    Thassos always delivers exceptional service, no matter the occasion. The staff is attentive, friendly, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Every dish I've tried has been fantastic, bursting with flavor and crafted with care. Whether you're indulging in their savory entrees or delicious appetizers, Thassos consistently serves up culinary perfection. Highly recommend the Lamb Chops and the Bone-in Ribeye.

    I have been dining at Barrel Club since their Grand opening. My food is always served hot and fresh. Recently, I tried their brunch experience and was excited about the great menu choices. My brunch was hot, fresh & delicious. The drinks need larger glasses and are small offerings for the price. They need to increase menu options for lunch/dinner. The menu is limited with food choices; otherwise The Barrel Club is a nice atmosphere. It's a great choice for brunch or a relaxed, comfortable dinner atmosphere.

    Food always so good. We went at lunch time so not so busy or noisy. Service was inattentive and not knowledgeable about the menu.

    We went for our family and friends Thanksgiving dinner. There was a special Thanksgiving meal although they normally only serve Italian food. It was delicious and a generous portion. There’s a good wine and cocktail selection. The service was excellent. It was also Mom’s birthday and they made her feel special.
