Perfect. Almost down to the finest minute-details. Just be a tad more generous with the croutons on the ceasar salad.

They have the best pork chops in America. The filet mignon was cooked to perfect medium temperature and was as tender as it was delicious.

I didn't know this place was even here. The food, every drop of the food is made by a professional chef. Cooked to perfection and I don't say that about a lot of restaurants but the Barn, is that place. The price for dining is perfect. I am coming back, Sundays are my days. I dint care who doesn't want to come with me, I'll go and eat here by myself. And the back patio, a dream spot. Everything about this place is welcoming. I haven't had room for the desserts so, maybe next time. I normally do not eat anyone's waffles but I have theirs a try, I ended up eating 9 of them. So serves butter, a sauce and syrup for the waffles? Uhhh, now I want to go back again after typing this. Try it and see for yourselves. Great place!
