Honestly, Their specials were misleading and to say the least, pure garbage. The special/surprise steak was a surprise….. tasted and looked like left over cuts. Beside that, all the stuff on menu was good.

The ambiance was good and the service was good, the rib eye I got was tough and chewy, not a great cut of meat and was very tough. The appetizer biscuit was good but the meat had a lit of chewy bits in it, flavor was good. Caramel dessert was delicious. Cocktails were good. Overall it was good, would recommend.

As always, the food, service and ambiance at Barnea were excellent. The lamb riblets, aged short rib appetizer, veal chop, arayes and apple strudel got rave reviews from our family. They graciously brought us a bottle of champagne for a family celebration. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food! Do not miss the lamb riblets, the beef rib appetizer, the fantastic cocktails presented under a glass of smoke. The key lime pie there is the best that I have ever had! Every dish was delicious and presented perfectly. Staff was very friendly.

The food was AMAZING, and all of the staff were super friendly & attentive. It was extra impressive as they had a private birthday party in the other room, yet there were plenty of amazing staff helping in the main area too. Water glasses were always filled seamlessly. Nadia, my waitress, made excellent recommendations-- I'm gluten free and she was soo knowledgeable of the menu! She also made sure to clarify/confirm which things were gluten free as they went onto the table (including my friend's meal so that I didn't accidentally eat/taste something I'm allergic to!!). Couldn't not be happier!!
