We were seated immediately and drink orders taken. Our waitress was very informative when we asked questions and attentive throughout the evening. The food was very good. We will going back soon.

My filet was excellent. My husband's ribeye was even better. Green beans were a bit too spicy for me.

Service and food were excellent. Our table was ready when we arrived. I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Surf and turf, seafood pasta, salmon were all great and perfectly prepared.

Service was wonderful, very happy with it. My husband and I both ordered the special and it was just ok. The chicken was just lacking in flavor with not enough sauce. Dessert was incredibly good though, I highly recommend the creme brulee.

We reserved a barrel room a week in advance. When we arrived, we were told that they didn't have a barrel room available. Two rooms sat empty the entire time we were there, which was well over an hour. The staff were rude and didn't care at all. It was for a special occasion, so it was very disappointing.

We went here for my sisters birthday and was very disappointed. We ordered salads which came out hot and wilted. They brought different ones which were equally as bad. The food was overcooked and mediocre. One dish came with rice that looked like mashed potatoes it was so overcooked. My chicken was tough and the breading fell off the minute you tried to cut it. It was burnt. We got the wrong sides. Very bad experience. Our server was friendly and did her best apologizing for all the issues. The vibe is weird. They want to be fancy but the bar has dive bar lights and the bartenders were loud. It did not match the fancy atmosphere they are trying for.

Food was excellent, great appetizers, tuna and crab artichoke dip, yum! We had the rib eye and filet mignon, cooked perfectly rare to our liking, home made mashed potatoes and green beans. Drinks from the bar were just right! The best server, Brandi made sure we were taken care of. She was professional and charismatic. All around great experience.

The environment and service was good. However, the pricing for the food is not reflective of the quality in taste. The calamari had no flavor and seemed like it was frozen from a bag. The steak didn't have much flavor for the price that we paid. If the total price was cut in half , the overall experience would've been better. The final price was not indicative of the overall experience.

Food and service was excellent. The only disappointment was the seating we requested was not granted. Instead, we were seated in the highest traffic spot in the restaurant.

Chelsea was our server and nice, professional and unobtrusive. Everything I want in service. NY strip was at best choice grade and under seasoned. Meat was tough or knife was dull. Served luke warm. Barrel-room tables are too quiet. Awkward without any outside noise especially since we were the farthest from the front. Wine selection was very limited for anything good but a fairly good value if you liked anything on the list. Wine service was slow so it must be under the thumb of someone who does not value the sale of bottled wine. Expected a nicer place which is why I am more critical than I would like to be for a small-town restaurant. Appetizers was excellent! Bacon wrapped shrimp and portobello mushroom were hot, bacon was crunchy and led me to believe, order something other than beef and you'll have a great meal!

Temperature was chilly making it uncomfortable to dine. Entree was barely warm. Appetizer was delicious. Dessert was overpriced as far as the serving size. Ambience was good, cocktails were excellent.

Although the menu looks impressive on paper, we were somewhat disappointed with the bland flavor of the soups and meals. Overall excellent service, and although I noted it was our anniversary on my reservation, nothing was mentioned to us.

Bricks and Barrels is a great restaurant, with a full bar, helpful and entertaining staff, and varied menu. We ate at the bar, staffed by aces Sam and Drew. The entrees -- fettuccini and parmesan-crusted chicken, and a 14-oz. NY strip with mashed potatoes -- were plentiful and reasonable. And the peanut butter pie nearly put us in a sugar coma. The local craft beer selection is good, as is the wine list. And the guys whip up some creative cocktails. The ambience is informal, with ample seating for couples or large parties. All in all, a consistently pleasurable experience.

The food was absolutely delicious--one of the best meals both in taste and portion size that we have ever had. I do recommend making sure you are there early for parking, as the lot is very small--luckily we were there on weekend and could use the parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. We had made reservations to celebrate an anniversary, so we were a little disappointed to have a table in the middle, but we didn't request a quieter area, so we can't be too picky about it--now we know for next time! Our waiter was fantastic and personable. If we are in the area again, we would definitely go back!

This is a fun, lively place. We were a party of 8. The service was excellent. Most of the food was good, except: the chilean sea bass entree was so salty it was not edible. And the vegetarian black bean burger seemed to be just a flat frozen store bought bean burger. That was unfortunate since the person who is a vegetarian was also paying the entire tab, and he barely ate any of it, and no, he didn't complain or send it back. (That is not typically how we are). And the vegetarian in the party had the hummus platter starter which was excellent he said. Everyone else in the party had great food with no complaints. Perhaps it was just an accident in the kitchen with the extra salt! $35 was taken off the price of the sea bass entree without us asking for it.
