To start, the Amaro Soda ($6) offers a nonalcoholic, botanical sparkling beverage perfect for a hot day! The Wagu Beef Carpaccio ($24) is almost melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfect for sharing. If you are a bread lover, order the Sourdough Bread & Butter ($6). It is definitely carb-worthy!! Moving on to main dishes, I had the Risotto ($27) and my husband had the Paccheri ($34). The risotto was cooked to perfection and topped with a delightful roasted tomato/olive medley. My husband's meal was fabulous--I believe I will order it the next time O visit. Dessert? We opted to share one scoop of the Lime-Cucumber-Mint Sorbet ($7). This is a dairy-free option, so the texture is slightly grainy compared to ice cream, but the flavor was perfect for summer. The staff members were pleasant and knowledgeable, our water glasses never were empty, and the food was spaced perfectly. We will be back!

And get the calamari, the frise and endive salad sort of dwarfed the calamari but it all tasted pretty good. I got the ricotta gnocchi, this was by far the best bite I had here. The burger looked and tasted good but the fries were even better! Decent drink selection as well. Service: friendly, prompt and they make good recommendations. Ambiance: I've never been to Italy so I'm just pretending this is what a small restaurant in Italy might feel like. Definitely worth a visit!

My friend heard about The Oak Parker from another friend, so we decided to give it a try and now I…read moretotally understand the hype. Walking in, there was very limited seating and about an hour wait, which clearly showed how popular this spot is. Thankfully, the hostess told us about their basement bar area where you can grab drinks and snacks while waiting. The downstairs area had such a cool speakeasy vibe dark ambiance, vinyl music playing, and honestly the perfect date night atmosphere. The drinks were REALLY good, and you can also order appetizers down there. Once we made it upstairs, we grabbed bar seating and talked to a few people around us who all said this was their favorite spot. Our bartender was amazing -- super attentive, explained the menu well, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the wings (perfectly seasoned and so good) and the chicken sandwich with buffalo added for a little spice... absolutely delicious. I also tried the pistachio martini, and wow definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. Overall, such a great experience from the atmosphere to the food and service. I'll definitely be back, and I've already been telling all my friends about this place!

If a NYC deli and a South Bay beach bar had a baby....it would be an Oak Parker! Little bit of…read moreSouthern Cal chill, little bit of NYC attitude. As others have said, it is always busy here and the parking lot is tiny (and very tight). I knew I was in the right place when they had a whole section of the cocktail list dedicated to margaritas. Mango margarita is my favorite adult beverage and they make a great one here. I was skeptical about the pastrami sandwich, but it blew us away. This masterpiece could hold its own against any famous deli anywhere. It is piled high with thick cut pastrami. Perfectly tender, perfectly seasoned. Shoutout to the homemade potato chips and garlicky dill pickle it is served with. Looking forward to coming back to check out the downstairs vinyl room and make our way through the menu.

I was in the mood for a hamburger and decided Jim Brady's was going to be the place…read more Historically, I enjoyed the inferno burger-- this burger was removed for whichever reason; however, it was back as a special! I ordered the inferno burger without hesitation. It was as I recall, a nice meat patty, with the bacon, crispy onions, spicy aioli and just wonderful. I hope they will soon add it back to the menu. The draft beers and craft cocktails were tasteful. I literally called my sister and said the burger is back you can go back and try it haha! Until next time Jim Brady!

Little difficulty with folks who aren't as tech savvy as there are not servers or menus but if you don't want a typical restaurant experience where you have to wait for everyone to arrive (you know you have those friends that are always late for everything!) to order this is your jam. Food has always been good and their drink selection is as diverse as you're going to find in the craft beer scene today. Yes, 1/3-1/2 of their taps are IPA's but that's what you people have done to this world.

It's been about a year since I've been here and the concept of this place still just blows my mind…read more It runs very well, and pretty much no staff. The business model is genius. A hostess who takes your money and gives you a bracelet, automated beer, and you use your phone to order from the kitchen, they text you and you go get your food. I wondered many times how they could serve alcohol and not monitor how much people were drinking? So I asked. The host is in the front said at the end of 32 oz is your bracelet will not work and you need to come up and see me to reset it. I guess that's how they would monitor whether or not someone could get another 32 oz? I'm surprised not more places have copied their business layout. With the new generation, this would be the place to go, you barely have to speak to anyone except for the people you're with.

My wife and I were in Ferndale for a meeting and decided to have an impromptu dinner date. Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!

Comfy booth, with some limited outdoor space. We first tried the bao duo appetizer and it was very flavorful and a good amount of food to split for two. We got Szechuan and Peruvian chicken, and each had a distinct and delicious flavor. I'd love to try more as I think the bao is a great canvas for flavor. Smash Burger was very good. Juicy and a bit fatty but very rich, and the fries were delicious as well. McDonald's shape but very much elevated. Came with a delicious aioli dip, which I could not get enough of. We wanted dessert but after a 20 min wait we were told the chef wasn't happy with how it turned out so decided he couldn't serve us that. No worries and appreciated the honesty. Food came out quickly, and waited was on top with the water. Reasonable prices and small menu make me want to try the other options knowing they're as well thought out as these dishes. Definitely worth a try!

Nick is waiting on us. He's warm and friendly. An American restaurant with Asian and some Peruvian flare to the menu items. Most items are shareables. Ordered chili crisp deviled eggs, general tso's cauliflower, feta wonton, imposter burger, mushroom bulgogi, elote Caesar less croutons, full grandma's house salad less cheddar. $116.60 The flowery plastic side plates and other plating aren't what I would have expected here. Interesting. The deviled eggs are yummy with the crisp chili. Not sure it's $14 worth though. I could easily get a 6 deviled eggs halves at holiday and throw some chili oil on top for $6. The feta wonton is yummy. The flat wonton is a nice riff on this app. It's a thin mini flatbread. Super crispy. Hot honey is always yummy. The general tso's cauliflower isn't my favorite. The breading is heavy and parts of it is super crunchy and hard, not just crispy. The imposter burger was so-so. Nothing special. The fries are thin and crispy, they are good. The mushroom bulgogi isn't too bad, maybe better if the shiitake wasn't dried. It tasted rubbery, which is usually a trait of the rehydrated dried mushrooms to me. Decent flavor. Love the ginger seasoning. The sushi rice isn't as good as I expected at all. Mushy. The house salad is okay, nothing fancy or unique there. Needs something notable for the dressing, tasted too plain. The banchans are so-so for an Ameican spot. The cucumber and broccoli aren't doing it for me. Kimchi is kimchesque. Service was good. Experience is unique.
