Barrel & Bushel

"This is a modern and upscale take on a bar. Tables are mostly communal style, with a couple of 4 seaters. They use high-quality ingredients in their food, and it's clear they take time to get the perfect presentation. Prices are a little on the high side. For instance, the kids' meal for a chicken dinner with fries is $14, and that's just a piece of fried chicken breast with fries and some carrot strips. Portions are good, though, and service is good as well. However, a couple of things made this a so- so experience for me: 1) The lamb burger I got was not good. I was expecting freshly ground lamb formed into a patty, but the patty was instead compact, dense, and had the consistency of gyro meat that taste pre-processed rather than fresh. 2) The waiter made a mistake with my order and served me a fried chicken sandwich rather than my lamb burger. When I told him my order was wrong, he took the entire order back and gave me a new one. This took a while, so I watched the rest of my family eat and wondered: what did they do with the chicken sandwich I got? Did they toss it or serve it to someone else? It would have made sense for them to let me keep the sandwich and just get me a new lamb burger, especially in the post-COVId Era. 3) After we ate, we felt surprisingly empty. Our bellies were full, but our mouths craved something more. I'm not sure what it was with the meal, but it didn't leave me satisfied. We didn't try any of the alcohol selection which they proudly advertised. Perhaps that would have elevated our experience."

"The hot chicken sliders were delicious. The vegetables were a little over cooked. Our service was terrible. Jose Luis was extremely inattentive. On several occasions we had to ask another server for something we needed. The drinks from the bar were delicious and well worth the money. Also the google menu online is not the same menu in the restaurant, be sure to check the website. Overall, the restaurant was good and worth checking out."

"Located inside the Hyatt Regency in Tysons Corner, convenient place to have drinks and late meals. Sat on the bar this time and my bartender recommended the Angus steak started as I wasnt ready for a full meal and needed more than a small appetizer. This one was very filling with the protein and roasted vegetables. I requested some bread to sop up the sauce underneath the steak and it completed this tasty dish. Old fashioned bourbon was a little strong but after a busy workday, it's needed."

"My friends and I meet here pretty regularly for Brunch/lunch. We consider this "our hangout place." It's a nice restaurant with good service and one can always find something tasty to eat. We had lunch today. I had the Pub Sliders and a lemonade, followed by a latte for dessert. I enjoyed my entire meal. My friends had a burger (on lettuce instead of a bun) and an avocado sandwich. Everything was delicious. We will continue to go there for a meal when we meet."
