★★★★★ 5.0 Rick Lehman · Apr 2025

This is the best place for a total experience. The atmosphere is amazing. The owner does everything and makes everything special for you and your guest. Parfait is one of a kind chef, wine expert and great human being. Everything dish was tasty and different. We had a cheese and meat plate, salad, pizza and pasta, shared by all of us and everyone was happy and content. The wine selection is hand picked by owner and reasonably priced and excellent in quality. If you haven't experienced barrell 33 you are missing out. We go as often as we can as this is truly a dinner experience and makes you relax and enjoy life as we all should. Thank you Parifait! We love you for being true and real.

Lovely place. The food is amazing! The owner is wonderful and attentive. It is an intimate setting. It is a slower paced place since it is smaller, so plan on taking your time here and enjoy your night!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark McNees · Apr 2025

What an amazing dining experience. The owner, Parfait is a fantastic and gracious host. The food was delicious. We decided to order family style, so we could try lots of dishes. We got the cheese plate to start, then the Barrel 33 salad and pizza, and a smoked salmon pene. So good!

Let me start off with the obvious: this place is not cheap. 1 appetizer, 2 mains, dessert, wine, tax, dessert ... almost $200. IT IS WORTH IT. The food is superb and not oversized servings. The patio setting is fantastic (it could use more regular tables instead of low/benches for plating). And the owner takes extreme pride in serving and getting to know every guest. There is no rushed feeling; in fact, it is the opposite. No one under 21 allowed (so no kids); fantastic for date night or small groups. Parking can be hard to find. Reservations REQUIRED.

OMG what an amazing restaurant and experience. The owner Parfait welcomes you and makes you feel so welcome that you leave feeling as a you are departing from a dear friend's house. The food was so above and beyond! We started with the Canard Pate and a French wine. I have not had that wonderful a pate since my time in France. The Barrel 33 Salad was just what I love with nuts, fruit and vinegarette. We both had pasta. I had the Russian Penne and my wife had the White and Blue Penne. Both were great with a lot of flavor layers. The pasta was cooked perfectly. To finish we had the Petite Fantasy. Chocolate overload in the best way possible. What was great was that we were joking with Parait about my wife's love for whipped cream. 5 mins later after the dessert, he brought her a bowl of
