Barringer's Restaurant - Fish Creek

Wonderful food and atmosphere as we?ve always experienced! Shawn the bartender makes the best drinks and makes you feel at home. Literally. This is our go to spot while in DC!

Had dinner on a Sunday evening- made reservations and were the only ones in the dinning room! Food was good, service was friendly and fairly fast. I took one star off because the opening from the outdoor allowed flies in which took away from the dining experience having to keep swatting flies away.

Hmm. Stopped for some dessert and coffee mid afternoon. Bad idea. Not a thing was right: 1) Carrot cake was dropped off at our outdoor table in a box. That?s all.Just a box of cake. 2) went to get plastic utensils and a glass of water ourselves?no problem. 3) Waited no less than 8-10 minutes for our coffee. We thought they were brewing fresh. He forgot. 4) Delivered 2 cups of coffee?had to wait again for cream. 5) Again after a bit of a a wait, I walked in to get cream from the kid?s hand as he came to deliver it to us but it was sweetened. 6) Husband went in and asked for regular cream. The kid said ?we don?t have that.? My husband said ?yes you do. Go ask.? He came back with cream. 7) husband wanted ICE water. Asked at bar and bartender pointed to the side of the patio. My husband said, ?can I have ice please.? Received. 8) All of this for $16. 9) no refills on coffee offered. That?s it. We?re gone. They can have their white tablecloth expensive dinners. Maybe when they start to care about PEOPLE?we?ll be back. I don?t want to throw the young kid under the bus (maybe he?s the owner?s son) but maybe he should spend less time on his phone?

Food was good though they overcooked my steak (the waitress offered for it to be redone). Sides are large. The truffle aioli fries were fantastic. Large drink menu.

Loved everything about our recent dining experience here. The hostess was so charming and hilarious. She was able to squeeze us in for dinner much earlier than our online reservation. There was a wedding party going on at the same time, but it didn?t delay our service at all. Being our third wedding anniversary, we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the celebration and every bite of food was pure perfection. It was hands down the best dining experience we?ve had in some time. Our thanks to the staff!
