| - Went here yesterday for lunch with my wife and neighbor. We wanted to try something new, so we came down to Mill Ave to the Blasted Barley. REALLY nice place! VERY big, probably a GREAT place for nightlife.
We sat at the bar and were handed the Beer Menu and a "Brunch Menu". They have a VERY nice Beer Selection covering MANY local brews as well as their OWN! We were then told that the "limited menu" was actually even MORE limited than it looked. We were told we could have "Brunch", (5 different choices) where everything included eggs. Even the Nachos had eggs on them! We were told that we could order Brunch, but NONE of the other sandwiches they had on their menu. They could do a burger, but that's it!
So, I thought I'd have a Burger! My wife ordered the Nacho like things w/eggs. My neighbor had the Eggs Benedict Special. The food came and was actually VERY good! However, IMMEDIATELY following our meal, (2 mins) my wife said she felt sick! She ran to the bathroom and ended up throwing up. Instantly feeling better afterwards and NOT being sick when she entered, nor AFTER throwing up. We came to the conclusion that ONE of the beers she had, was probably BAD! That's exactly what happens to a person when they get hold of bad beer that's sat too long in a keg, without selling.
I'd have given them a much higher score had they not had a "limited, limited menu". Over 50% of their limited menu wasn't even available to order. The Staff was nice and friendly. But they're restricted in what they can do. They don't make the decisions to not serve food in a restaurant. They'd also have gotten a higher score had my wife also NOT gotten sick! Not sure if we'll be back
