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!

    Saw the reviews and decided to try this with family . Place was crowded and parking lot filled at lunchtime. Three of us spent a total of $125 for lunch…. Three soups… and two got the fish sandwiches which came with a side mixed green salad. I got the shrimp taco which came with nothing except three small tacos and a splatter of pico . No sides no salad or fries. Just seemed the portion was very small and really was expecting more for what we paid.

    Great food, service, and atmosphere. However, music is to loud and can’t hardly hear your party conversations. I asked to lower it a pinch and that didn’t happen. Not a good place to socialize at the table. Better at the bar to do that.

    Excellent food from start to finish. Great energetic vibe, service was spot on and the whole experience did not disappoint. Thie version of an Old Fashioned (termed New Fashioned) on their menu was the best I have had. Steak and Halibut both perfectly cooked.

    Restaurant was busy, our service was slow and, at times, inattentive. The food was delicious, lived up to the hype.

    There is nothing better than a menu with the right balance of options, consistently excellent food, top notch service, and an ambiance fit for all levels of revelry. Nicholas may not be in the kitchen as much as the old days, but he makes up for that as the consummate, colorfully shirted host. Plus where else can you still dine under holiday lights in January? And where else can you get the best ice cream in the world that is loved by all?

    The food is very good. The service is great! Sam, our waitress, was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is energetic, and the drinks are excellent. The fact that the place was packed for a Sunday brunch speaks for itself!
