| - Hiya Yelp Moderator!
My name is Jeffrey. I would like to review Barley Mill.
But I'm a bit confused. Um ... why are there two listings for Barley Mill Eatery and Pub? Let's fix this!
And while we're fixing this, there are some things that we could fix about the Barley Mill Eatery & Pub, too. It's an OK place, as in the food is edible and I wouldn't mind coming back here. But I would be more inclined if somebody else were paying for me. Like, say a company. Or a sugar daddy. Or a sugar mamma. Or an alcohol company.
I ordered the meatloaf, which was actually really good, but the vegetable side dish it came with -- seasonal vegetables, which meant carrots and BOK CHOY (really?! Kinda cool, kinda weird at an Irish bar lol) -- were disappointing, and to me, side dishes can be just as important as the meat. They were unfortunately overcooked and too tasteless.
Dessert is also key to me. My friend and I shared some peach cobbler -- which may have been my fault, because I usually don't go for peach. That being said, it was the right sweetness but a little soggy; it's still OK as a dessert.
Service-wise, I think there were hits and misses. We were 20 some people, and we had a reservation, but they didn't give us a space adequate for that many people. They had to awkwardly coerce people to move as our party started arriving and it became clear that yes, we were actually 20 people! Key word: awkwardly. We had one waitress take care of us -- she wasn't particularly friendly, and was direct almost to the point of rudeness, but she did manage to keep the dinner moving, was very efficient, and also quite patient.
All in all, it was OK, and I wouldn't be opposed to coming back here, but there's definite room for improvement.
