Food is always on point, our server was great, we have had the same guy a few times in the last year and he did not disappoint once again.

This was my first experience at Barbarella and we had a really great time. The front staff were very accommodating about our sudden reservation change, which we appreciated greatly. Our server, Dominic made sure we caught the last few minutes of happy hour and literally pointed out every dairy-free/friendly option for me. Please extend my gratitude to him, I had no idea there were so many options for me to choose from. Your Jasmine Sage Gimlet was also one of the best drinks I've had. I'm looking forward to my next visit, thank you!

I love the food at barbella. Wait service has also been great however the hostess at the front are quite rude. There were ample tables open yet they insisted they didn't have enough room and made us sit at the bar. I expected better from a restaurant like them

Great service (by Jessica) and happy hour is always a great time to stop in for a small bite and a drink.

Josh was a great server, suggested really good menu options and was quite kind and easy to talk to! The neopolitan dessert was great.

Renee

The service was excellent. Our server was engaged and very helpful as this was our first time here. The food exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic atmosphere. Very high quality food, prepared with great style. Bartending staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made a great Pisco sour.

We have visited a few times. Staff are very welcoming and Service at the bar is typically very good .
This afternoon we dropped in for a couple of drinks and a small apitizer.
Couldn't help but notice a tall dark hair guy walking through the bar and resting on his elbows fingers through his hair yawning?
Looked like his just got out of bed.
Not sure who is managing the restaurant - Seemed like no one was managing at all .
Certianly not Hy's.
Maybe because it is Sunday?
Not impressive.

I am allergic to seafood so there wasn't much on the menu I could eat. The burger was good. Had a really good cocktail.

A crowd-pleaser for groups or parties of two! We've done the private room tasting menu with a group, come for happy hour, and had family birthdays here. We love the sharable appies, pasta, and pizza. The patio is a hit for summer, but lounging by the fireplace is the best seat in the house if you're only having small bites. Located right on Stephen Ave, anytime we have people visiting, we pick Barbarella.

🍴Grady's pick: Spaghetti Limone
🍴Hayley’s pick: Crispy Artichoke, Fried Halloumi
🍴For the table: Tomato & Hazelnut Dip
🍸 Drinks: English Garden + Espresso Martini
🍧 Don't sleep on: Neopolitan Semifreddo
