Since the opening of their acclaimed Restaurant Nicholas in 2000, Chef Nicholas Harary and his wife, Melissa, modernized the concept of fine dining. This mainstay of Red Bank garnered some of the industry’s highest praise, including 15 straight years as Zagat’s highest-rated restaurant in New Jersey, a 4-star review in the New York Times, and a position on several national “best restaurant” lists.Now, with Barrel & Roost, the couple strips off the white tablecloths and serves up a bold new menu: made-from-scratch food that’s crazy-delicious, yet entirely accessible any night of the week. Set in a newly redesigned modern farmhouse interior, Barrel & Roost is just the place to enjoy Chef Driven Comfort Food with family, old friends, or a grab a drink at the bar for date night!

Hafid Elbroji, the general manager and the assistant manager were great. They tended to every detail. We also.met the executive chef who came out to greet us. The food and service was outstanding. After the meal we have dessert and cocktails in the adjacent lounge in front of a wood burning fireplace. A great Saturday night experience!

Had an amazing dinner with Girls Night Out, there were 7 of us. Wonderful service, food was great, but I have to put this here: The French Onion Soup was to die for, the best I have ever had.
