Team old people were in the area for two days, so just googled restaurants near by. The first review said book in advance because it gets busy, Great advice. We had such great food including one of the best paella I’ve eaten outside of Spain . My wife of Italian decent was impressed by her cheese Manicotti. We were looked after by Jennifer who was absolutely lovely. We were fortunate enough to meet Arber who was such a welcoming host .

Barn Door is such a fun spot with friends. We got a couple pizzas and they were perfect to share. One of us got the Farmhouse Burger, another got the Tuna Burger, and everyone kept stealing bites.
Chill vibe, big portions, and a menu where no one gets left out. Easy place to just eat, hang, and lose track of time.

Took my younger cousins to Barn Door and it was such a good choice. The kids’ menu actually has variety. They all left happy (and full), which rarely happens.

I ordered the Chicken Milanese and it was super crispy and fresh, while my younger brother went for the Branzino and loved it. The staff were patient and easygoing, which made the whole dinner smooth. It’s a nice balance between being casual enough for kids but still feeling like a real sit-down meal....
