    We had a great birthday dinner for my husband. Our servers, Dave and Dave, were very attentive and we felt well taken care of. They treated our 5 year old just as kindly as they treated the adults. And as usual, the food was fantastic.

    While I understand this is the Christmas season, we felt a bit rushed in ordering. Clearing our plates as we literally finished the last bites was a little more pressure to let us know you wanted to turn the table. Overall the food was excellent, however medium pink served well done on the Strip will change the way I order a steak with you to medium rare. I’m learning… As always the wait staff and the kitchen staff are to be credited with making sure that all your guests have great experience. Thank you all for making The Barn an exceptional evening splurge!

    Amazing restaurant experience! I went to The Barn with my girlfriend for our anniversary, and it was such a lovely evening. We each received a complementary glass of champagne, and they gave us a free dessert, which made this dinner all the more special. Not to mention the steak was perfectly cooked and delicious. I highly recommend adding the mushrooms and bleu cheese to your steak; you will not regret it.

    Food was excellent. Daughter does not eat big portions, she was able to order off the children's menu which was great for her. IT was my husbands birthday so he got extra attention and a free dessert. Our server was AMAZING. This was the 2nd time however we felt ignored when we were trying to check in with our reservations. 4 people at the reception area. 1 was trying to check in a person she couldn't find a reservation for, the other three didn't even make eye contact. We stood there for at least 7 minutes before we were helped. This happened the last time we were there too. Only complaint.

    My prime ribeye was cooked to perfection and did not need additional seasoning (just the way I like it) and the roasted Brussels sprouts were delicious! My wife loved her ritz cracker crusted walleye. We were celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary and when we entered, the hostess wished us a happy anniversary and our waiter could not have been better. Our night ended with a complimentary bourbon cherry cheesecake and espresso martini. We will definitely be returning!

    The experience here is typically good, hence our continued patronage. This visit, however, was not as good. I know now that if I want a filet cooked medium, I need to order it rare. But the biggest issue was the service. Our server would disappear for large chunks of time. We had been seated for over 45 minutes before we ordered anything to eat. I would understand more had the restaurant been busier, but the day after Black Friday? It was practically deserted in there.

    This was the first time ever that the service was subpar. Usually always enjoy the food - it is always top notch, but I don't know if our server was new, really busy, or just didn't care. It will not keep me from visiting the Barn in the future for our special occasions, I just hope this one visit was an anomaly from a service perspective.

    It was my birthday, my husband and myself ate dinner there. When I go there I always have the pork chops. I have never in my life had a pork that was as succulent as yours the taste, size of it is awesome. My husband eats your shrimp and scallion Alfredo. There has never been at time when we weren't satisfied with our meal or service. Our waiter Kirk was attentive and professional. Thank you for making my birthday dinner wonderful.

    Service is normally quite good, but this time we had to flag our waiter down 3-4 times. He tended to disappear for long periods of time. We watched our drinks up at the bar sit there for over 10 minutes waiting for our server to bring them to us. When our server finally came back, he realized he’d totally forgotten. At this caliber of restaurant, he should have been better. This isn’t the norm here.

    The Barn is easily the best restaurant in Columbus. They are consistent in both food quality and service. I had the filet and it was cooked to perfection. They offered a special side… lobster mashed potatoes and they might be the best potatoes I’ve ever had. My husband ordered the ribs and the portion was so generous, he was able to bring more than half a slab home as leftovers. Our server was friendly, polite, and professional. We were offered a complimentary dessert as we were celebrating our anniversary so we chose the Mud Pie. Don’t even get me started on that deliciousness! I told my husband we are going there for all further celebrations.
