    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.

    I had a wonderful experience dining here. We made reservations for an outside table at lunch. Since…read morewe were hungry for seafood, we ordered several things: 1/2 pound of shrimp, fresh grilled fish, crab hush puppies, raw oysters and clams. Everything was great. Probably my favorite things were the crab hush puppies, and the fresh fish, served with pineapple. The entrees came with two sides. Therefore, I tried four sides. The French fries and potato salad were really good. The fresh vegetables had onions in it. I am not a big onion fan. The coleslaw was good. Next time, I will order the fish, with just one side- the potato salad was very large. For an appetizer, I will get the clams again, and the crab hush puppies. Yelp was so helpful guiding me to the hush puppies. The chef prepared our food outstandingly. Coral was are very friendly server. A nice meal with an outstanding server and a view of the water made for an excellent day. The host and the people helping out to clear the table were very nice, also. The vibe at the restaurant was a tropical beach feeling. People were dressed casually, mostly in t-shirts.

    Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more Good food and a great time. This hibachi place sticks out above the crowd. We walked in and were warmly greeted. The restaurant is overstuffed with decorations, from gorgeous Japanese drapes to modern kitsch like a claw machine. The fare is standard for a hibachi, but cooked very well (and I particularly liked that the rice wasn't too oily). The portion sizes are also HUGE, including for the kids sizes! One thing that stood out was that you could get noodles in lieu of rice. They are slathered in teriyaki and are a nice change of pace. But where they stand out the most is in service. We ordered sake bombs for two. The hostess set them up, played a drum for us as my wife and I competed, and the winner won a light-up rose. They engaged both the kids and adults during the dinner show. They had to-go boxes at the ready without us even needing to ask. And everyone came away feeling happy and VERY full. The price is also right. So 5 stars is earned by this place.

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.
