    Special Thanksgiving dinner
    Kevin W.

    I would say this place absolutely gets 5 stars for being one of the few dining options at a resort property type of place like GWL and actually serving some decent food. I've eaten here probably 20 times as it's my normal dinner go to whenever I visit and stay at the water park (and I come very frequently) - and I've never really had a single bad meal in any respect. The standouts here are the strip steak, Alfredo pasta, bolognese spaghetti and the awesome burgers. Also a hugely popular option is the roast chicken. Their appetizers are pretty good, though the onion rings and wings tend to be my favorite go to's (the nachos are ok but not amazing). They also have a darn good chocolate lava cake. Even their special thanksgiving theme dinner was also very good (only served on thanksgiving day or close to it). The issue though is the deterioration of service quality that's gotten progressively worse over the past year or so. They sometimes seem understaffed or simply have extremely slow servers who are terrible at keeping up with orders. They also frequently (unless you specifically ask them otherwise) serve your appetizers at the same time as the entrees which is really annoying. I've also seen other customers get annoyed at the slow pace of food service in many cases. It's a reason why I don't consider this place a clear cut 5 star overall experience even if the food is very good. Generally speaking this is the best food you'll get on property (though their Hungry as a Wolf pizza joint is not bad either, albeit it's all take out there and Barnwood is way better than the awful food at Timbers which is their fast casual take out place). However, be prepared for some seriously inconsistent service as well as in some cases the food can be overly salty/overseasoned as well.

    Each and every time I've come here , I always have drinks here at the Barn wood. Service has always been awesome and the drinks always good . The restaurant is always well-kept. The decor is giving calm , come and relax type energy .

    Surprisingly amazing ... especially in comparison to the other food option in the Great wolf lodge and casino. You can access the restaurant without participating in the great wolf lodge but u do need a parking pass. No cash cards or room charge only .... The shrimp scampi Alfredo OMG! Chefs kiss. They sung happy birthday to those who were celebrating . Noisy not quite fine dining but decent.

    Absolutely delicious! My fiancé made a trip from Philly. The fried chicken was really tasty;…read morewouldn't think to get that at a seafood place but it was a good choice. Also they make their own dressings and the honey mustard and ranch were a must try The medium crabs were 35$ for a half dozen which was a deal. It's typically 45$ for the medium. They were so meaty and cooked perfectly. No need to fight to get the meat out and that's when you know it's cooked right I also did get the Maryland crab soup, honestly I would skip that. It was disappointing but no big deal. The drinks were really strong and so reasonably priced. Since we had to drive, we only had one each Crab dip was also a very good app but the entrees were the star of the show Service was really quick and our server was so friendly !

    We went on the recommendation of my sister. We were seated outside and immediately given a table…read morefan to help with the flies (didn't help but a thoughtful gesture) - service was spectacular. Not rushed, given the specials as well as recommended dishes. We ordered the crab dip, the fried tomatoes with crab, fried cheese bites, hush puppies and fried chicken. All the food came out quickly and was fresh. The hush puppies were delicious - fried hard on the outside, soft in the middle - huge portion. Need to ask for more butter because one cup isn't enough for the amount of hush puppies you get. Fried tomatoes were delicious, my husband finished the whole plate. Fried chicken was really good - they are known for their chicken. It was properly seasoned and crispy. Will definitely be back to try additional dishes. Margaritas were perfect.

We had the short rib pierogis, spinach salad, and crab cakes. The ambience was nice and the service was decent. The menu, particularly the entrees, seemed a little pricey for the area but the food we had was all good. Havre De Grace is a small waterfront town, so I have to say that considering the context and location, our dinner was really quite good and exceeded my expectations. If you're in town, it's a nice place to come for wine and an elevated dinner.

    Every town, burg, or community - however large or small - should be the proud possessor of at least…read moreone... Bistro, that is. A cozy little restaurant that serves up delightfully delicious food in a decidedly casual setting. And in Havre de Grace, The Vineyard Wine Bar fills this niche with a subtle sense of style. As the name suggests, wine has played a significant role in Vineyard's obvious success. So much so, in fact, that not only does the restaurant sport a superb compendium of vintages by the glass and bottle, its lunch and dinner menus are also divided into categories - Light Bodied, Medium Bodied, Full Bodied - that correspond to specific types of wines. Yes, wine is definitely the name of the game... But don't let that fool you. The kitchen also has a great deal to say... and all of it good. The food here is excellent in every respect, as is the service. If I lived in HdG, I have absolutely no doubt that I would be tempted to dine here every day of the week. The Vineyard is everything a great bistro should be - and then some. But I begin to digress... As you have undoubtedly surmised from the above remarks, our dinner here was an extraordinarily satisfying experience. My dining partner and I began by sharing the Bruschetta Trio. Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that begins with grilled bread topped with garlic and olive oil and then adds a variety of toppings. In this case, the finishing touches consisted of a luscious garlic spread, sundried tomato and basil pestos, melted mozzarella, and house marinated tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. While most incarnations of bruschetta may be consumed manually, Vineyard's substantially succulent variations on the theme (as you will note from the photograph above) demanded the ministrations of both knife & fork and were well worth the effort... Incredibly and unforgettably delicious. As we moved on to what would be considered the entrée or main course, options were numerous and varied... from Cornish Game Hen to Crispy Skin Duck... Venison to Dakota Steak... Lamb Vindaloo to Pesto Bucatini... ... On this particular evening, however, matters piscatorial appeared to take precedence. My dining partner was absolutely ecstatic with her Tuna Bites. Which is precisely what they were... diminutive squares of blackened tuna luxuriating in a Creole remoulade (a creamy, mayonnaise-based sauce originating in France). A definite "wow" factor at work here. On the other hand, my Mango Glazed Salmon was equally up to the mark... First of all, it was wild caught, which I much prefer (with rare exception) to the farmed variety. Secondly, as with most species of fish, salmon tends to be prone to both over and under cooking. Here, however, it was perfectly prepared - cooked through but still moist and succulent at the core - superbly complemented by a slightly smokey red pepper coulis (a smooth sauce made from puréed and strained fruits or vegetables), and companioned by lemon & herb risotto and roasted asparagus spears. On to the wine... With regard to both taste and texture, tuna and salmon are certainly among finny fare's heartiest representatives. Thus, despite the oft-quoted dictum, "Red wine with meat, white wine with fish," and the gentle urgings of our server in that direction, I have always found that salmon and pinot noir are - somewhat akin to lamb and red Bordeaux - a match made in heaven. And, in this instance, the 2022 Lundeen Mon Père Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley proved to be a perfect match for my companion's blackened tuna bites as well. Dessert was a special treat. Naturally, many of the usual familiar sweet endings were present and accounted for. And, given the superior quality of the cuisine thus far, I had no doubt whatsoever that they would have acquitted themselves with suitable aplomb. For some reason, however, my dining companion and I were both drawn to the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake (pictured), which we decided to share... and, which, as it turned out, proved to be one of the high points of our evening. This was an intriguing amalgam indeed: The sweetness of taste being more influenced by the former; the firmness of texture by the latter. It is - if you will pardon the seemingly psychological digression - what we might consider a type of "gastronomic Gestalt," in which the whole is greater than the mere sum of its parts. In other words, the components of Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake have been combined... and from this fascinating combination there has emerged a new dessert that is even more desirable than the components have been individually. Well... call it what you will. I just know that it was so incredibly delicious that I would return at a moment's notice just to indulge my taste buds once again.
