Overpriced, but good.
That's my tagging for Oak Barrel, and it's reinforced every time I end up here. It still smells like the BBQ place it used to be. It's an extremely hip and inviting restaurant on the inside that makes you want to like it more than you do. There's not much else in the valley quite like it, but W 25th and Tremont aren't that far of a hike.
Last excursion was a lunch meeting, and we went light, with a white fish po boy and tuna tacos. The po boy didn't come on the traditional French baguette and the tuna tacos were good, but most of the flavor came from the guacamole.
I've drank here before too, and they have a good selection, built definitely top of the market prices.
If they were to knock a couple bucks off the meals and better drink specials, this could be a real winner.
