   I had a very nice experience. Despite dining as a party of only one, staff was friendly, attentive, knowlegable, and helpful. If I had to quibble about something it would be that the small dinner salad arrived dressed; however I had not specifically requested dressing on the side so really that was my bad. The server was cooperative about pacing the meal as I requested. The food was tasty, arrived at appropriate temperatures. Portions were not huge but very sufficient. I ended up taking half the appetizer and half the entry home to provide a second meal. They have a large selection of distilled beverages available. The ones I tried were excellent and not unreasonably priced. The desert I had (peanut butter pie) would have easily served two people. It was deliciously rich.

   Ordered a Caesar salad and meatballs. Simple portions. Partway through the salad got a long strand of hair in my mouth. That did it. They were very apologetic and brought another salad but I could eat much more knowing I got a hair in my mouth and a long strand to hoot.

   Love love love this place! Such a perfect hideaway. Food is top notch (warm chèvre stuffed warm dates wrapped with bacon) - yum - and vegan (though you can add meat) stroganoff to die for! Sabine gives quietly proactive service with a smile and the imaginative true cocktail menu (I had my very first Vesper - thank you 007!) is the perfect size from which to choose. Happy Valleyers (and beyond) should flock here!

   The food is so overpriced. Decent steak and limp fries. Service was not great and just an awkward ambiance.

   We were celebrating my son in laws birthday and Whiskey Barrel Lounge was his choice based on the recommendations of friends. He loved the large selection of drinks and the special attention he received from staff. Our server, Miles, was very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and we will be returning.

   Wonderful! We celebrated our wedding anniversary and they had a special table waiting with flowers and a happy anniversary greeting. The sever and other employees stopped by to congratulate us and ask if we needed anything. They even served us complimentary champagne!

    The food quality and presentation just wasn’t as good as in the past . Used to be great ! Hoping it was a fluke . I was a bit disappointed . Some of the food was cold Great service, nice attention to diners ! They were very accommodating from reservation thru checkout Dessert was great It’s noisy !! Was busy however maybe part of the issue Valentines weekend I’ll try again because past experiences have been better .
