   Another fantastic evening at Bistro Barbaret with family and friends celebrating a birthday. Kayla and the entire team took care of us. Can’t wait to be back.

   Overall it was just ok. New York Whiskey Sour was very good. Campfire Manhattan was ok. A little sweet and pricey. $17 for a batched cocktail with Jim Beam. Notes on the menu to upgrade to Bulleit at additional cost. Just my opinion, but at $17, it should be built in glass with Bulleit standard. Macaroni appetizer was very good. I would not recommend the Steak Frites. Flavor was ok, but very tough and chewy. I understand I didn’t order a filet or ribeye (not offered), but again at $38 and served with basic fries, it was not impressive.

   Absolutely delicious meal including escargot, hangar steak and duck confit. The service was outstanding, I wish I could remember the waitress’s name. Highly recommend!!

   Phenomenal staff, true French flavor and quality. Get the foie gras mousse, you will not regret!

    We had been waiting to go to Barberet for quite some time...much of the experience was pleasant enough--food was very good and our server was great. But, we just expected something more from the atmosphere and decor. Given it was Valentine's day, there was nothing to distinguish the evening except a few (very high priced) specials. Nothing on the tables, no complimentary anything...and the furnishings, table settings seating were so uninteresting. Example, wine we ordered was poured in a glass that looks like it came from Dollar Tree. Not certain what would be a reason to return there when other restaurants in downtown Lancaster--401 Prime, The Belvedere, C'est La Vie, even Plough and Lombardo's--seem more exciting and interesting. Granted, the bakery at Barberet was very good, but not being dessert people, that's not enough for us to return.
