We had an amazing meal and wonderful service. I love that when I leave there I feel great as the food is so healthy and delicious, many layers of amazing flavors to each dish we ate.
Thanks Brie and Barrel for the Amazing food and service ❤️
Wow! What a brilliant restaurant, a must try if you’re in town. The only thing better than the food here is the management, we tried almost everything and didn’t have a single bad bite. I’d recommend the flat bread, but I haven’t had olives like this since I left the Middle East. Delicious, will definitely be back.
