    We visited Pickle Barrel for a Birthday gathering and loved it. Clean, friendly atmosphere. The food was very good, and good value for money. Our server was absolutely wonderful. Our only request, serve larger cappuccinos. They were the tiniest cappuccinos we've ever seen. Otherwise, fantastic.

    Everything was very bland; I think the kitchen ran out of all seasoning and spices right before they cooked our meals. Ordered the cesar salad and would have preferred a bagged salad kit from the grocery store; it was almost tastless as well. Calamari was super tough and gummy but not as bad as the rest of the meals; taste was acceptable.

    My daughter in law asked for her tomatoes on the side not in the pasta, which they didn't do. My mother's toast was dry with no butter or jam. She asked for peameal bacon but got regular bacon. The hollandaise on my eggs Benedict didn't taste like anything and was a bit synthetic tasting.

    The food was okay, and the service was similar. It seemed like they were low on staff, and our waitress was stretched thin but did a decent job. Overall, the food was subpar.

    Sylvia (our waiter) was wonderful. The food was great. Pickle Barrel is our go-to restaurant when we meet friends for dinner.

    The steak, burgers and chicken parmigiana were all very bland. I called ahead to pre-arrange they sing happy birthday to my son and bring out a dessert with a candle. The server was unaware of this request and the surprise was ruined when I had to explain it to her at the table.
