Barnhill's Cafe, Bar & Grill

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing.

When we were seated, I slid onto a bench that was apparently broken, something no one mentioned and it snagged and ripped my skirt. That was frustrating and honestly embarrassing.

We were handed two menus and then didn’t see anyone for at least 20 minutes. The restaurant was not busy at all, there were only about four tables seated, so the lack of attention was surprising. Eventually someone stopped by and asked if we had been helped (we hadn’t). She took our order and then disappeared for another 20 minutes with no drinks, no update, no communication.

The table in front of us actually got up and left due to the same lack of service. After waiting and feeling completely overlooked, my husband and I decided to walk out as well.

I understand that restaurants can have off moments, but when it’s slow, there’s really no excuse for broken seating and zero service. I hope management takes this seriously and improves both the condition of their furniture and customer experience.

Great food made from fresh ingredients. Both the pan seared scallops and the filet mignon were very good. The service was spot on and ypu cant beat an ocean view. We will return.

We went for the first time. And I had the Arroz con pollo (chicken and rice). My wife had the shrimp scampy. It was very impressive with all the addons that it came with. Food was really tasty. And great portion so good hungry.
We will go back!

Their Valentine's Day menu, delicious! Their eggplant parmesian was NOT burnt. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The live music, the only singer that can actually sing on that beach!

We arrived at 4pm when they opened. There were only 2 other parties of two in the restaurant, but they seated us right next to the bar without offering us an alternative. Since the restaurant was empty we didn't ask to be moved, but before dinner was over it was crowded and noisy by the bar. The bartender waited on us when we arrived but got too busy to tend to our table, so my husband had to get up and go to the bar and wait to pay his check. The food was overcooked chicken in a soggy crepe with cheese on top. No resemblance to any crepe we had ever had before. Wine was expensive, but a generous pour. We will not return.

We had 12 people for bingo night on Tuesday. The service was absolutely horrible sat there over an hour before we even got a glass of water.. finally we got served everything was messed up nobody got the food at one time/every bill was wrong. Never was asked if we wanted another drink nor was the water refilled. Never again

We had an excellent dinner! Sea bass was so delicious! Waitress seemed a little inexperienced or maybe having an off night. We observed the other waitress giving great service. We had the banana foster crepe for dessert. Huge portion. Glad we split it. It was very good. We will definitely come me back!

a master class in how to ruin a dinner. We showed up for dinner at 7 PM Wednesday night, ordered a cocktail and an appetizer expecting to enjoy our drinks and then order dinner. We were just getting into it and ordered another round of drinks at approximately 8:00. When our bartender brought our second round of drinks we informed her we would like to order dinner, and she matter of factly informed us that the kitchen just closed at 8:00. I looked at my watch and it was exactly 8:04. Let me get this straight: you happily served us a $20 cocktail and a $15 glass of wine, watched us settle in, and at no point thought to mention, “Hey, maybe get those dinner orders in before the chef vanishes like a ghost” At no point did she warn us the kitchen was closing. No, she just smiled, took our drink order, and let us sit there blissfully unaware that dinner was about to be a mirage. Pro tip: if your staff is going to cut off food service at 8:00 on a Wednesday night, before most people even sit down to eat, maybe mention that? Or better yet, don’t take fresh drink orders minutes before the kitchen shuts down. And certainly don't have your custodial staff switching their wet stinky mop around our feet while we're trying to finish what little we did get. The service was clueless, the management nonexistent, and the entire experience could best be described as “starving with style.” We left with empty stomachs, full glasses, and zero desire to ever return.
