Barrel & Crow

"Service was phenomenal. Beer selection will accommodate many tastes. The menu appears simple but has lots of varying opitions. Food was perpared very well, delicious, well presented. Tends to get busy after 615p. Can grow very loud once filled with patrons. Service remained excellent when packed. Pictured is the Flank Steak (medium rare)"

"I came here today for brunch based on the reviews, but was highly disappointed. The leg/thigh piece of my chicken & waffles was served with blood inside, which is not only unappetizing but also a health concern. When I pointed this out to first the wait staff and then the manager, their response was not just disappointing; it was infuriating. They argued that the undercooked chicken was "perfectly normal" due to sous vide cooking and insisted that I "shouldn't be worried about getting sick." I had to cut off both of them to say I’m not going to argue nor am I interested in excuses about their cooking methods. I expected a basic level of customer service as how I wanted my meal prepared. This restaurant's dismissive attitude towards my concerns is inexcusable. It's crucial for any dining establishment to prioritize the well-being of its customers, and this restaurant failed miserably. The manager finally removed the dish from my meal, but by then I had lost my appetite because of the way I was treated. Of all the restaurants available in Bethesda alone, I will be finding another option to enjoy my Sunday brunch and spend my money."

"My partner and I had a great time here. The service was excellent, the food was great, and the outdoor seating is dog friendly. We haven’t had time to go on dates, so we did a lot of research and glad we chose to eat here. We happened to arrive during happy hour, and got the Duck Fat Fries and Salmon Sliders which were amazing and well seasoned, with the salmon being allowed to shine. We ordered the roast duck breast as an entree to share which was packed with flavor, especially the deeply roasted bits. We closed out with the beignets where were not too sweet and perfectly cooked. We got all the sauces with it, the chocolate and caramel which are made in-house and it was perfect balance of sweet and bitter. We plan on coming back often."

"My husband Joe, daughter and I went to Barrel and Crow yesterday evening 5/2, for happy hour. The service by Michelle was outstanding. She went over the dinner specials and made sure we had the happy hour food and drink menus. She was pleasant, funny, efficient, and took care of every request. Michelle could not have been more helpful or more pleasant."

"My friend and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner here on a cold winter Saturday evening. The salads, roasted beet and mixed green, were bright green with lots of tasty bite-size veggie additions. My smoked duck breast was done to perfection. My friend 's rockfish was exquisite. The almond cake dessert special hit grace note of sweet without sticky, and made a fitting end to a memorable meal."
