"We have thrived in Michelin-star restaurants all over the world and have always trusted this review as our experiences were always phenomenal. Yesterday Barndiva was a great disappointment. Our dishes were lacking in sophistication, surprise or the elevated artistry we would expect from a Michelin cook. The dishes were either too strong spices or oiled or lack of taste. We could hear from some neighboring tables (as we were crowded together) that they had a similar experience of spicy or inspiring tastes. Even the food presentation was simple and simple. Our service was subordinate and uncoordinated. We had to ask many times to refill our water to cool off the excessively seasoned first course. You missed clearing our plates before a next course arrived. We also had a birthday dinner and they only remembered at the end of the evening. We have asked for basic food allergies substitutions. The waitress was not aware of some dishes. It seemed to the boss lacked the ability to swing on some of the dishes and the result was even more disappointing for the dishes he modified. Note, some dishes were as intended and still subpar. The total value was not there for the meal. We have frustrated and disappointed. We had chosen Barndiva for an extraordinary birthday dinner. We've been overpaid. Even for half the price, it would still not be worth the money. We would recommend Guiso Latin Fusion for increased taste profiles, presentation and creativity for a fraction of the cost."

"The other reviews are right. We went on a weeknight and it was pretty full. The service is slow from the kitchen and the servers dont know the menu or the bar list. I get that there are 150 kinds of whiskey and scotch on the menu but he didn 't know a lot about it. The food is so so. The spinach ravioli was overcooked and mushy and drowning in sauce. It was too bad, because they used fresh spinach in there and the sauce had a good flavor. The shepards pie came out with a pasty lump of potatoes on top and the french onion soup had barely melted cheese on it. I guess the cooks never heard of broiling to brown the top of things. Again, the flavor was pretty good, but the presentation and finishing touches left a lot to be desired. We asked if there were any scotch or whiskey liquors on the menu. The waiter, of course, did not know, but asked. The answer, no. Really? There are a ton of these things on the market so that was surprising considering this is there differentiator. Fine. I asked if they had decaf coffee. The answer we only have caffeinated. Last week, we had only decaf!! So I asked for any kind of decaf/herbal tea. He brought me two versions of "lightly caffeinated tea! I 'm a tea drinker and I have never heard of this. Odd thing for a bar to have when they dont even have chamomille. Not sure who is ordering supplies, but clearly they need to pull it together. In general however, I liked the place. It fits big groups, wasn 't too too loud and had a fun vibe. The menu was broad enough and the whiskey/scotch selection rocked. I feel like they could make some minor changes, train the staff better and have a real winner."

"I been wanting to come here for quite sometime now. Everyone talked up their Beef Wellington as the best around. It was our Anniversary so we decided to take the 1 hr drive to Bell’s Mansion. My boyfriend made a reservation for 7:30p on a Saturday night. We arrived 20 mins early so we sat at the bar first, and had a couple of their signature cocktails. We both ordered their FRENCH MARTINI Grey Goose Vodka, Chambord, and a Splash of Pineapple Juice. They were excellent. The two lady bartenders were so sweet, friendly and nice. They made excellent drinks. We wound up being seated at 8:40p even with our reservation. We were very surprised that we were seated outside. We figured since it was our anniversary we’d be seated in their dining room. We were both dressed up thinking this was a dressier place. On their web page they say their business casual. People walked in wearing very casual shorts and tees, like they were hanging in their local bar.This is not what I was expecting. The hostess seated us. Our table outside was lopsided. My boyfriend had to get on his hands and knees and put napkins underneath the legs because our drinks kept sliding down the table. All the servers were busy and there weren’t any busboys to help. It just seemed like they had too many people and not enough servers. To make matters worse they had a big party going on inside in their dining room. This set everyone’s reservation back. Two ladies came in after us, and they were immediately seated.The two of them were immediately given water and their homemade bread. We continue to wait for another 20 mins before our server Christina came over.She was very friendly and nice, she did the best she could.We were told everything was backed up in the kitchen, too many people and a party going on inside. I placed our order for APPETIZER SATAY TRIO Marinated Chicken,Shrimp, and Beef in a Salsa Verde Sauce. It was good except it wasn’t hot. I also placed my order with the appetizer for two BEEF WELLINGTON DINNERS.(By the way, the Beef Wellington’s are $42 not $26. I ordered both Beef Wellington’s med rare more to the rare side instead of medium. We finally got bread and water, then waited another 20 minutes for appetizer, and another 30 minutes for our Beef Wellingtons. By this time we were starving. The presentation of my Beef Wellington was lovely. My only issue with my Beef Wellington was it was completely overcooked to Medium and my food wasn’t hot it was barely room temp. I’m not a fan of cold unseasoned mashed potatoes,they needed salt and pepper. My boyfriend’s beef Wellington was fine.I kept quiet because I didn’t want to ruin our Anniversary dinner. I knew if I sent it back it would probably be another 20 to 30 minutes and by that time I was done. After dinner Christina gave us a house shot of Polish Nalewka Driadka. The servers walk around with it and give out shots. It had a very interesting taste, like nothing I’ve ever tasted. We asked for more bread but they ran out. Their bread is all homemade and it was delicious. There wasn’t much ambience. Outside is a long L shaped bar and a bunch of wooden tables and chairs. There was a hillside garden but not a lot was in bloom. I got a bit cold, because I didn’t know I’d be sitting outside, and I didn’t have a jacket. I don’t know if I would return.If I did it would be for one of their sandwiches on their homemade bread. Their Beef Wellington for me was a bust! I wouldn’t waste the money on it. If I came here I’d get one of their huge sandwiches instead. We did not order dessert because it was already 10:30p and I was pretty disappointed."
