress was not very attentive but she was nice. I don't think we will go back but if we do, we will just sit at the bar, they seemed happier when we passed.
