Barrel Co. - Rotorua Lakes District

Excellent service and outstanding kitchen staff! We have booked table for Saturday night and everything went smoothly from beginning to the end! Food was soo delicious, all dishes had amazing flavor and even presentation of the food was great! Bread starter was amazing! T-bone steak as a sharing is a must try for two! We would definitely come back! 100% recommended!

It’s not fair to give 1 star to a restaurant because the front of the house it’s a mess , wait for a table even when you reserve it , the waitress/forgot the entree and came after the main, no steak knife for a steak, didt refill the glass of water or ask which wine I would like my meat with… but the chef cooked the eye fillet perfectly medium rare/red wine jus. Thanks to the chef and everyone inside the kitchen .

I had the caesar salad with roast chicken.Very scrumptious. We sat by the window watched passersby. They have alittle outdoor area. Loved my glass of Opawa Pinot Gris. After your meal you can retire to a lounge area with comfy chairs

First time In Rotorua and I must say this place is absolutely divine! First of all, we walked in hoping to get a seat but was told they were fully booked for the night should have known, it was a long weekend anyway stood outside for a couple of minutes googling romantic dinner spots the lady from restaurant earlier came running outside ushering us back in someone had cancelled, Yay! The service was immaculate from the moment we sat down we had the pleasure of being served by the most amazing staff Sheryl bubbly with a wild sense of humour , quite the professional she is! Dinner was splendid really worth every single penny! We also had the pleasure of having the executive head chef visit our table who surprised us with a beautiful platter of sweets for our anniversary! I can’t thank the staff for making that night for us a special one! In all my years I don’t think I have ever witnessed such superb excellent customer service from Barrel Co. I 100% recommend !!!

Nice place to sit, good atmosphere, lovely staff. However pricey for what it was. Medium steak was more medium rare, drinks seemed a long time coming.
