    Had a lovely dinner served by our lovely server Megan. Nice place, warm, traditional decor wood, high decorated ceilings, old pictures, old burgundy booths. We order Caesar salad with shrimp, pasty, and fish street tacos all to share. Greens were fresh and crispy, shrimp tasty, and very generous serving. I enjoyed the tacos, liked very much that was grilled fish and not battered-fried. My husband was lukewarm about the tacos. Pasty was good, from the bakery across the street Wind's. I love empanadas so this is similar a dough pocket filled with good stuff. This morning, before leaving town, we stopped at Wind's for breakfast pasties. Overall was a good experience.

    Ordered a drink and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and brown gravy and vegetable of the day. Drink was simple so way over priced at $13.50. Mashed potatoes were ok. Can't mess them up. Chicken fried steak had been run thru the tenderizer a few too many times and was unrecognizable. Brown gravy was made from a powdered mix and not homemade and very salty. Vegetable of the day is frozen stems out of a bag that may have been left overs or microwaved to mush. Just plain slop. Mentioned it to the waitress and she said she would let them know to change them out! What does that mean? For next weeks left overs?! No apologies and then got an attitude from her. Went to McDonalds down the street and that was better. No wonder this place was empty on a Friday night at dinner time

    All I can say is I'm sad! Why? Well I really liked this place a bunch and probably won't be back anytime soon. The bar is really comfy and has the right atmosphere and the restaurant has lots of booths and lots of interesting stuff to look at.

    Hat guy, is he an owner ?

    We sat at the bar and watched as customer after customer was cheated on their pours. We even followed waitresses so we could tell them what was happenings by one of the bartenders. It was a he. The rest of the staff were trying to be fair, it was obvious, what was happening. The atmosphere was great, food was really good. But their cheating on drinks !

    I'm not even sure where to begin with our experience at Barclay 2 last night. Instead of walking…read moreaway angry and disappointed (which in a sense we were) we couldn't stop laughing. It was one mishap after another. Mishap 1. Upon entering the restaurant on a busy Saturday night, there was no one at the host stand to greet our party of three. We stood there for about 5 minutes before a waiter mumbled something incoherent at us to follow him to a table. Mishap 2. About 10 minutes later our waitress appeared and took our drink orders: 2 glasses of prosecco and 1 beer, plus one glass for water as there was only 2 for our table of 3. Our drinks arrived: 1 glass of prosseco, 1 beer, 1 Moscow mule, and 0 water glasses. Mishap 3. When the waitress returned to place our dinner order, we requested that we wanted to order appetizers first. She hurriedly explained that she was trying to get all orders in before the "big group" ordered, otherwise it was going to be an hour. We told her we were okay to wait and wanted to enjoy our evening. She took our appetizer order and then instructed us to "wave her down" when we were ready to order. Mishap 4. When we had successfully managed to "wave down" our waitress, we placed our dinner order, as well as a glass of red wine and another beer for the table. The red wine appeared shortly after but the beer was MIA. Our dinner salads materialized and we asked that waitress to check on the beer. Needless to say, that second beer never showed. Mishap 5 Our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time and it was solid. (Albeit there was no salt/pepper on the table and we received mayo with our potatoes instead of butter.) Unfortunately, no server ever came back to our table to check if we needed anything else (a water glass and a beer perhaps???). The staff did eventually realize that we didn't have a water pitcher for the table so a small victory was achieved! Mishap 6. At this point in the meal, we knew that digestives and desserts were not in the cards for us. We requested our check, paid on the phone and left. Upon leaving, the hostess at the front didn't even lift her head to acknowledge our leaving for the night. Overall, we traveled 140 miles round trip for a "fine dining" experience and it missed the mark in nearly every way. The staff was frazzled, unattentive, and bickered with each other within earshot of guests. They let money walk out the door tonight and made no attempt at service recovery. We will not be returning or recommending Barclay 2 to others.

    The wait staff is very attentive. We had the tenderloin, burger, and steak salad, which were all…read moredelicious. The Chicken Parmesan flatbread appetizer was disappointing- the flatbread was soggy, and there was way too much cheese on. Still, I recommend Barclay II as the best restaurant in Anconda.

One staff member assisted all guests who came and went during our visit. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was very good. Plenty of meat and cheese on my sandwich. Side salad was a fresh mix of greens, thin slices of cucumber without the seeds, cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of seeds. The balsamic dressing is excellent. My SO ordered a tuna melt with chips and he was given four options of chips. Nice. They also have pasta salad or upgrade to side garden salad or soup, or add one for a bigger meal. The waitress was friendly and kept an eye on us. Food is fresh and tasty. Everything is clean. Restrooms in back. Art on the walls is for sale. On street parking is free. Highly recommend.

First off it's local, it's a small business, and they have a great variety of offerings for lunch or dinner. Today was a tuna melt day! This might be my favorite sandwich so far that they offer here. Their tuna is as close as I can remember my mom making when I was a kid, adding in the croissant was a great idea and the texture?!?! Excellent addition. I suggest getting the sandwich as is. You're welcome! Foot traffic was low today but the service was excellent as always, our server Clarissa said she was new but her warm smile and great attitude made her feel like an old pro. This place checks all the boxes from the great food, great service and cozy ambiance you can have a meeting here or go on a lunch date.

It was a good price for the amount we received and how good it was! Unfortunately, it's not 5 stars because it was very busy and understaffed.

This also resulted in us being forgotten about which led to a long wait time before being seated, and some food being forgotten to be brought to our table. Our waitress was extremely kind and apologized for the hectic environment which helped make up for the long wait.

I asked for a salad instead of fries and the waitress said "no problem". Salad was good, and the fries were great! In fact, my husband ended up ordering a salad after seeing mine. BLTs were the driest sandwiches we've ever had. Dry toast with no mayo or dressing of any kind, although the ingredients themselves were good. Hamburger was a little dry, but decent. I had ordered a coke and they brought me a big carafe to refill as I wanted! Big problem was that they were making a ceiling repair in the bar area and it was very loud with banging and power tools! Another annoyance when they brought the bill was that they charged me $2 for swapping salad for fries. She said that was their policy, though she never mentioned it at the time. I paid the same as my husband even though he got salad and fries with his meal. I said, "so I could have got my sandwich with fries and a salad for the same price you charged for just salad and sandwich?" And she said yes! Makes absolutely no sense! So, kind of a mixed review. It's passable if you need to eat in Deer Lodge. And, if you're aware of some of their policies in advance you'll probably be fine.
