Always feel taken care of and appreciated at Grapes and Soda as well as their sister restaurant Farmers Apprentice. It’s tasty, feels like a special occasion and reasonable enough to enjoy nice dinners, snacks and drinks there without feeling too guilty. An especially friendly FOH and kitchen staff. A great dining experience.

Barbara is a beautiful experience of lovely staff and excellently executed dishes. As mentioned in other reviews, the space is intimate yet stylishly appointed. We wouldn’t have it any other way. In a city where one can have an endless variety of foods, Barbara manages to be quite more than a cut above the rest while remaining true to the vision of the owner/chef, Pat. Literally every single bite of our order: beef tartare, the in-house made stracciatella, the octopus, the celery root and the Arctic char and beef short rib managed to make ingredients we have had before become something special again. Be sure to order an inventive cocktail and save room for the included dessert. Ours was a Concord grape granita with maple drizzle that seemed made for each other. If you’re local or visiting this beautiful city, place Barbara on your list of “not to be missed” restaurants and make this reservations in advance. You’re in for a real treat.

Great food, drinks, ambience, and service. A worthwhile culinary experience. Highly recommend! The server's suggestions were helpful and great. Passion for food and drinks was in the air. The seats were a bit uncomfortable, but don't let that stop you from making a visit.

5 Star fine dining experience! The service was superb and the food so delicious!

Everything was just great. Will recommend it to my friends.
