   Drinks and the smores dessert were good! Drinks were very strong and pre batched so no adjustments could be made. Not a big deal though. The service was just not good at all. Wouldn’t recommend if you are just going for drinks and dessert our server was not present because of what I assume was our not ordering food! It wasn’t busy at all either.

   our server was great, he tried his best to make our experience a good one. we went for dessert and half of the dessert was already gone, what we actually ordered was terrible. comparable to cruise food. we tried to order a coffee or espresso and they didnt have any but they had espresso martinis on the menu. i thought it would be more festive inside and it was subpar, over all not the worst experience but definitely no need to ever revisit.

   Food was good. A little frustrated when first arrived friend asked waitress for Cindy Lou drink since she asked if anyone wanted anything yet. 15 minutes later after another friend arrived, the waitress came back asked if anyone wanted anything. We was puzzled because the first drink still didn't arrive. Also, ordered The Old Fashion, that was not even half glass full for $15.00. That's an icon drink ordered all the time, so we know how it is suppose to come. The Grinch if it was a martini just tasted like mint with no vodka. My drink was empty and waitress never asked if I wanted another one, she just came and took my empty glass and left. So drinks were mehh, but the food was very good. Even though what we wanted they ran out of and didn't have. It definitely didn't look as festive as portrayed on Instagram, seemed Instagram post had more lights and decor and trees lit than when we went. Trees were not lit and half the decor is not what it seemed online. Needless to say it was ok, not what we expected, and what we wanted to eat they didn't have, which is what we were looking forward to when we reserved. Waitress was not very attentive but she was nice. I don't think we will go back but if we do, we will just sit at the bar, they seemed happier when we passed.

   We had the most wonderful time here last night. From the moment we walked in the door for cocktails until we left several hours later, we were treated like royalty. We drove almost an hour to get to this restaurant. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. The food was innovative, beautiful, and delicious. The service was top-notch. The owners were on the property and hands-on greeting and making sure everyone was having a wonderful time. Definitely recommend.

   1. Odd odor in the restaurant. 2. Very limited menu due to lack of staff. Would have been nice to know this as it was a celebratory dinner that needed more than burgers. 3. Staff was polite and apologetic. 4. Cocktails were well crafted, but $15 each.

   Barterhouse use to be a great restaurant with good food, drinks and staff. It is no longer any of these things. Really disappointed. Went for the Christmas pop up. Only 4 “themed” drinks. Menu was limited. Will not be back. If you’re looking for a Christmas pop-up could not recommend this one.

   Very disappointed and sad with our experience here. Made reservations well in advanced almost a month for my mom‘s birthday. She absolutely loves Christmas and of course seeing the Christmas decorations. I made reservations there. Upon arrival, we were about seven minutes late due to a wrong turn, but called to let them know. And it was a 5 o’clock reservation so it wasn’t busy yet anyways, when we were seated, we seated on the side that did not have that much decorations, obviously with a reservation, you would think you would get put on the side with all of the Christmas lights. I even asked if we could sit over there and she said it was “ in high demand” which again…what was my point in requesting a reservation then ??? Then out of the four holiday drinks they only had two of them that were available so another disappointment. Our server Kelly, not very knowledgeable of almost anything and then we asked her about the happy hour. We saw online and she told us they didn’t have one and then came back and said yes my apologies. We do it just excludes the holiday drinks, but everything else is happy hour so we all got two more drinks during this time and I got to two wines. When we got the bill, my wines were not discounted and we asked her why not when she came back she told us that, that wine was not included, even though she had said everything except the holiday drinks….. our bill was over $200 with three hamburgers and ravioli. And of course drinks but still completely outrageous for food prices. The burgers were pretty good and the fries were yummy. The ravioli was definitely different and small and portion. Over all just very sad with the experience and on top of that celebrating my mom’s birthday was a slight light down here. Instagram definitely does a job at showing you what you want to see…..

    The Christmas decorations were really cute and the ambiance was relaxing but the food was a bit overpriced and drinks came out reallllly slow.
