   We sat at the bar and the bartender was overwhelmed and that was understandable for it was Valentine’s Day. It took time to be served. The real issue for us was that when our bill came he had charged us for a seating of 2 the 20% charge that is for large seatings. He then gave us our cc bill to sign which had tip as well. If I would have noticed before he ran my cc I would have asked him to remove the 20% tip off our bill which included a $100+ bottle of wine - so that we could have determined the tip. More importantly how many people double tip from either being too tipsy or just not reviewing bill. The food was good and our service was not. Nice evening atmosphere. Btw, we called the bartender out on the tip being in our bill and he said oops.

   Thank you so much for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the misinterpretation. All of our reservations are taken through OpenTable. Before any confirmation is sent, there are terms and conditions to agree to. One being that every major holiday incurs an automatic 20 percent service charge on all party sizes. We are open 365 days a year and we attempt to provide excellent service. However, we never want our guest to leave feeling like this wasn't fully earned. Please feel free to reach out to me via our website and I would love the opportunity to fix this. Thank you so much in advance.

   Took too long for server to get to table. Was given wrong plate, which contained shellfish. I’m highly allergic. Food came out cold. For mix up, manager said they would remove dish from final tab. It didn’t happen.

   Thank you so much for the feedback. I want to apologize for the confusion. The plates were swapped after we dropped the dishes and we never intended to give the wrong plate to you. We sincerely apologize for our mishaps on this extremely busy evening. We know that the dish was ultimately removed and do very much appreciate you allowing us to rectify this situation. If there's anything more we can do to win your hearts back please feel free to email infoitalianbarrel@gmail We welcome the opportunity to change your dining perspective. Thank you again for making us aware!

   My husband and I made a reservation here for Valentine’s Day. It was our first time in the city and to be honest we didn’t really know what to expect. The staff were wonderful! They were all so kind and worked together as a team pretty seamlessly. I don’t feel like we had to wait around for anything. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I got the pumpkin ravioli and my husband got the fillet with asparagus. We loved both dishes so much and left feeling satisfied. Safe to say if we come back to the city we’ll be back here for sure!
