We visited for our daughters’ birthday, and while the ambiance and service were absolutely stellar (5 stars!), the food was mediocre at best — especially for the price. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return based on the quality of the food alone. They definitely need new chefs in the kitchen.

Arrival & Seating: We called ahead to ask about the outdoor patio and were told it was first come, first served — no issue. But when we arrived, the hostess repeated the same info without offering to take our name or number for the waitlist. My husband walked back to the car with basically nothing to report. I went in myself and was greeted by Helen, who was fantastic. She immediately took my info and promised to notify me when a patio table was ready — which she did within 7 minutes. Shoutout to her!

We were escorted through a clean, buzzing kitchen — it was pristine and welcoming — and led to an empty patio with a firepit with NOT 1 table occupied. Kind of funny considering the first hostess told my husband that nothing was available moments before. But the space was lovely, and we were happy to be seated. Service & Experience:** Our server was great — friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He asked about dietary preferences and gave solid recommendations. The vibe and staff make you feel like you’re somewhere special.

Food:

• Cheese dip was artificial-tasting, like canned cheese — not for me.
• Spicy potato wedges (no bacon) were overcooked, dry and tasted reheated.
• Turkey wings were the highlight — tender and juicy with tasty dipping sauces.
• Crab cakes were a no for me. I grew up in DC/Maryland, so maybe I’m picky, but these didn’t hit.
• Ravioli (x2) — ordered one Alfredo, one Marinara. Both came out Marinara. The girls said it was "just okay."
• French onion soup — average.
• Baked potato arrived late and was clearly microwaved. I sent it back.
• Chateaubriand steak (husband) — he took it to-go but said the sautéed spinach was excellent.

Birthday Touch: At the end, they brought out a whole pound cake (not just a slice!) with whipped cream, strawberries, and candles. That was an incredibly generous and thoughtful gesture, and we truly appreciated it.

Final Thoughts: Angus Barn nails the ambiance and hospitality — from the vintage decor to their welcoming staff (minus the first hostess). But for what you pay, the food should absolutely be better. At these prices, I expected a memorable meal and instead got a forgettable one. Sadly, unless there’s a major overhaul in the kitchen, I wouldn’t return.
