    Absolutely wonderful dinner. The cocktails with the meal were outstanding and every plate was delicious. The lobster dip was excellent and the steak was tender and perfectly cooked. I went for my birthday dinner and try to dine here at least once a year.

    This was a Prelude dinner with friends and as usual it was a wonderful experience. I got to meet some new staff I hadn’t met before because it was oh so busy, and everyone was on to lend a helping hand to get the food out, drinks delivered with the usual exemplary service the White Barn is famous for. My dear friends enjoyed their first experience at one of our favorite local restaurants. We’ve often told our employees in the past, a true test of excellence is grace under pressure. You got this! Can’t wait to return!
