Reviews
We walked in here on a Friday night with no reservations and 4 people. They accommodated us at the bar and assured us we could order the full menu.
We were immediately greeted by the bartender and offered waters. She took our drink order, and even made a custom cherry limeade mocktail for a young person in our party.
We browsed the menu and placed our orders. Someone who appeared to be a manager (or in management) joined the two ladies behind the bar and made sure that everyone was taken care of. The manager were present but not invasive, attentive but not annoying – so it was perfect!
We started the evening with an amuse-bouche that was perfectly executed. My mocktail was fantastic.
I opted to have a salad and a starter since I wasn’t super hungry. Both were beautifully plated and served at the exact temperature.
We were too full to order dessert, but we were offered chocolates from the house. THIS is how dining should be.
The vibe inside was cozy and cool, but not trying too hard. I just really enjoyed our meal, our service and the whole experience. So much so that we’re planning another trip back to Atascadero, MAINLY just to dine here.
I will make reservations next time though!
If you’re the manager reading this, definitely give Frankie a raise!
I would highly recommend requesting seating at the chef’s counter, where we had the pleasure of watching the talented kitchen team work their magic. By virtue of sitting here, you also may receive a little something special 😉 Both the head and sous chef were very friendly and happy to chat with us during our meal, and are obviously comfortable working their magic in front of an attentive audience.
Our server, Darcie, deserves special recognition for her exceptional service. She was not only friendly but also helpful and went above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable. As new residents in Atascadero, her enthusiasm to share her favorite local spots made us feel welcome and appreciated. Her attentiveness throughout dinner was also much appreciated.
The ever-changing monthly menu at Barley and Boar adds an element of excitement and surprise, so if you find something you love, don’t hesitate to order it as it might not be available the next time you visit.
We started our meal with the raw oysters from British Columbia, served with a house-made mignonette and a pickled spicy chili relish, and they were absolutely delicious.
For our main courses, we ordered the pan-seared scallops and the slow-smoked bone-in beef short rib. The scallops were were cooked flawlessly and served over a bed of delicious grilled pork belly slaw. The short rib was fall-off-the-bone tender and incredibly flavorful.
The restaurant’s reputation for outstanding cocktails held true, as my “Fit For a King” Old Fashioned was hands down the best I’ve ever had while my wife thoroughly enjoyed her glass of the Sans Liege Rhone Blend white wine.
We concluded our meal with the warm, homemade donut holes served with slices of fresh peaches and blackberries over top of house-made creme fraiche, an ideal sweet ending.
Overall, our experience at Barley and Boar was outstanding, and as new residents, we are grateful to have such an exceptional restaurant within a short distance from our home. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting and fun. While not an inexpensive meal, we left feeling the exceptional food and attentive service made it well worth the cost for a very memorable fine dining experience.
Last night was consistent with our first visit. The service upon arriving was exceptional from the hostess, to our waiter, to the kitchen staff, and in between. The entire team here is super friendly and interactive. I highly recommend making reservations at the counter where you face the open kitchen and get a front row seat to watch the amazing group of chef’s and sous-chef’s that make all the dishes at B&B from scratch. Sitting here seriously makes me appreciate their craft with the attention to detail they display.
Food wise, we started by sharing the Bread and Butter, the Steamed Clams, and both ordered “The Beef” after it was recommended by our waitress. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. When it came to the entree, the meat fell off the bone and the jus it came with was exceptional. The side of potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables were also a great touch. Also ordered the ‘Fit For a King’ old fashioned that was part of their expansive spirits/wine/beer list. It was one of my favorites in the county.
Special shout out to the kitchen staff for the incredible Amuse-bouche for the 2nd straight visit. This time it was a piece of tender steak with kimchi and habanero dressing. Second shout out to the staff for all the personal touches on our dinner. It meant a lot to my wife to have her 30th birthday recognized by your staff so sincerely and she absolutely raved about the chocolate mousse desert that had a strawberry chantilly cream & salted strawberry foam that you provided us with at the end. We seriously can’t recommend this establishment more to locals and to celebrate a special occasion. Can’t wait to go back in the future!
Unfortunately that was not the case. We were very dissapointed, we wanted to get the whole experience so we arrived at 4:00 P.M. to start with the happy hour. The Gimlet was like lemonade, and a short pour. Then the food, I ordered the burger, and for $27.00 you would think it would be a great burger, not so, it came out well done, dry and very little flavor, I asked for M-MR. The burger fell flat and I would never order it or recommend the burger to anyone. The wife ordered the Boar (pork chop) had minimal flavor, dry and it was almost as dissapointing as the burger. I mentioned this to the server and she said “I’m sorry”, I well tell the cook. In my mind there should have been some kind of consideration/adjustment on the bill. The only bright side of the evening is they did comp a Bday treat, that was a nice gesture.
We will not be visiting anytime soon.
Potential Bday celebration turned out to be a major dissapointment
