We attended the End of the World eclipse event. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the drinks were good. The venue is a great place to sit outside and enjoy your food or indoors has a cool vibe. I highly recommend going to Cork and Barrel!

Yesterday, 3/30/24, I was attending my friend's birthday dinner. The reservation was at 5:30, and it was around 6:30 when we were completely acknowledged by our server. We were given our drinks around 5:45 in plastic/outside cups even though we were sitting inside. We were not offered refills or even silverware for over an hour. Our reservation was for 7 people, and we only had 6 chairs at the table. We needed to make the reservation for 8, and when we asked our server if we could get the other chairs, he got extremely hostile and told us that we need to ask the host for chairs. As he was telling us this, he was drinking and eating. Another server or employee overheard us asking for more chairs and while our server was refusing due to "the place being fully booked the whole night", the other employee brought us two chairs. We thanked him and as he was placing down the chairs, DANNY/D was cursing at the employee. This was around 6 pm. At 6:30, we tried to get our server, Danny/Daniel's attention while he was standing and talking at the bar so we could order and get refills on our drinks, but he decided to roll his eyes at us and ignore us. We saw another server placing silverware at other tables so we were able to get her attention and ask for silverware. She then realized that most of us were done with our drinks, we had no menus, were given the wrong cups, and she went to get our server. As she is talking to us, trying to grasp the situation, our server storms over and starts shouting "What's the problem, What's the problem here!". We inform him that we are just trying to get drinks and silverware because we have been sitting here patiently for an hour. He then points at one of us and shouts "What time did YOU get here??", and various other words. I assume another employee heard/saw the commotion and they got the manager. The manager arrived and was confused as to what the issue was, and we explained to her that what had been going on. She agreed to switch our servers, and in response to that, Danny/Daniel said "You guys are F*cking *ssholes.", and that we were "too needy." We were confused as to what we did wrong, but the other server reassured us. Every time our previous server would walk by us, he would curse or get extremely close to us, even though we politely asked him to back away. While Danny/Daniel was cleaning up tables, he would eat off of the plates of the customers that had just left (disgusting). Our night went okay after that, but we were missing a meal. Every time we tried to get our current server's attention, our previous server would pull her away. We had all finished our food by the time the manager came to our table for the second time that night and told us that she would get our friend's food as soon as possible. We asked our server if there was some way that we could get a refund for at least the meal that was missed due to the customer service and the entire environment being dreadful, and we were told that the manager would more than likely not allow for it. It was extremely disappointing. I had been to this restaurant twice in the past and I had a pleasant experience. I do not know if yesterday was a "rough" day, but we all will not be returning.

It’s not acceptable to serve frozen TV-dinner food and charge $17 for it.I used to love this place, which is why I went there again. But today it feels like a completely different restaurant. I ordered a beer ($10) and an entree ($17), the waitress brought the beer in a plastic disposable cup (wasn’t this last time, but ok). Then my food came, it was a lukewarm TV-dinner from the grocery store frozen aisle, they didn’t even bother to take it out of the microwave-safe container (see photo).I spent $30 to visit an up-scale looking restaurant but I ended up eating cold-in-the-middle TV-dinner with a plastic fork, and drinking beer out of a disposable cup.I don’t think I will go back to this place again, it’s a shame because I used to love it.P.S. the food pictures on here are not at all what they served. See my photos for the actual food from tonight (one was what I ate, the other was from the customer sitting next to me). I don’t understand how they can get away using these fake photos to advertise.

Came here to have an enjoyable evening, but I guess the St. Patrick's holiday caused some issues.Our server was sweet. However, their system was having issues authorizing Chase cards, so my card was swiped 5 or 6 times, and my husband's card once, before we were asked for a different card.The menu was fixed, and "limited" for the holiday, in terms of food. They charged $17 for a microwaved shepherd's pie (it was brought out in an oven tin, as pictured). It was very small and NOT worth $17.I had ordered the Irish sausage with Guinness onion gravy, garlic mashed potatoes and peas ($16 IIRC). However, they brought the wrong food item to me TWICE (a very overcooked burger, and a Reuben, all in paper boat dishes). When my food eventually made it to my table, my peas were clearly frozen and barely done (ate them first to get them out of the way), the mashed potatoes were a clump under the small breakfast-sized sausages, and I had maybe a teaspoon of gravy. The sausage links (3x) were the length of my index finger (about 3 inches).The kitchen was just dishing out their fixed meals and placing them on shelves for waiters and waitresses to pick up for whatever table they were serving. Again, everything was served in paper boat dishes and plastic sauce cups for every meal that left the kitchen.The best thing we had was our beers ($10 for their Guinness that had "nitro" in parentheses on the menu, and $7 for their Island Time microbrew), which was served in clear plastic cups.My husband raved about this place, so I was excited to go! The atmosphere really had me because it looked decent and "fancy" like he had mentioned. However, I don't think I'll be back.Oh, and parking was so full that people were parking their vehicles on the grass. ?

OMG! I actually don’t have words and I let management know what I thought. I am shocked!!!!!!!!We had a group of friends at your bar and my first time there and were celebrating a friends birthday.In the bar, we had a table and one table over this guy projectile vomited all over his table. Your staff cleaned it, but gave him a trashcan. Who does that? First of all unacceptable in every way I can think of because you’ve got people eating and drinking and he continued to get sick. Extremely unsanitary and GROSS!!! All you guys did was clean up And didn’t do anything about it !The manager came to our table and apologized, and I said I don’t want an apology. I want you to take care of it. He should’ve been escorted out after the first time, and he said to me that his family continued to finish their drinks. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? JUST WOW!!! So GROSS and REALLY ?!? You let him sit there?!?

I have NO WORDS but I have a lot of words. We are in the bar and some guy projectile vomited on the table. The staff cleaned it left him there. His family didn't do anything. He continued to get sick and they actually put a trashcan by him. Who does that? What management would leave him sitting there and not escort him out or talk to his family? I've never been so disgusted in my life all the man manager told us what he's sorry and I said I don't want your apologies you should've fixed it the first time he had a situation.

The restaurant is very nice, but the service is terrible, every time I have come the people who serve the tables never show up to place the order, and if you ask any other waiter they tell you that they don't serve that table and they don't even tell you. He cares about helping us find the server that can serve us. Restaurant managers should take this problem into account.

It's kinda funny, because I'm talking to a friend as we speak about this place and their experience. BOTH of us said the same thing, that this place is basically an instagram restaurant. It's BEAUTIFUL from the outside, a lot of really stunning features for sure. And some of the presentation of food/drinks was really pretty (great for the gram).However, the parking lot is a joke, the service was slowwwwww as we had 1 waiter handling 8 tables, far too much to provide good service. Mind you, we picked this place out, made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and were so excited to try it. But this was THE BIGGEST LETDOWN of a restaurant I've tried in the last year.They managed to make every dish we got taste bad, even my girlfriends meal came out barely warm. At first I thought I'd ask for another, but given it took nearly 10 minutes to even see the waitress again I just told them to take it off. The food was so bad we literally rushed out of there without ordering dessert (which never happens). And finally, this place is overpriced to say the least. I've eaten way better food off of plenty of food trucks in town for a fraction of the price.Save your money, this place is trash.

I usually come here and everything is amazing. But today was not the case. Hostess said it would be about a thirty minute wait to be seated at a table. So we went to the bar and had a glass of wine while we waited. Thirty minutes later we were called up saying our table was ready… low and behold they seated us at the bar that had a view of the kitchen and not a table that we were waiting 30 minutes for … we asked the hostess for a table but she called someone and no one ever got back to us. While even when we were”seated” it took the waiter about 10 minutes to even ask us for our drink. At that point we decided to leave. Hope to have a better experience next time… if there even is a next time

Awesome food and drinks. The waitress very friendly. Definitely recommend this place. I’ll be back again soon.Thx
Ordered fish and chips and Rob’s burger…. Fries were over salted and the burger bun was charred and burger was cooked beyond belief. I was expecting a decent meal from this place given the great reviews and the nice new building but sadly it was a total wash. Bad service. Bad food. Will not be back

This is such a an amazing place. The food was absolutely delicious, the best Reuben I have ever had and I have tried many! The service was great, the atmosphere is amazing with a lot of really interesting decor. Lastly, the manager, Victor, is such a great guy, he made a point to stop at our table to introduce himself. He gave us a lot of information about the restaurant's history, information about the decor, and the way they prepare their food. We will definitely be regulars at this place!

Nice , friendly place. Ordered the Irish stew and charred vegetables. They were well prepared and the portions were large. They have a decent menu with a variety of options. Good food and a good value. It’s not “Nancy’s in Ardara”, but it’s a solid choice for a suburban pub.
