Uptown Barrel Room

I ate here for brunch around noon today (Saturday, 4/20). The atmosphere was pretty chill for weekend brunch and the service was just fine. Not bad nor exceptional: just respectful and acceptable. I had a mimosa and thankfully it was served in a stemless glass. I never liked those dainty champagne glasses accompanying brunch. They inevitably get knocked over. I wish I’d had it with pineapple juice though. The orange juice was a bit too bitter. My main complaint is the food. Firstly, in how long it took to get a breakfast burrito- 45 minutes! Secondly, it was the most bland breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. The presentation was pleasing, but that was the only pleasing thing about it. It was in a green tortilla with lettuce, unseasoned eggs, sausage, and a bunch of undercooked veggies: onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Again, no flavor - so the only thing you could really taste was the nearly raw vegetables. Even the sausage in the burrito was bland. And no cheese?! The breakfast potatoes appeared to be frozen potato chunks thrown in a fryer. Again, no flavor. It was the most boring brunch meal I’ve ever had. Usually, brunch at a restaurant is a special event, but the food at this brunch seemed to be an afterthought.

A fun evening with friends and good food.

Delicious food! Good portions. Welcoming. Definitely will be back.

Great food, great staff, comfortable setting. Oh, and beer!

What a disappointment all around. The sausage risotto had meatballs that tasted like they fell out of a subway sandwich, I had to routinely shoo away flies as I ate, and our server never collected a single empty drink glass until she came for the bill. The gall to ask for a 30% tip afterward! To think I ever liked this place pre-Covid. I’ll never be back.

The food, service & wine selection was fantastic! I was there for bruch. I had the bruschetta with steak. It was plated more like a caprese salad on baguette but with pesto instead of basil. Still, it was scrumptious! Met the owner and had a lovely discussion about wine, his own included. If you're in the market for some fab wine at very good prices, check this place out.
