Restaurants near Rickshaw Theatre

Our server was covering for someone who went home sick. A little overwhelming for her to look after another area. She did not come back to check on how our meals were until we were finished eating. My daughter’s Teriyaki steak was so tough she could barely cut it. This is the steak she normally orders. When I was paying the I mentioned it to our waitress and she said you would have replaced it. That was not the point your steak should not be tough with price you are changing! I was not looking for a reduction on my bill. However, I do expect top quality steaks at the Keg.

Food was great! Service outstanding! Pints de-lish!

As always when we go, dinner was really good! We have our favourite menu items (do not take the ribs off the menu) and we tried a couple new items. The drinks are outstanding. The only down side was that the noise was a little too much but it was the Xmas season and we had a great table at the window. We will return again soon!!

Barbara is a beautiful experience of lovely staff and excellently executed dishes. As mentioned in other reviews, the space is intimate yet stylishly appointed. We wouldn’t have it any other way. In a city where one can have an endless variety of foods, Barbara manages to be quite more than a cut above the rest while remaining true to the vision of the owner/chef, Pat. Literally every single bite of our order: beef tartare, the in-house made stracciatella, the octopus, the celery root and the Arctic char and beef short rib managed to make ingredients we have had before become something special again. Be sure to order an inventive cocktail and save room for the included dessert. Ours was a Concord grape granita with maple drizzle that seemed made for each other. If you’re local or visiting this beautiful city, place Barbara on your list of “not to be missed” restaurants and make this reservations in advance. You’re in for a real treat.

5 Star fine dining experience! The service was superb and the food so delicious!
