The lighting and space is well designed with being able to reserve upper floor, bottom floor and main floor that has a bar. Reserve a place you would want I recommend a a full week ahead. There is valley parking and across the street. The servers make check ups, they take food allergies seriously and make sure to make the food safe. I recommend this place for those that want an experience of a fancy romance. Or a friend evening. Prices can range $$-$$$$ They allow you to see your check from a quick scan on the table. Great experience!!

Service was great overall!…read more We got two appetizers -- you definitely have to try the parmesan bread, it was amazing. The meatballs were good too, although the crostini was a little burnt. The pastas were excellent and probably the highlight of the meal. The steak was just okay, nothing too special. We ordered the prime cut and paid the extra $5 for the sauce on the side, but honestly it still felt pretty mid and not really worth the $75. Overall though, the food and atmosphere were good and we had a great experience.

Someone mentioned in another review that The Barrel Room is a hidden gem--and they weren't kidding…read more From the moment you walk in, the beautifully decorated interior stands out. It feels luxurious yet totally relaxed--perfect whether you're in the mood for a casual drink or a full dinner. The bartenders were not only fun and welcoming, but also clearly passionate about what they do. They were eager to mix up creative drinks and make recommendations, which added a lot to the experience. I came in for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety on the menu. Whether you're craving a sandwich or a filet, there's something for everyone. The food was delicious, and the prices were incredibly fair--especially for the level of service and atmosphere. Same goes for the drinks and wine list--great options, all reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

5 Star update- same great craft cocktails but adding that they have wonderful outdoor seating and…read moresome lovely dishes. We grabbed reservations for the outdoor area to enjoy the weather and were thankful for the shady tree cover. This time we opted for some bites and though the menus change seasonally, I would recommend anything featuring tomatoes. They use truly fantastic heirloom tomatoes that remind you what you're missing with the watery ones we get at the grocery store. Also recommend the Mediterranean Platter. It's full of veggies and the dips are YUM. As usual, the cocktails didn't disappoint. It's never a weekend in AMI without a visit here! Previous Review: 5 Stars for the best cocktails on AMI, and a craft cocktail bar vibe you wouldn't necessarily expect here. (Plus, the service is AMAZING) We walked in (no reservation) after dinner one weekend evening and we were greeted by Matt, who found us a spot at the bar. He gave us menus and a "wellness shot" -- delicious little concoction to wet your palate! Right away I was blown away by the interior and the menu. This looked like it belonged somewhere in Denver or Chicago, but I was thrilled to find it on the island! Matt helped guide us to drinks we'd like on the menu. I ordered the Purgatory, made up of Bourbon, chocolate bitters, agave and premium mezcal. It was divine!! We also ordered some warmed olives, and they were hot and so fragrant. Definitely something I'd order again at the bar. I was stoked to see they have a veggie-specific section on the food menu and can't wait to go back for dinner. I'll definitely make a reservation though, as it was pretty full. Next time, in terms of drinks, I have my eyes on the espresso martini (off menu, but saw a pic on Yelp), and the kiss kiss bang bang. Thanks to Matt and Emily who helped us with our drinks along the way. Sometimes these fabulous craft bars can be pretentious, but the service here was a huge standout. Can't wait to return!

I stopped by the Lost Kangaroo Pub and grabbed a lime carbless seltzer honestly tastes like Sprite,…read moreso yes, very happy. I didn't get any food and I'm not sure if they even have it. Service was super friendly and quick, Rico at the bar, hope I spelled that right, hooked us up right away. It probably helped by the fact that it was daytime so not at all crowded. Dive bar vibes for sure, but it's bigger than I would expect for a dive. Tons of games like pool, darts, pinball, and even a beer pong machine for two players, never seen that before, but surprisingly fun. Machines were about a dollar a game, so nothing crazy. Street parking was free for a couple hours where I was and there's indoor and outdoor seating. Women's bathroom had some hilarious messages and divorce dad music playing constantly. I liked it, my mom, not so much. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area and want a to just chill and drink.
