Had the mussels and they were excellent. My server Dakota was terrific. Just moved into the neighborhood so I'm looking forward to being a regular.
This was my first time back at Barbette in years, after moving away from Uptown. The food & staff were still amazing! We were sat immediately, which is always a plus. The restaurant itself is cozy with plenty of tables & lots of art on the walls. I have yet to sit at the round table immediately by the door, so that's still on the list! I got a vanilla latte, which was delicious. For food, I got the Wild Rice & Kale Bowl. It was a decent size & very filling; I loved the dukka, which I had never had before. I do wish the bowl were a bit more flavorful, maybe a seasoned sauce or some hot sauce would've helped. Either way though, it was overall delicious. I'll definitely be back to take advantage of their patio in the summer!
It's my first time there. The service and food were excellent. We were a party of 5. My wife and I split the steak tartar, which was great to start. I moved to the special of scallops. Perfectly done. My wife's chicken fricasee was tasty and tender. Fun vibe. Reservations are needed. We went pre-theater to a show at the Grenada, which was an easy walk.
Enjoyable food, good menu variety, and timing offerings (brunch, lunch, dinner). The restaurant itself is cute and cozy and service has been great each time I've been. Burger is good (4/5), French toast is great (5/5), steak and beef offerings have been fantastic (5/5), and of course the French fries are (7/5). Generally the apps are pretty good (tartare, cheeses, and scallops).
Always one of our favorite haunts in the uptown area of the city, the cozy decor featuring local artists work and staff have created a fan favorite base and the food is classically French without airs.... Even as a vegetarian and GF I can find options... Not going to lie, a warm baguette is a must if you can indulge! They have a lovely assortment of wine and beverage as well with full bar - choose to sit here if you didn't make reservations if you can find an empty stool! Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, seating is comfortable and well spaced and outdoor seating is a great option in the warmer season! Bon appétit In the foreground is my GF vegetarian option with sweet potato, wild rice, avocado, and egg (can be made vegan as well as adding protein with greens... also cauliflower gratin, and of course steak / frites with mayo (aioli shown here) is the quintessential French option!
Yum! I went here with a friend for her birthday brunch and it was amazing. I got the Le American and she got the Breakfast Tacos. I appreciated the traditional breakfast options available as well as some unique choices! We shared the Sticky Bun Cinnamon Roll and I have dreams about that dessert. It was SO good and came warm. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone. Inside was so warm and inviting, it feels like your friendly neighborhood breakfast spot. Everyone there was super nice as well. I'll be adding this spot to my usual breakfast rotation!
