About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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!

    We went for brunch, and it was a great place with pretty amazing food. People were nicely dressed, as well as casual with football jerseys. Staff was friendly and never made you feel rushed. An extensive wine and cocktail menu makes it a great place to socialize and enjoy a good meal. We will definitely be back for dinner one day.

    Very lively. Food and servers were great. Price on a glass of Quilt Cab quite good and so was the wine. My wife and I shared mussels with pomme frite and pasta bolognese. Both were quite good. Overall great experience.

    Service and food choices were top notch. Servers friendly and well trained. Food flavors and portions were very good. Hard surfaces in decore and open areas made high din level made conversation challenging at times. Truly enjoyed this gem.
