The Barn is one of Block Island's best kept secrets. This unique dining venue features an open kitchen and a wood fired grill, which creates wonderful flavors that cannot be duplicated at home. As soon as you step into the Barn, you immediately feel welcomed. A combination of our culinary staff cooking right in front of you and the intimate ambiance creates a perfect evening. ** Reservations are highly recommended and credit cards may be taken to hold your time. A $100 charge will be incurred if a reservation is not canceled within 8 hours of your scheduled arrival time. This setting is designed for a quiet dining experience for adults and children above the age of 12 only.
Respectful dress required. **

Please be aware of booking counter top seating. Please know if you do make a "counter top" reservation, this will be at our Chef's Bar, which will be at bar stool height.

    The Barn is always a favorite on Block Island. The best place for a good steak and a martini.

    The Barn, especially in winter, is like visiting a friend’s home. Annie, working the very cosy bar as you enter, is there to welcome everyone, whether an islander, a weekender or a lucky newcomer just discovering the island..bound to meet someone, an old friend or a new one, food is season suitable and good..always a special or three, prepared by a trio of chefs in an open kitchen. Julie served us tonight..prompt, good at her job, and just chatty enough, she managed our meal perfectly.. A lovely evening

    Delicious. Best gnocchi dish and had the salmon the night before. The Barack and bleu martini is a must have. Love this place!

    We had an amazing dinner in the newly enclosed patio. We always enjoy a night out at the Barn when we are vacationing on BI.
