"The animal potatoes had a gourmet twist reminiscent of Animal Fries from In-N-Out. They featured an intriguing mix of textures and were seasoned perfectly. The New York strip was a standout, presented with flair, and would compete with some of the finest steakhouses in terms of quality. It was seared to perfection, smoky, and cooked exactly as requested.
Now, let’s talk about the dish I ordered, which would earn Barbareno a 6 out of 5 if I could: the miso black cod. This dish was plated like a work of art, and every component was purposeful, not just decorative. The fish practically melted in my mouth, perfectly complemented by everything on the plate. The nutty purée and the bright notes from the blackberries were exquisite. Such a unique dish makes me excited for their rotating menu and eager to return.
Finally, we indulged in the Baked California for dessert, which truly rounded off the meal. By that point, we were quite full and somewhat hesitant about the dessert, but it was so light and delicious that we finished it in no time. I can’t recommend this place enough for food enthusiasts and anyone searching for an ideal date night spot."
