Our visit was for an early Mother's Day dinner I chose the steak sandwich.. I had plans on ordering something else, however, when I saw and smelled someone else's order being served, I quickly changed my mind I'm so glad I did it was delicious just perfect!! My hubby ordered a chicken sandwich that was just as good.. All of our food was very tasty and we really enjoyed it. Portions are generous so hopefully you're very hungry or be prepared to bring plenty home. I was only able to eat half of my food and brought the other half home and my sandwich seemed better the next day which isn't always the case when you bring things home!! I recommend giving this place a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. We had a very pleasant experience the food and service were fabulous read more

Torn on how to score my review. If it was just based on quality of drinks, they would get a 5/5 from me. However, the poor service from behind the bar is what dropped down my score. Came in on a busy Saturday night after attending another event in the area. The bar was hopping and we snagged the last 2 available seats. At first, it appeared they had 4 bartenders, a manager, and a barback behind the bar. However, other than the barback consistently washing/unloading dishes I am not sure what was going on with the service. Manager was not providing any assistance to his staff. However, he was filling his own water bottle. Other staff were taking selfies with guests. It took awhile to order a second round as well as pay our tab. This was a one and done visit for me. read more

such a great brunch experience! we were visiting my sister in Illinois and we were looking for a new brunch spot to try, and she said her boss recommended this spot so we should try it. and i'm very happy we did! we got seated very quickly on Mother's Day for brunch, and service was friendly in this clean, welcoming, and bright restaurant! some things we ordered: - mimosa flight: very delicious, but definitely more juicy than champagne-y (which not complaining bc i love my mimosas sweet lol) - loaded bloody mary: my mom and sister were big fans! - southern chicken sandwich: i love me a chicken sandwich, and this one was yummy! the chicken was big and juicy, and i love me some thin cut fries! i do wish there was more sauce on my sandwich, but i just love sauce LOL - 2 eggs your way, eggs benedict, southern skillet (i think that's what it was?): these are what my family had, and they all enjoyed it! we do wish the skillet was a big bigger, but it was good! overall we would definitely come back to this spot for brunch when visiting again! would love to try their dinner menu :) read more

Stumbled in on a whim and immediately felt like we had been missing out on something. Romantic modern gothic is the only way I can describe it. Dark beadboard walls, copper ceiling tiles, round orb lighting, and upstairs a cavernous space with soaring ceilings anchored by a stunning skylight. It is genuinely one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the area. Date night approved. One gripe before we get to the good stuff: if you have pages and pages of creative cocktails and an extensive wine list, your two mocktail options deserve the same love. We don't drink and the options were fine but very sour and clearly an afterthought. Do better for the sober and sober curious crowd. Now the food. The burrata was creamy, rich, and gorgeous sitting in olive oil topped with chimichurri and grilled bread. Needed more balsamic to bring the acid balance home, but honestly still one of the better burratas I've had locally. The stuffed pork with gouda, chimichurri, and saffron potato wedges was a genuinely smart plate. The saffron wedges were a surprise standout, bringing a clean earthiness that cut through the richness beautifully. A touch heavy on the gouda and the whole dish woke up considerably with a little extra salt, but the bones of it are excellent. The churrasco hanger steak told the same story. Well cooked, flavorful, chimichurri doing its job. The curly fries were the one shrug of the night. Not bad, just boring next to everything else on offer. Mike our server closed the deal by steering us toward the caramel skillet cookie and honestly, bless him for it. Warm, salty, sweet, rich, topped with cold vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It is everything a skillet cookie should be and we scraped the pan. We are already planning the return visit and bringing friends. Barrel & Vine is an unexpected dining experience that Plainfield is lucky to have. read more

We had the brussel sprouts for our appetizer and they were so good. I had the stuffed pork chop and have never had a better pork chop-amazing! My husband had the Barrel Carbonara and he said it was so good he'd order it again (&again). Dessert was the Sticky Toffee Pudding-wow!!! Mike was our waiter and he didn't miss a beat. Loved the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

We have been coming to Barrel and Vine for about a year now on a regular basis. From the moment we walk in the door we are welcomed with a smile and a recognition of being "regulars". The food is absolutely delicious and as someone who is gluten free there are plenty of choices. Family favorites (not all gluten free) include calamari, perogis, octopus, burger, steak frites and the truffle fries. And the drinks are always made to perfection. Kylie and Steph are great in the bar, remembering what we like but we also haven't met an employee who wasn't personable. Finally what I appreciate about the service is it is always prompt but never rushed. If we want to get in and out we will, but if we want to stay and socialize they are never pushy. - great addition to Plainfield read more

The food was delicious, and the staff was welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The outdoor seating is a nice touch, and my drink was refreshing and perfect for summer. A great spot that I'd happily visit again. read more

Me and my wife recently stopped at Barrel & Vine for a late night adventure. We rarely go out to downtown Plainfield but this place was really great. We didn't book a reservation but we were able to get a seat without any issue. My friends that came here prior say that whenever they booked with the reservation they were able to get a seat upstairs. We weren't dining in, we were only staying for a few drinks but this place was really cozy and the waitress who took care of us throughout our time here was very friendly and social. Great selection of drinks to choose from and there's even non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails as well. It can be a bit pricey coming here as well as a bit tricky trying to find a parking spot but it's a great place to stop at! read more

NYE dinner was a great choice. Delicious cocktails, champagne samples, and party hats that traveled with us all night... immaculate vibes. Our waitress was attentive with great energy, and I loved that multiple staff members chimed in to hype up the steak sandwich. The food was a 10/10: flavorful steak sandwich, perfectly crunchy fries, and a sauce that wasn't overpowering. The calamari was buttery smooth on the inside and light, crispy, and golden on the outside. An amazing experience overall. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch. My friend was able to make rsvp for 26 ppl (adults + kids) with no issues. The restaurant has an upstairs that is pretty big. Could probably hold a huge wedding or Shower party there. Love the decor and food was great. I think they have a coat check, but I'm not sure. The coats didn't stay well on the chairs. And can't hang your purse on the back either. I ended up putting my purse between my shoes. Had the mimosa flight and was able to try all of their flavored mimosas. They were pretty tart. But I like the strawberry lemon the most. Got the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon. Came with a side of potatoes and peppers. Then ended with the sticky toffee pudding. Definitely recommend as it melts into your mouth. The waiters were really nice and was able to do split checks with no issues. There are street parking and a small parking lot not far from the restaurant. There were signs on the street that helped guide me to the parking lot. read more

Sat at the bar for dinner. Service was excellent! Stephanie was great! She had so much attention to detail. Made suggestions on dinner that we were so pleased with. Drinks, food and service was fantastic! Thank you for a great evening Stephanie!!!! read more

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. We had a large group and they had the table set up before we arrived. The service was fantastic. They do not have a separate GF menu but the server indicated many items can be made GF. My friend I split the poppyseed quinoa salad and a veggie omelette with GF toast. The server confirmed there is a separate toaster and the omelette would be made in a clean pan. The food was delicious. I also ordered the mimosa sampler. They have great flavors to try. Will definitely come back! read more

Our foursome enjoyed our early dinners here Saturday evening after making a reservation that late afternoon. Our window seating in the tower made for a near private and cozy experience. Our appetizers (those Brussels sprouts!) and dinners were delicious. Even the grilled strips of chicken on my salad were flavorful. Several staff stopped to ask how we were doing and all were friendly coming and going - just watch your step entering and exiting!!! read more

Nice staff here & I love when establishments keep the TV volume at a decent level, not too loud which matches their chill vibes. Nothing special about their Bloody Mary though, it's without the works, no fixings meaning just a liquid drink but still with a tasty well balanced flavor. read more

Great food and service! My friend and I went for an early dinner around 4:30 on a Saturday. I had their St Patrick's Day Special corned beef and cabbage and it was delicious plus a very generous portion size. My only recommendation is to make sure to make a reservation a couple of days in advance, at least if you're going on the weekend, because by the time we left it was packed. read more

Amazing local restaurant in Downtown Plainfield with incredible service, a beautiful space, and quality drinks/food! If you remember Opera House, then you know how large this space is. The inside is absolutely beautiful. There's two floors. The first floor appears more casual, a great spot to grab a pre or post drink. The upstairs is where we were seated, in the massive dining room. Our server was on it, checking in often and made great conversation. I was most excited by the crispy calamari, mostly because it's gluten-free, and it's not often that I get to eat fried calamari. It was super good, lightly crisped, and chewy but not mushy. The short rib was slightly disappointing. The piece I received was mostly fat, but the pieces I could eat I enjoyed. The drinks were a hit as well. I can see this becoming a go to spot in the summer as well. read more

Good food, service and ambiance. The steak sandwich was cooked exactly like I ordered it. In some places we've been to, it's either too raw or over cooked. Tasted great. read more

Atmosphere is energetic. Great friendly staff, very knowledgeable. Food always delicious. The pierogi, the buratta in homemade sourdough bread bowl is perfection. Salads are great to share also. The stuffed pork chop, steak frites and pesto shrimp risotto are amazing. Cocktails are good and so is the wine selection. If nice out eating on the terrace is great!! read more

Valentine's Day had a reservation an they attended us right away. First time going it's a big place and the lightly dimmed light and environment is very romantic. The surf & turf 10/10. The chimichurri steal was an 8/10 I feel the potato's were too salty. Both of our drinks were really good the had a vday menu. read more

Three things about this Plainfield restaurant. 1) Exceptional food. Well prepared and tasty plates. Great steaks, seafood and pastas. 2) Wonderful ambience. Upstairs or down, the vibe is welcoming. 3) Number one service. Wait staff attentive and accommodating. ("Tall" Steve was more than helpful for our group on a Saturday night) Bottom line: Go there... You will not be disappointed. read more

A family of eight coming into a restaurant on Father's Day (at 1 PM) can be a bit overwhelming but if the restaurant takes its tips, the family should have extraordinary service because the tip is guaranteed. We were all there at the same time and they sat us immediately. The tables are narrow so there's little room, and we sat under a blower but we didn't complain. I'm giving (1) star to our waiter who ran around like a chicken with its head cut off, having little patience for us for no reason. He was caught shaking his head in disgust and rolling his eyes at us for no apparent reason. I attributed to him having Tourette's syndrome. He gave us no grace as if the sight of us angered him. I can't pinpoint one thing that made him so visibly uncomfortable. We asked him how he was doing and if his day was going well, but even his response was rushed. He didn't care to communicate with us. He said he is new to the job and I say, he's not cut out for waiting on people. We took a poll at our table on a rating for the experience including food and it was 5.5 out of 10. So the remaining points are for the food. I'd return but to the location in Plainfield because their Father's Day special (White fish) was delicious. read more

We love to try new places and this one - a WINNER!! The location is quaint, easy to access, and part of a cute downtown. The ambience is inviting. The manager welcomed us with warmth. The waitstaff was attentive and genuine. The cocktails were beautifully crafted. Brandon, the bartender, was also attentive and skillful. The food was delicious and the presentation was nice. We will definitely be back! It would be a great spot for a date night, business dinner, friend catchup or just a good meal! Highly recommend - don't miss this gem! read more

This place is great for dinner! We visited this place Saturday night without making reservations and didn't have to wait long at all. The atmosphere was good the food was awesome and drinks were ok. We ordered some steaks and my daughter ordered a burger. Our waitress asked if we're celebrating anything and we told her it was my birthday weekend so she said we would get one dessert on the house. We ended ordering the lava chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream and it was delicious, must try! We will definitely be coming back to this place with more friends and family. read more

We made a reservation for lunch ahead of time to make sure to be able to secure a table. When we entered we were greeted by a friendly face, and walked upstairs to our table. We were given the specials of the day along with a brunch and regular menu. Service to get our food, for a table of 5, was pretty fast. As we sat, they had light music playing with lots of sunshine coming into the upstairs area. The mimosa flight youbwere able to customize the 4 flavors you wanted from what they had listed. The chicken sandwich was cooked well and everything tasted great. They were able to do separate checks as well. read more

Tough to review. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was modern. Not many mocktails, the wait staff didn't know if the cheese was pastuerized - so, if you're pregnant, probably not the best place to go since you can't really have a majority of the appetizers or make a cheese board (which I was REALLY looking forward to). However, the food we did get was good - the black sea pasta was tasty. read more

The presentation of the food was really nice but the dishes lacked flavor. The lighting was also very dark. Had to use the light from my phone to see the menu. Services also could have been better. We were part of a large group that had only one server. She was great but a group that size needed more than one server. Might try again to see if the food is better for a smaller group size. read more

Went for lunch. Not a lot of people so I was glad we were sat without having a reservation. I was a bit worried since it was a last minute decision on a Friday. Very friendly staff. Ordered the soup of the day chicken tortilla and the French onion. I love French onion soup soley for the cheese and broth Soup was slow to come out. No big deal at all. We were in no rush. Manager came out to apologize. Not the worst thing to ever happen to me lol My husband got the 90 miles to Cuba sandwich. He said 90 days to Cuba since we are obsessed with 90 day fiance. He really liked it. I got the black sea Alfredo. Had shrimp, octopus, scallops and roasted red pepper with said ink pasta. Roasted red pepper alfredo was so flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly. Cute decor. Didn't see upstairs though. Along with 2 glasses of wine it was $100ish. Not too bad. Great variety on the menu so we will be back. read more

We drove over an hour to meet people there for an occasion. I wish I could remember our server's name because she was energetic and sweet and didn't mind our large group. Her service was great, one drink order was wrong, could have been the bartender. I thought the prices were high for where we were. My husband and I had different meals and were not seated near each other. We both thought the food lacked flavor/seasoning. Mine was a short rib bolognese which should have been very rich. I don't recall what his was (jambalaya?) but he and another friend asked for hot sauce to give it some flavor. We had a good time because we were with friends, I would not send people here for the food. read more

Food and service were both excellent. I will return. They have a nice selection of scotch.

Great atmosphere, food, and service. Only hard part is finding parking sometimes but definitely worth it!
