The Barrel's Head - Rothesay

The food was amazing. The staff was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely.

This restaurant is very welcoming. The service is great, they serve tasty local beer on tap, and the food from the Peddlers Creek menu next door is delicious. The restaurant is connected inside and has a fantastic patio with large windows that open to let in fresh air on nice days. Overall, it's a great experience.

Ordered the burger special. Daves Double patty burger on Texas toast. I have never sent back a restaurant meal but I had to. The Texas toast bread on the burger was not toasted. The top bun or slice of bread was soaked in through in butter, the thickness of wonderbread, and not toasted at all. The double patty was a patty cut in half...so essentially a patty cut in two and jammed between untoasted wonderbread. I tried to cut into it and there was literally no structural integrity and the bread just collapsed due to the soggy bread. Just a mess. So for the first time ever I sent something back. They remade the burger but it took a good 15 minutes to get a new one and by that time my family had already finished their meal. The burger was still a patty cut in half and was drenched in too much sauce. At least the bread was toasted and the sandwich had structural integrity. Then we are charged full price to finish off the night. The worst meal I have ever had at a restaurant which coincides with my first send back ever. That marks the last time I spend a dime there.

We popped in for lunch on our way into NOTL last week for a getaway. This is an outdoor and seasonal place to eat, with cute picnic tables and a terrific menu. Out drink and appetizer came quickly and then it was downhill. People who got there before us got their mains way before us, when we asked it was coming soon. When it did finally arrive it had onions on it- as in purple or red onions. My husband has a mushroom allergy so they offered red and green peppers which was fine, but never mentioned onions- it gives me hives. When it came I explained this was not what was ordered, no explanation by our server. At this point we were waiting over 30 mins from out appetizer- and was told to remake another one would take more time as there were other people ahead of us! Just the worst service ever- poor training and staff. We spoke to the manager and asked for the bill and explained the situation and he magically produced a pizza in 5 mins. He did apologize and we had to go as we were late with all the waiting. The food is really nice but also really slow and staff who don’t know what’s on a pizza or not when they substitute for allergies. The gentlemen manager on duty apologized and we understand to a point but I doubt I’d go back.
