Barrique is definitely one of the best restaurants in Babylon and arguably on Long Island. The outdoor seating is decorated beautifully and feels like a quiant European alleyway. They also have personal heaters they can turn on for you if it gets too cold outside. The food was phenomenal. From the meat and cheese boards, to the pesto gnocchi, to the short rib, my boyfriend and I were very impressed. The drinks were mostly great. My boyfriend and I loved the Gold Rush and the Butterfly Martini, however whatever Mezcal was in the Tropical Depression was a little too much for me. Thankfully when asked if I can switch it back to Butterfly Martini our waitress was super sweet about it and let me change it back with no issue. Finally the food did take a little too arrive but I guess you cannot rush perfection. I would just suggest not coming here if you are in a rush. But otherwise this is gorgeous place, with generous portions, thus I will definitely be returning!

Came here on a Friday night for a date night dinner for two, wait was only about 30 minutes. The place is just a little tucked away, but it has plenty of character once you step through the main door on the side of the building. The place offers both indoor and outdoor seating, we wound up with outdoor. Loved the look of all the brick and hardwood around, and the lights kept relatively dim. Sound level was good, had no problem having conversation at all.
Wait and bar staff were attentive and very friendly, even on a night that seemed to be on the busier side.
Starting with drinks, we had the red sangria and I also tried the butterfly martini, a gin based special of the week. Both were delightful, the sangria a little lighter than I personally prefer, but was just the way my date likes it. The martini however, was delightful, I pray that they make it a staple on their cocktail list! But maybe that's just because I'm a sucker for anything with pomegranate.
Food was delicious! Most things are tapas style, making it a great way to try a few things and split with friends. We started with the gorgonzola dip and truffle fries. Don't be foolish like us and almost give away your leftover dip if you run out of bread, they gave us more to finish it off! It's basically the best fondue I've ever had, and I'm usually not one for funkier cheeses. Truffle is hit or miss with most people, and these go pretty hard on the truffle, so if you're on the fence about it, these might be a little more pungent than you'd like, although they are crispy and delicious. On to the main even we split the roast chicken and lamb chops. Both came with delectable sauces, the best green beans I may have ever tried (and I am typically a green bean hater), and perfectly fluffy mashed potatoes. The chicken was my favorite of the two, perfectly cooked, nice crispy skin, you couldn't do it much better. The tapas style also really lends to not feeling so grossly stuffed either, portions just feel more in control. We capped off the night with one of their dessert shooters, they have a ton of options but we went for the Nutella option, and splitting the little jar between the two of us was just the little bit of a sweet taste we wanted to end the night on. The rest of the menu had so many good items all across the board, with a ton of people around us especially ordering pizzas, I'm definitely eager to come back and try more.
Parking can be a bit hectic, there is street parking and a parking lot in the rear, but read your signs carefully, as there are a lot of tow away zones and some places where it's metered and some where it isn't.

First visit at this establishment and definitely my last. Had the arancini, which were exceptionally small for the price. Pizza’s crust was more like a cracker instead of a fine thin crust. Again, price ridiculous for this tiny serving that was dry and had very little sauce and cheese. Server brought a tray of different mousse desserts to the table and when asked how much, was told $8 each. My friend and I ordered one each. When we got the bill we were charged $10 each. We asked the server about this and she said she’d check. She was back within 30 seconds and said she couldn’t change it. The manager came over and when we asked him, he said he couldn’t change it. When we pressed him on how it was not right since we asked before ordering, he literally took $4 out of his pocket, threw it on the table and said, “There. That takes care of it.” The rudeness and the patronizing attitude of this manager will keep us far away from this place. Also, not sure how legal it is to have so many people in this tiny place at one time. Couldn’t make our way to the exit as it was wall to wall. One and done.

We’ve visited Barrique many times for both drinks and dinner and have typically had a pleasant experience, which is why tonight’s visit was especially disappointing.
We ordered appetizers and entrées; while the appetizers arrived promptly, our entrées took over an hour to be served. What made it even more frustrating was that several tables seated after us received their meals well before we did.
When we asked about the delay, our server, Alicia, attributed it to “modifications,” which simply involved removing peppers and olives from the octopus dish. That explanation felt unreasonable given the extended wait. Also, blaming us for the major delay? The only gesture offered was a measly dessert, which isn’t helpful for guests who don’t eat dessert an alternative option should have been provided.
To be fair, the food was good once we finally received it. However, the lack of professionalism from both the server and the manager on duty completely overshadowed the meal and the atmosphere. The manager made no attempt to genuinely acknowledge or resolve the situation, which was surprising and disappointing considering we’ve been returning guests on multiple occasions.
The only person who demonstrated genuine care and attentiveness was the food runner — who truly deserves recognition, if not a promotion. Unfortunately, the poor service and dismissive attitude from management significantly impacted our perception of the restaurant.
We’ve experienced better service here in the past, but tonight’s experience was unacceptable — and it has made us reconsider returning in the future.

Went here last Friday for a dinner date since I was working Valentine’s Day. My wife and I had a blast. Food was good, drinks were better and our waitress Gozde was phenomenal. She saw we were Greek from our last name and told us she was Turkish. Cracked a lot of jokes about our countries rivalry. Genuine sweetheart. Good place, would recommend.
