About
With a fresh, de rigueur exterior of barn-red paint, the interior expresses the warmth of a local tavern, using clean lines and a rustic feel. Accented with oak, restored branded wood beams, a white paneled ceiling and wrought iron lighting, the L-shaped room is refreshed, with higher ceilings and massive glass windows that open the space. As before, there is an open display kitchen observing the chefs at work. Newly created for the restaurant is a glass-enclosed wine room flanking the dining room that co-exists with two wood-burning fireplaces preserved from the original Red Barn. Firewood is supplied by the Agin Brothers, the family that has serviced the Nichols family with seasoned wood for

We both had the Prime Rib and it was great. Sides served with the prime rib... not very good, in fact the mashed potatoes were made with either water or broth? Carrots were hard as a rock but we’re supposed to have been cooked. The...More

Came for dinner with my brother- had the filet and the trout. Both were excellent. We shared a wedge salad which was more than big enough for two. Wines very good. Service friendly and attentive. Loved the strawberry shortcake too.

We wanted this to be a great food experience, but it was just average. The service was slow and it wasn’t because they were busy. The food was done properly, but my steak was a little on the chewy side. It had way to much...More

The meals we had were out of this world. From fish, to pork chops and the chicken was moist and excellent. Would return there anytime. Staff were also very nice.

They are fussy about fresh ingredients and are really accomadating so I agree that check in advance but it should be fine.

There's an area in the back you could probably use, but call them to make sure.
