    Cute place sort of off the beaten path. I didn't know until we got there that they are connected to SoCo Wine, which used to be in Wallingford. It's a bit far for a regular visit, but if you're in the area it's definitely worth stopping by. They've got good selections of beer on tap, which I hope to see them continue to expand.

    This is the place!

    Barrel House is a brewery with so much character! I'm so happy I discovered it! You're guaranteed to make new friends and have a great time here. We sat at the bar, Amanda was our bartender. I wish we knew ahead of time that they also serve food here. I would have much rather ate here, then where we did. I got a blackberry sour, which is actually sourced from another brewery, it's just my kind of beer, so tasty. Later I got Tart Monkey! Another great one! They have plenty of outdoor seating and games for those warmer months. They also produce their own wine. I went to the bathroom and there was a picture of Jason Momoa encouraging proper hand washing, if that doesn't do it, what will? They had some sad looking Poinsettias left over from Christmas with a sign that says "Poinsettia Trauma Center" you just have to laugh. There are plenty of board and card games available to play. They also have these miniature people sitting on the edge of a glass, we had a fun setting up various scenarios with new friends we made here. What a fun place, with so much to do here. I can't wait to go back to try their food, wine and outdoor fun!

    Outdoor sipping on beer, wine, cider, Prosecco...and live music on Saturdays. We were greeted with a friendly smile by Chris. The indoor bat is small but incredibly quaint. The outdoor has lots of seating and has table side service. Amanda runs around making everyone happy. We had the Isotta Manzoni sparkling rose. Perfect sipping on sparkling rose. Amanda said they wanted to open a comfortable neighborhood bar for all people. Well they accomplished that!

    Great staff, fun place to enjoy a drink. The outdoor area is big and a great place to enjoy live music.

    This place is a cute little spot in town, and they were kind enough to make space for our party of…read moreseven outside, which I appreciated. The menu had a nice variety, but overall, I wasn't very impressed. It seemed like our large group may have put some stress on the kitchen. One friend ordered wine that didn't smell or taste fresh -- the staff did open a new bottle and replace it, which was handled well. However, our meals took over 30 minutes to arrive, and when they did, they were warm at best. I ordered the steak frites with a side of spinach. The steak was undercooked, the fries seemed like leftovers, and the spinach was drenched in oil to the point that I couldn't eat it. Overall, it's an okay spot, but the experience felt off. Maybe it was just an off night for them.

    Located on the Main Street of a cute little town, the resturant looked promising. Super small…read moreinside but they had a great patio area that could accommodate our group of nine. It had an outdoor bar, fire pits, TVs, and even a live band the night we were there. The problem was they seemed to be severely understaffed. Our waitress was not only serving all the people on the patio but it seemed like she was also working inside and behind the bar. As you can imagine this delayed pretty much everything we ordered. And when some items came out incorrect, it meant even longer wait times. My wife ordered steak tips (or something like that) and ordered it medium. Most pieces were RARE so instead of asking to have it warmed up we took it home to cook because we knew everyone else would be done w dinner by the time it came back out. Overall, everything I tried was just ok. Nothing really stood out as far as the food went. The barrel aged mezcal Negroni was delicious tho!! Would come for a game to hang out on the patio and have drinks if I was in the area. Overall it was just ok, nothing exceptional and nothing that has me want to recommend this resturant to others.

The main entree was Chicken Cristin. I ordered it over pappardelle. It had two pieces of white chicken meat in a sherry wine sauce. It was covered with spinach, mozzarella, artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. It was delicious. For dessert I ordered the Gelato. The said 3 scoops of gelato, however it was 3 small spoonfuls. Order 3 different flavors. Except for the espresso, they all tasted the same. Not worth the money. The meal was very good, disappointed in the dessert I ordered. Service was good and they had off street parking. Would have given it 5 stars except for my dessert .

    Whoever said this place never disappoints should have been at my table today. I've come here many…read moretimes but the last 2-3 times it has been lacking....and I always get the same thing..Bistro Salmon. Today, small, thin piece and the sauce was missing the usual honey sweetness and overly mustardy. Squash barely cooked and a few pieces of asparagus that looked more like string beans. Basically not much on the plate for $33. The service was also bad. The waitress was absent from visiting our table in the beginning , middle and end of our meal, had to ask her for water, she never asked us how our meal was and was, didn't clear our plates etc. it was poor all the way around this trip. Maybe chef was on vacation with the usual servers!!

    Who Knew? Father's Day 2026 was our first visit to Chamard, and from start to finish I couldn't get…read moreover 1. the simple existence of this restaurant 2. the exterior and interior 3. the service (blessed twice with Garret) 4. The Food and 5. the entire staff. Having just returned for a special family gathering (with a birthday thrown in), my brother, sister-in-law, and sister from West Hartford and Simsbury were blown away. I should note both my visits were in the daytime. Besides the rustic beauty of the vineyards, the grounds are lovely and set a peaceful tone for the restaurant. The interior is beautiful and with plenty of warmth and natural light from the windows. The walls are adorned with artwork for sale but tastefully done, as was a handcrafted bench (which I bought!) that allowed me an opportunity to sit and soak in this surprise dining experience. Our server for both experiences was Garret and honestly, we are spoiled - polite, upbeat knowledgeable and accommodating - even when he was the main server he never ignored our table. Every food course over two visits were nothing less than fantastic - from flavor to presentation the food was perfectly prepared. The server in taking the order and the wonderful chefs were both very accommodating for a member of our party with dairy allergies. From the website and now two visits this is not a winery tour or exclusive wine tasting spot - this is a beautiful restaurant that makes (in the basement) and serves their own wines - even the red is made on property from grapes brought in from out-of-state. I will be going back frequently and cannot wait for the colder months, holidays and dinner by their fireplace!

Not too hot out so we were able to sit outdoors overlooking the lovely property. The staff is very friendly ans helpful.
