I sat alone at the bar. I really enjoyed the nice conversation with the bartender and the local patrons. I ordered one of the mocktails called Virgin Islands and that was damn good. I had raw oysters which were not that good. I was expecting better flavor. They were presented well and shucked cleanly but the taste was not for me. I had the butterscotch dessert. The first few bites were fantastic, but it started to feel kinda heavy and flavorless after a while. It might be good to share or maybe have with a cup of espresso but by itself it didn't keep my attention. The place was really busy on a Thursday night in mid October. I got the last parking spot. I had to wait 5 or 10 minutes for a spot at the bar. Friendly staff and good vibes. I'd go back for the mocktails and conversation for sure.

My favorite place on Cape! Amazing staff who make every meal taste better than the last. Come here if you like good food and great people! (Take-out pizza on Nauset beach is a one-of-a-kind experience)

If i could add more stars I would. I dont know to describe in words how much we love this place. We celebrated our wedding here about a year ago and it was pouring rain but it turned out better than we could have imagined. The food is always phenomenal, drinks are perfect, but most of all - Cam and all the staff always go above and beyond (& more) if possible. Our family flew in from all over the world and everyone still raves about the BNI. We were back this weekend for our one year anniversary and it was just as good as we all remember. This place is so special to us and to everyone who comes here. Love them all and everything about it. Cant wait to bring our future kids here one day. <3 <3

Hostess was cranky and seemed put out that we actually came in on a Thursday at 5 in September without a reservation. Not welcoming at all. Service at table was great. Food was average and menu uninteresting. Local that has tried this place many times over the years, still not impressed at this price point.

Great food. Kenzi was great. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the Cape.

Fish is fresh off the boat.

Bar area is noisy, the captains tables in the back are great for conversation.

Comparable pricing to other restaurants.

Very nice service, food was good pizza crust was delicious, but needed more toppings. It was dark in the section we were seated in. Short ribs were delicious.

This is such a cool spot in Orleans. The atmosphere was very cozy and comfortable. Service was friendly. Drinks were amazing and food was delicious! Only complaint would be on the lobster roll. There was more roll than lobster.

Our bartender Lena was incredibly attentive. She was proactive and often anticipated our needs before we acted. She challenged our conventional orders in a curious manner. Lena shared local recommendations on our request and we cherished our time at BNI. You haven’t experienced Orleans if you didn’t make it to BNI

This is not the place for a lobster roll. $40 for 4 ounces in a huge roll. So many other places to get my fix. I won’t be ordering a lobster roll at the Barley neck Inn anymore.

Had a great evening in the smaller, central bar. The restaurant was packed but our very efficient and pleasant bartender got us drinks right away. She took our order and soon our food was delivered. We ordered the fresh tuna entre, a pizza and salad with salmon. Every bite was delicious. We were checked on and taken very good care of. Will definitely return.
