    Service, food selection and quality, and creative drinks made for a wonderful evening. There was even music on a Wednesday evening. Tried fiddleheads for first time and recommend. Not sure where to go? Travel a few minutes outside Manchester and enjoy a great meal in a relaxing atmosphere.

    Amazing food especially the sauces. Crab cakes and soft shell crabs were really great - and we’re from Baltimore!

    Service was slow. Food was fine. The millennial throwback hits of the early 2000s playlist was extremely dated and annoying.

    Barrows House is one of the best restaurants around, and I always try to grab a meal there when in the Manchester/Dorset area.

    Jamie was wonderful !! ❤️❤️ we sat in the bar area which was our first time eating in that part … it was a little louder than the restaurant area!  It was the first time we brought our friends there. The service and the meal was delicious. I still like the restaurant area better, but there was an event there tonight.  Still cannot beat the food or the service. Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
