    The food and our drinks were excellent. The only drawbacks were that we had to sit for several minutes without silverware after our salads had arrived. Our server was super friendly, but she had way too many tables to provide good service. She gave us little to no attention at all.

    Our waiter was phenomenal. The Empanada Trio our appetizer was packed with flavor. We ordered The Argentine Parrillada Experience For Two. Definitely more than enough food for 2 people. Drinks were very good (and strong). We order the Black & Bull(Eit) and Argentine Old Fashioned. Atmosphere was amazing, set just right for our weekly date night. Our waiter suggested the bread pudding for dessert, which was by far the best bread pudding we have tasted in a long time. Thank you, butcher and barrel team for an amazing experience!

    So impressed with both food and service. Thank you to server Jennifer, for making my birthday dinner so special. We were especially impressed with the cocktails, the fried deviled egg appetizer, the bread pudding, and of course the steaks. This place is a gem.

    Our waitress Jennifer made the experience along with the exquisite food & flavors. This was our first time at the butcher and barrel. It was great. We even sent pictures of the food back to our foodie son and his wife which are great cooks themselves. We will come back and look forward to it.
