Since the opening of their acclaimed Restaurant Nicholas in 2000, Chef Nicholas Harary and his wife, Melissa, modernized the concept of fine dining. This mainstay of Red Bank garnered some of the industry’s highest praise, including 15 straight years as Zagat’s highest-rated restaurant in New Jersey, a 4-star review in the New York Times, and a position on several national “best restaurant” lists.

Now, with Barrel & Roost, the couple strips off the white tablecloths and serves up a bold new menu: made-from-scratch food that’s crazy-delicious, yet entirely accessible any night of the week. Set in a newly redesigned modern farmhouse interior, Barrel & Roost is just the place to enjoy Chef Driven Comfort Food with family, old friends, or a grab a drink at the bar for date night!

    Have wanted to dine here for a long time based on reputation. Our meal was disappointing. The famed “delicious burgers” were watery like the meat had been frozen and they were tasteless. The pomme frites were not thin and crisp as they should be. They were hand-cut fries - some thick, some small bits. Some were soggy, others burnt. Our server was polite but never checked in to ask how our food. The ice tea was like colored water, no tea flavor. At $62 for two burgers, one order of fries and one ice tea, they need to deliver a better burger. I will not return.

    The halibut sauce was quite smoky. Everything else was great.
