Barley + Vine Kitchen & Bar

I loved the walleye and it had a good crust on it, the dipping sauce was yummy. My friend got the lobster and shrimp risotto and I tried a bite and it was absolutely delicious, if I go again I will order that! Another friend got the short rib sandwich which was also a hit! Dessert was great too!

While this wasn't our first visit to Barley and Vine, our typical stops usually happen on holidays like Easter or Mother's Day where they have the brunch buffet, so we're usually not ordering off the menu, but this was a special occasion to meet the newborn of one of our good friends over Sunday brunch. Our group of 8 (plus high chair) tried a wide selection of breakfast and lunch menu items, so starting things off with beverages, I was the only one who had the $5 mimosas, while everyone else couldn't resist ordering the drink special of the day: a pumpkin spice espresso martini. Made with pumpkin spice simple syrup, they knocked it out of the park! After drinks, we started off the table with some of their spicy cauliflower (cooked ala boneless buffalo wing style) and cinnamon roll skillet

Food was great! Atmosphere was pretty cool and chill. Considering this spot just opened, the wait wasn't bad. Staff were very engaging.

It’s fine for the area and about what you’d expect, but nothing to write home about. My main issue was the bar. They have an Old Fashioned as a featured drink, but it’s not made right—standard ice and orange slices mixed in. It’s a decent enough spot if you aren't picky, but the cocktail execution is pretty lazy.

Went at lunch, was a calm atmosphere. No wait. Service was excellent. Got a lunch half Ruben, half chicken wild rice soup - both were delicious. Got fish and chips, the fries were amazing. The cod was good, the tartar sauce could have been better. Both meals came quick and were so fresh and warm. The water was the worst part of the experience, not sure if the city water is just that bad or if they need to change out a filter but it was not good. Food, service, and atmosphere was fire.
