    Great experience Lounge is always a vibe and they have the multi server approach which makes you feel more looked after as a whole. Our server was a little blah and out of the group of people that served us. He was the least attentive. But it still wasn’t a bad experience. I think he was just being outshined by everybody else. Overall, would come back

    Our first visit to Barbarella Bar. Had a table reserved for 4 people but when we arrived, we only needed a table for 2. we were seated upstairs, very close to the lodging couches. the couches were filled with guests. We felt very crammed in our two person table so close to the large crowd. Our server was very friendly but we felt rushed throughout. He asked if we wanted anything to start, literally as we were sitting down. We were eating our starter and he asked what we wanted for main courses. We asked him come back. The meal was wonderful but we weren't quiet finishes and he asked us if we wanted our bill. We asked to see the dessert list first. All in all, the food was fantastic, it seems like a great place, we will be back, we just will ask for a better located table if necessary and hopefully our server wont rush us.

    Hi Carrie, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're disappointed to hear that your visit was not what it should've been and you felt the experience was rushed. We've used this opportunity to provide feedback to our server and hope for another chance to provide exceptional service next time.

    Good restaurant, good food and excellent appetizers. Id go again for drinks and appetizers but not so much for a dining experience - food is good not great.

    The pasta here is second to none and tonight’s service was absolutely outstanding with Paige as our server. I have eaten here a few times but the food and service was just superb tonight. My boss in town from Montreal was impressed and the value was excellent.
