Nice place, great atmosphere, mostly friendly staff. I would recommend making reservations. We did not have one, and the hostess was a little rude and told us we needed to be out by a specific time. Our waiter was great. Very helpful, exchanged a drink that wasn't too great. The other drinks were delicious. The food was very tasty, the dessert was delicious and we would highly recommend getting some. We will definitely come back again.

Barrel and Vine consistently delivers an excellent dining experience. The food is top-notch, the service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Our family has made it a tradition to celebrate birthdays here, and the Plainfield location continues to impress. Some of my personal favorites are the 90 Miles to Cuba and the Churrasco Plate with a side of Chimichurri Fries. Whether you’re looking for a great spot for a dinner date or a place to bring the whole family, Barrel and Vine hits the mark every time.

We came here for dinner and the food was delicious and our server was fabulous. The menu has a great variety for anything from salad to seafood to steaks. The atmosphere was nice although it can get a little noisy. There is a nice bar where you can grab a drink while you wait for your table. We will definitely be back to try more items!

Brie and Cheese crostini was delicious! Lamb shank was tender and fall off the bone. Love that they offered delicious and refreshing mocktails. Ambiance was warm and rustic.

Date night brought us to Barrel & Vine. We heard about this restaurant through my son. So glad we did. The food and cocktails were fabulous! There's a small bar area when you walk in and a larger dimly lit dining room room toward the back. Our server was Kayla and she provided good service and was friendly. My husband had one of their old fashioneds and I had a bees knees. Their bartender knew how to make the perfect bees knees. If you like bourbon, their bourbon list is a couple pages long and they stock some very hard to get and expensive bourbon. My husband and I decided to get three small plates and an entrée and split everything. We started with the brie and fig crostini - creamy soft cheese with figs on top of a toasted bread with a side of honey. Tasty. Next we had the grilled Spanish octopus with potatoes and a chimichurri sauce. Great flavor, however, heavy on the potatoes and skimpy on the octopus. It looked nothing like the photo from the restaurant. You can see the difference in my photo of what we got versus their Facebook photo. The next plate was one of their salads, the burrata and prosciutto - mesclun greens and roasted plum tomatoes topped with prosciutto and burrata with a little pesto and balsamic glaze served with grilled bread. Again, great flavor and loved the creamy cheese. Our final item was the chicken paprikash - braised bone in chicken breast in a smoked paprika tomato sauce with crispy potato dumplings topped with sour cream. We ventured into something we haven't had before, and I loved this Hungarian dish with smoky flavor and tender chicken. Service was good, cocktails creative and food delicious. We'll be back!

My server Kathleen was very pleasant and helpful. She gave recommendations on the food and was knowledgeable on details of the meals. The food an excellent and well prepared and presented. This is definitely a restaurant I would love to come back to.

The Pierogis were good, Burrata was ok. The Churrasco was perfectly cooked. Do yourself a favor and get an additional side of the curly fries as they were a standout. But, by far and away the best thing this restaurant has to offer is the cookie and ice cream dessert. It was likely the best skillet cookie I’ve ever had. An absolute must have. Overall a very pleasurable dining experience
