    These goat cheese croquettes... AMAZEBALLS as my friend Claire would say. Worth the hype, fresh, tasty food, fun cocktails, kind service team. Loved this place for a weekend brunch.

    One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The filet mignon is to die for, goat cheese croquettes are mouth watering, and the bacon-wrapped pork loin is surprisingly refreshing.

    If you're here for brunch, the bloodys are spicy, the "bitches of seizeme" cocktail is refreshing, and the eggs benedict (on a brioche & topped with bacon) is bomb.

    For brunch, share the pastry board. Also all the brunch cocktails are fantastic- loved the Gland Slam Fizz with orange flower water, strawberry gin and soda.

    Where do I begin? Croquettes—necessary. Cuban—delicious. Benedict—really good. Kale Ceaser—loved it/ Cocktails—can't go wrong. The service was impeccable and the champagne was flowing. ❤️👯👌

    Goat cheese croquettes are amazing, the frites are great and you should get something with heirloom tomatoes and/or beets, so tasty!

    The goat cheese croquettes were interesting. I liked them, but I could see how the lavender and honey would turn some people off.

    The Cuban is a great lunch item. The side salad of beets and radishes with watermelon was a nice touch.

    Bugs bunny or Daffy Duck, you can't go wrong with either the duck confit or the rabbit rillette for brunch.

    Made to sit outside despite an empty restaurant because we only wanted a snack and tables are all booked (all for 5:30?). Then asked for a card because they have had "runners" lately. A rocky start...

    Don't come with a group of 6, really limited menu. Keep it to a group of 5 and under and you get the full menu.

    When I think 'Barndiva,' I think cocktails. Not because the food isn't good (it's great), but because I was craving a big ol' fancy cocktail when I went, and the bar didn't disappoint.
