    Brussel Sprouts

    Great atmosphere, nice people and want to love it. Low hanging fruit to fix. Proper serving utensils (all - steak knives, spoons for sides), dishes hot, toilet paper in bathroom...felt frustrated and bad having to ask for the simple things. Never were asked if we wanted dessert just brought our check. Speakeasy is fun touch. Dinner roll option might be nice. If service were on it and kitchen sharpened a bit - this could save a drive and maybe draw from larger area. Bartonville needs a spot like this so hope they can step it up just a bit.

    The restaurant itself was very good. Unfortunately the hostess was extremely rude. We sat down and our waiters were very nice. Drinks were on happy hour so that's good and the food itself was very good. The bread pudding was excellent.

    Monday burger deal - so good!

    We went here in October; hadn't tried it because I kept hearing about high prices. It's not! Their prices are reasonable, their happy hour is generous, and they have a burger special on Mondays. We loved everything we tried - perfectly cooked, served promptly, just terrific all around. If you're lucky enough to get Eleanor as your server, take every recommendation she offers; you'll be glad you did because she's outstanding. We sat on the patio and totally loved the vibe - from lighting to the pond to their creative selfie wall, it was great.

    The best drinks in Denton County! Blake is a mastermind mixologist. You will not be disappointed with the cocktails here. Love the vibe of the main bar and the speakeasy. Clint was a wonderful bartender this evening. Love this local gem!

    I received a Barrel gift card for Mother's Day and couldn't wait to get over there to use it. We came on a Saturday evening around 5:30, had a reservation and was seated right away. Our waitress was incredibly kind, offering recommendations and suggestions to make our dinner choices more delicious! We sat outside where is was very cute and had a nice water feature running next to it but I do think after May it might get uncomfortable at certain times of the day due to the heat. We tried quite a few things while we were there - salmon wontons which had wonderful filling and crispy exterior. Some drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic, the waitress was also very patient with me when I confirmed my drink was non alcoholic which I really appreciated. We also had two delicious entrees, the ribeye and the short ribs. We both really enjoyed our own as well as the other persons. Depending on your mood and possibly how hot it is outside you might prefer one more to the other but I found both to be delicious, served quickly and very filling. We splurged and got the bread pudding as well and it was so incredibly good but after we ate everything else it was the one thing we didn't eat completely. I highly recommend The Barrel especially for a date night!

    Let's preface this with first! How in the hell did we not know this place was here 5 years living right down the road! I am head over heels that we found this Amazing Place! If your a Bourbon Connoisseur they have you covered! If your a Wine Connoisseur they have you covered! If you enjoy Great not good but great food Chef has you Covered! You want Personal attention from your waitstaff, they have you covered! You want extremely clean and well kept they have you covered! If you want Food that makes the pallet dance with excitement waiting for the next course this is a place for you! Don't rush it take it in, the atmosphere, the taste, the smells of exquisite food. We came in and were promptly greeted by Ashley who seated us immediately. First thing that was noticed was the placement of the Silverware, which was polished to a brilliant shine, the Wine and water glass, not a single spot as one would expect in a fine dining establishment. Our Waiter Xander quickly came to the table, and when asked about house favorites was quick and knowledgeable about the menu and foods! Absolutely spot on descriptions, including the sauces and flavoring of the foods! We choose the Oysters and Deviled Eggs appetizers! What a great recommendation the Oysters were not only fresh ( clean and clear) the sauces sent with them were traditional and very fresh it is apparent in the taste! The deviled Eggs are not your Grandmothers Thanksgiving Eggs they are better just don't tell Grandma.. My Wife ordered the smoked Duck meal, judging by how quickly she cleared her plate I can say it was beyond delicious, and she is picky as picky comes. I had the Ribeyes and I am a Beef purist, no sauces just give me the meat! Cooked perfectly, I didn't need a knife this steak was simply amazing, I have had 140.00 and Ounce WAYGU that was not nearly as tasteful and so perfectly cooked as this steak was. The sides were some mashed potatoes and asparagus both flavorful and perfectly paired with this steak. Now I orders three orders of the scallops with my steak as I love scallops, these were not dainty little scallops they were big and tasty. Perfect cook on the scallops seasoned just right still allowing that sea taste to come through! We opted for the homemade Bread pudding, wholly Mother of Mary! This dessert should be illegal it is so absolutely delicious you have to tart it all, you can be completely stuffed you will make room for this dessert! I can not say enough about how well we were treated by the amazing staff, our Waiter Xander was truly an absolute pleasure to speak with, and a consummate professional, his recommendations were spot on! We are planning our next visit and I guarantee you it will not be another five years before we return, so glad we found this amazing spot! To whomever owns this little slice of heaven Thank you kindly for providing this area with such An awesome and well managed establishment!

    First time customer. Service was excellent with Eleanor! Hostess and crew were also super friendly!! Atmosphere had a upscale chill vibe. Eleanor suggested the mushroom pappardelle and it was delicious. Came out piping hot. We also had a large group of 30 on the patio that was serviced well and my son had the double burger- of which he said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had! I would definitely recommend and we will be back.

    We had a reservation and they wouldn't let us in because we were with our toddler. It was quite surreal. Not family friendly.

My husband ordered the grilled pork with vermicelli and I ordered the salt and pepper ribs. The food was so good my husband ate his entire meal in one sitting! My salt and pepper ribs were so flavorful with the fresh basil and spices. The garlic noodles were the perfect accompaniment. I took home half of my meal and ended up having two more small meals just so I could savor the food! The iced coffee was perfection! It's so conveniently located for us and I would definitely recommend making the trek to our neck of the woods. You won't be disappointed. Staff are great so come and support this family owned small business.

    I'd give this place 5 stars for ambience alone--it's a really nice spot to sit and hang out…read more Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the vibe. I ordered : Fried rice (2.5/5) - good amount of veggies, but way too greasy. Tofu bites (3/5) - crispy outside, but lacked flavor. Garlic noodles (3/5) - decent, but also on the greasy side. Mango chamoy smoothie (2.5/5) - more like a slushy than a smoothie. Overall, the food was just average. Nothing terrible, but nothing I'd go out of my way to get again. If you're into heavier, greasier dishes, you might enjoy it more than I did.

The experience was consistent with the same friendly, personal, amicable service that I received it each visit. The food was on par with what I've come to expect. And at Rustico, although the menu had few choices, one could tell that the quality represented there was consistent. Instead of trying to do too many things well, the restaurant has a few really good choices. At the table of six where I was sitting, we had burgers, steak, lamb chops, and I had Seabass. Plenty of different vegetables for sides and everyone satisfied. Not particularly stuffed, which isn't a bad thing. The location didn't seem conducive to big parties and even finding seating for our group of six seemed intrusive to the flow in the restaurant. Grace, our server, did a fantastic job of greeting our table, ensuring that we were well informed about the specials, and also ensured that we didn't miss the opportunity to order some happy hour drinks and appetizers before 6 o'clock rolled around. The only things that I would change would be having accommodations to suit larger parties, and possibly offering some specials that weren't just derivatives of menu items, but were truly special items. Verdict: Go check it out... multiple times. The value of the food and service combine for a well-rounded dining experience.

    Usually, when Yelp sends me on a 30-minute trek for lunch, it's because the algorithm has decided I…read moreneed more "character building" or that I haven't spent enough on gas this month. My "quick search" for local Indian food spat out Delhi6 Indian Kitchen & Bar as the top choice. Thirty minutes and 14 miles of Highland Village pavement later, I checked Google Maps only to find there was an Indian spot one mile from my location. At that point, I wasn't just hungry; I was "Yelp-betrayed" hungry. Walking into Delhi6 is a bit of a trip. I expected a standard restaurant; I got a lounge that felt like I should have traded my sneakers for a velvet blazer. It was dim, moody, and featured tabletop lamps that made me feel like I was about to negotiate a high-stakes merger--or at least a very serious order of Garlic Naan. I was greeted by Rohi, a man so well-dressed he made the rest of the room look under-rendered. He introduced himself as the acting manager and dropped a line so bold I almost choked on my own anticipation: "This is the best Indian restaurant in all of Texas." Sir, those are "fightin' words" in a state that takes its spices as seriously as its brisket. My expectations didn't just rise; they hit the ceiling. To see if Rohi was a prophet or just a very stylish salesman, I applied my standard Indian Food Litmus Test. No fancy bells and whistles--just the classics. Their menu, by the way, is a literal tome. It's as thick as the Cheesecake Factory menu, but thankfully with fewer pictures of Glazed Salmon and more promises of cumin-induced euphoria. The Tandoori Chicken was smokey, tender, redder than a fire engine. It had that perfect "kissed by the flames" char and a deep, smoky soul. The Chicken Tikka Masala balanced creaminess and spice. It was sweet, savory, and vibrating with bright spices. The chicken was so tender it practically dissolved on impact. The Paratha was dry and a bit tough--the one "C" on an otherwise straight-A report card. Despite the paratha being more "cardboard" than "cloud-like," the rest of the meal was a revelation. I found myself nodding along to Rohi's bold claims with every bite of that Tikka Masala. The flavors weren't just good; they were "I'm glad I drove 14 miles for this" good. It's right up there with the heavy hitters like Taj Mahal and Café Maharani. If I ever find myself in Highland Village again--or if Yelp decides to trick me into a cross-state road trip--I'm stopping back at Delhi6. Thank you, Yelp, for being terrible at math but excellent at finding me a five-star "mistake."
