   Excellent service with very pleasant atmosphere. Shrimp appetizer very well presented and excellent taste. All of the food was appropriately prepared to our request. Portions were appropriate. Wine selections complimented that food choices.

   We had a lovely experience. The food was amazing, and the four of us enjoyed a few hours of food and conversation that we cherish. The people who served our meal were professional and attentive. The kitchen seemed to be somewhat slow, likely due to trying to accommodate larger parties and a restaurant filled to capacity for well over two hours. I highly recommend Butcher and Barrel, and I know that experience in their new, larger venue will soon have that kitchen humming again!

   We chose to visit the Butcher & Barrel for a special occasion, and it was absolutely worth it. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance left a great impression on us. The furniture is stylish and blends together beautifully. Additionally, the friendly staff gave us excellent advice and recommended the perfect wine to pair with our dinner. The food was truly delicious, with the meat cooked to perfection. The gravies had a deep, rich flavor and complemented the dishes wonderfully. Portions were quite generous, leaving us completely satisfied. On top of that, the price level was absolutely reasonable for the quality and quantity we received. When compared to top-tier restaurants, the Butcher & Barrel is very close to entering that league. Considering their short history and the fact that the restaurant has just recently opened, I am confident they’ll reach that level soon. We’re already looking forward to returning and enjoying another wonderful evening there.

   We had the pork chop, salmon, and beef short rib. Great portion size, exceptional preparation, presentation and perfectly blended flavors. Exceptional Cosmos. Well made desserts, and coffee served in a French press at the table

   The Host was Great she picked up the slack of our waiter. I don’t recommend the Deviled Eggs as an appetizer and our food was COLD. Veggies were dead my girlfriend spoke to the waiter about it and he brought out a hot fresh vegetable Medley that looked amazing and tasted even better than what we were served. My ribeye was also over cooked. I give the food 3.5 stars out of 5. The place has a great vibe and a lot of potential.

   First time at the new location on Main Street. Great atmosphere and service! Tried the Brussels & Bacon appetizer (excellent) and Crusted Chicken Breast (also excellent).

   this was our first visit back to the restaurant since its relocation. while i was sad that one of my faves from the old menu- the wings appetizer- was gone, i was happy to see the new options available, such as the risotto. i had the pan seared sea scallops, which, despite each scallop having various levels of seasoning, were decent. high praise goes to the butcher block appetizer and the ambiance. it’s still the same cozy ambiance i remember from the previous location, and i will definitely be back to try the other new menu items.

    Filet was a little overdone for my liking. Knife I chose was dull. Menu was a little bit confusing, as I'm used to everything being a la carte. Server was good. Not a bad meal, just good.
