One Barrel American Bistro & Wine Bar

Walked by this place on a Saturday afternoon and decided to stop in as the open air seating options were plenty and we felt comfortable enough to grab a seat, a bottle of wine and a quick bite. The wine list was solid and the food we tried was phenomenal. The calamari was perfectly crispy and came with 2 tasty sauce options and the veggie tacos were stellar. Roasted veggies with goat cheese in a simmering skillet with a side of warmed corn tortillas. Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu as the photos I've seen online look amazing and the food we've tried so far has been top notch! Purchased a bottle of wine on our way out the door to enjoy at home for a very reasonable price (cheaper than at the local liquor stores). Felt good to enjoy a meal out and support this local business at the same time. Highly recommend!

The chefs at One Barrel are highly talented. It isn't often that I find a place that prefects poutine. The fries and gravy were done with absolute perfection. The entrees were done with perfection as well. I singled out the poutine on this post because it's not easy to make it perfect. Wait staff was also incredible. I plan to go back a million times over. FYI... this is coming from a foodie and culinary graduate from a highly reputable university.

Chose this restaurant at the last minute. I think that due to covid it wasn't that busy. It was also a Tuesday night. We had really good service. The appetizers were pretty good, had korean nibblers and stuffed pepper. The second was a green chili corn chowder, it was amazing. The pork chop entree was great, but the scallop entree was a little over cooked and over salted (really salty). Wine selection wasn't great for a wine bar, but had some decent popular wines at a reasonable price. I enjoyed it, but not sure I would be excited to go there again in the near future.

We wanted to go there since it opened, but then the pandemic struck. We finally got over there yesterday for my wife's birthday. Happy hour was great, staff very friendly, food was delicious, we probably had 5 of the appetizers from the menu, each one better than the last one. Will definitely be back.

Extremely disappointed with this restaurant. Took my wife out for a nice dinner on Saturday night and received poor service and unacceptable food. Our waiter visited us only twice, briefly, during our hour long experience and we were only able to order drinks and a single appetizer.nnThe carpaccio that we ordered tasted good but we found butchers twine when we ate it. When we brought it up for discussion with the manager she only took 50% off our bottle of house wine and gave us a poor excuse. Why cheapen the wine when the issue was with the beef?nnNot wanting to deal with this any longer we decided to leave with no questions asked and took our entree business down the street.nnCheck out the other local establishments. Much better.
