From the outside it doesn't look like anything, but inside is amazing. It's a nice big clean space, tables are spaced out you don't have to listen to your neighbors conversations. Food is amazing!. My whole family, we are very gourmet people, so we say amazing we mean it :) . Portions are big and fair, after the check you don't feel hungry :) We live in Westport, now if we will want to go eat out, we will make the drive up to this restaurant, because what you pay it's worth it and service etc all great. Our server Genesis was fantastic. Thanks! read more

Great Happy Hour! Consistently great food in a wonderful atmosphere. Large portions and friendly staff! We eat here quite often. read more

The service was rushed and inconsistent. Our main server would go mia - we had 4 different. But didnt say anything. Ordered a drink that was delicious. Ordered another and it was half as good as the first. Our food was very good. But then told dessert was not possible. I was a server for 7 years at the White Hart in Salisbury. This wait staff needs training. And you never close the kitchen until the last table is finished with dinner. It was definitely uncomfortable and disappointing because they wanted to get out of there. But part of the business is learning not to do that. read more

Great cocktails and food!! Nice atmosphere too The service was a little inconsistent: The fill up your water very (almost too) frequently, I disliked they ask if you want a box while you're still chewing and then need to ask for the check I'd go back to see if they read this ! read more

The outside was deceiving, we did not expect linen table cloths and the formal atmosphere. There were 4 of us for lunch. The food was a bit pricey. 3 of us ordered salads and 1 ordered a meatball polenta dish. For a pricey place I was surprised they did not bring out a bread basket. The wait staff seemed a bit lax. 3 of our meals were delivered correctly but 1 was missing the grilled chicken on her salad. The chicken arrived after the 3 of us had already finished. They were slow also refilling our water glasses. read more

A dinner here for a family birthday on a busy Saturday evening. We had reservations and were seated immediately. This is a very cozy restaurant. Our dishes were well-made service was prompt. My portion of cavatelli arrabiate was delicious. I'd highly recommend it to any spicy food lover. On the negative side, I think the restaurant ran out of drinkware midway through our meal. Beer was served in a dizzying array of glasses. In our case, not a big deal, but it can impact some beer styles. Also, parking can be a little bit of a pain. All and although it was a great experience and we will be back. I would recommend it. read more

Really enjoyed Barn Door. Everything we ate was excellent. Great menu and a long list of specials. It was difficult to decide what to order. The fried calamari was clearly fresh. The service was attentive and the food came out really fast and everything was served hot which is a pet peeve of mine. It's a little pricey but everything is these days. We will be back for sure. read more

Came here for an end of year dinner with my husband and best friend just to celebrate! We had an amazing night. The food was delicious, as was the wine. The service was excellent despite it being a busy night with a full parking lot! We were very pleased with everything. Highly recommend read more

I love the ambiance here, it's a warm environment with lovely details. The food is prepared well and is flavorful. No one in our party (typically 6) has ever had a poor dining experience. However, if there are vegetarian or celiac people in your party- it's not worth it. The food is really meatetarian and lots of gluten. This is sad for us because when our family members are visiting who are veggie and have celiac, we don't go here, so the restaurant loses out in all 8 of us. Celiac folks: beware read more

Went on a Wednesday night and there were a decent amount of people which I took as a good sign--and I wasn't wrong! All three meals we got were delicious! We asked for our fried calamari appetizer to be made well done and crispy and it came out perfect! And the decor was great too. Will definitely be back! read more

This has always been like home to me since discovering about 5 years ago. Always good variety, well prepared, great friendly and accommodating service and reasonable prices. And like sitting in my own living room. The perfect formula, no wonder it's so popular! read more

The filet of sole was excellent. Service was very good. The space was warm and comfortable. Definitely a great place.

This restaurant has been a long time favorite of mine. I love the decor with wonderful horse paintings , an open, but cozy dining room with a fire place ( great in the winter months) and tables nicely spaced. There is also a bar area where you can enjoy more casual dining. The menu has choices for all needs and preferences. I have always found the food to be prepared very well and delicious. Service is excellent as well and the owner often seats you or comes by to welcome you. My friends and I often choose this dining experience to celebrate together or just reconnect. read more

We had a takeout order when visiting a friends house nearby about 5 years ago and we got hooked on the quality of the food. Despite living in Norwalk with many restaurants to choose from, my wife and I frequent this restaurant weekly. The incredibly friendly staff and the warm atmosphere whether in winter or summer. Whether in the dining room or sitting at the bar they make you feel like family. Great food! Great staff! Great atmosphere! We highly recommend. read more

We came here for happy hour and loved everything about it! The staff was very friendly and gave great recommendations. The space is warm and nicely decorated.

We look forward to coming back for dinner sometime soon! read more

We ate here well over 7 years ago now. We happened to find it on an errand run while visiting family and it is just one of those restaurants that you don't stop thinking about. My husband got a sausage rigatoni with vodka sauce, I got the short rib ravioli and we started with burrata. I routinely STILL crave the short rib ravioli and judge all other short rib pastas by the delicious dish we had here. What I would give to have that ravioli again! read more

Absolutely delicious fresh bread and chicken parmesan!!! Perfectly al dente fettuccine. Wonderful, attentive, friendly service despite the restaurant filling up as soon as we arrived. Cannot wait to return! Thanks! read more

We have dined at Barn Door no fewer than 100 times and never had a bad meal and always had a great time. When we go there with friends they also say they've "never had a bad meal".

Quaint restaurant right on Route 7. Has a nice rustic charm inside. Was busy on a Saturday evening around 8, but we were quickly seated. Drink menu was large and the La Vie En Rose cocktail was good. Loved the lemon spaghetti and finished it all (which is saying something because that rarely happens). Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Prices were fair as well. A good American restaurant when in Ridgefield! read more

While we were in Ridgefield this past weekend, we had a fantastic lunch at the charming Barb Door restaurant! We absolutely loved the rustic vibes, and the menu has a great variety whether you're looking for pasta, burgers, pizza, seafood, and so much more! All of the ingredients are organic and locally-sourced, with many of the dishes having an Italian & Mediterranean influence. We have to commend the kitchen and wait staff on how quickly the food was prepared and their attentive service as well! When we were speaking with the owner and told him we ordered the Albanian pizza because it caught our eye, he went the extra mile and recommended that we add jalapeños as a topping. It was delicious, and we never would've thought to do that ourselves, so we were really appreciative! We couldn't have been happier with our experience here, and it's definitely a new favorite of ours in Ridgefield that I recommend checking out the next time you're in the area! read more

Visit #3 another smash success at Barn Door. We had a wonderful dinner at the Barn Door- oysters, arugula salads with wild salmon and shrimp and a summer julep- all were perfect!!! Staff very attentive Oysters were really fresh, must have been flown in Salmon was simply amazing, melt in your mouth are you sure it wasn't butter Salad had a fresh parmesean cheese which was again amazing. Nice bread to start the meal. Only downside was ... too much food, will have to leave defeated with a doggie bag. Ha! Oh the drink was great, the wines are nice the beer selection is solid, but this place hits home run after home run with their cocktails. Had a strawberry fields last time which was also wonderful and the portion sizes are very generous. I mean really generous. Great staff, great location what more do you want? Come on and give it a try. read more

Absolutely amazing from the service, ambiance & the food was beyond wonderful!! And we can't forget our awesome server Kayla.

Really good beet salad and dumpling. But are they are procuring their beef differently? Seemed off from their usual high standard, and the bacon was what I'd expect from a low end motel diner. read more

This is a cute little place right on Route 7 in Ridgefield. I had previously passed this place so many times but had not had a chance to dine there. On a wet July evening as I was headed home I decided to give this place a chance, They have their own parking towards the left of the restaurant and there were a few opening spots where I could squeeze my car in. Once inside, the restaurant is divided into two sections. On the right is the more family oriented and much lighted up room, while on the left is where the bar is, with a few TV screens and a much darker ambiance. Since there seemed to be more people on the right section, I decided to go there. The room is pretty large with about 10-12 tables of 4 scattered around. There is definitely a barn feeling with pictures of horses and chicken sculptures on the walls. Once seated, the service was actually pretty quick, there was a dinner specials menu and then a regular menu. They start off with a fresh loaf of bread that comes with a tomato paste and butter, which was really good. I ordered the calamari with hot peppers as an appetizer and the house signature beef burger as my main. The food arrived within 15 minutes and was extremely fresh. Loved the calamari and the burger was really good. It also came with an ample supply of fries on the side. Having devoured the Burger and a few calamari pieces, I realized it was a lot of food, so made some of it to go. Overall really enjoyed the service in particular and the ambiance and the food. Would be on my repeat list! read more

Consider starting with their cheese-topped onion soup. A nice salad next? Then you can't go wrong with any pasta dish. And for dessert, something special that you can't find very often--creme brulée. An Italian meal that is authentic without being ordinary. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. It's a bit pricy, but it is very good. The ambiance is very nice. It has a nice upscale barn theme complete with horse pictures and a fire place. It is very cozy. There's also a separate bar room. The food is very good. Everything we had was fantastic. The bread they bring out is quite nice, and the special red sauce that they bring out with it is wonderful. The people are nice and the service is relatively fast. They do tend to get confused a lot though, so don't be afraid to ask for something again. The prices are a bit up there but not too insane. The pizza is the best way to go if you're trying to save money. It easily feeds 2-3 people and it is decently inexpensive. Everything else on the menu is probably $$ to $$$. Overall good experience. I'll be back read more

Food looked good but we will never know. Our drink order was taken, but only one soda was served. Obviously, no bartender as the waitress asked how to make my mixed drink, which was never served. We waited a half hour and our meal order was never taken. Only one waitress for the entire dining room. We couldn't wait any longer because we had tickets for a show. 40th anniversary dinner ruined. read more

Stopped on our way to a show at Ridgefield playhouse. It was a little out of the way especially with some winter weather in the area, but well worth the detour. Building didn't look like much from the outside but inside ambiance was great. Sat in the dining room across from fireplace. Service was excellent and fast considering we were already late for our reservation on account of the weather. Everything was excellent, apps, fish, pasta and dessert. The almond cake was amazing! read more

Food price / quality rating 8. The Chicken Scarpariello was excellent. Service was alright. I'd give a higher rating if the prices were a little more reasonable, or if a small salad (or similar) were included with an entree. It appears that all entrees are a la carte. Freshly baked bread is included however,l, which is very nice. The dessert menu is pretty standard, no real surprises. Two emtrees, two wines, and two draught beers came to $110, not including tip. read more
