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.

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!

Had a wonderful time at Barrique for my Birthday Dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was so tranquil and intimate. Food was amazing and shareable. My favorite was the Bianca pizza. Great ambiance outdoors for picture. Looking forward to returning.

Very cool wine and cocktail bar in Babylon. Chill and elegant vibes inside the restaurant and a beautiful lit alleyway filled with outdoor seating. Excellent menu with so many options from apps, pizza, and small plate entrees. A very long list of excellent wine options for whatever taste you may like. The food comes out when prepared and not all at once so your meal is always fresh. Our dinner was the tuna small plate, and the pan seared salmon, both very good! The mini desserts are also all delicious! The restaurant is not that big and fills up quickly, I would try to get a reservation or come in early for dinner. I definitely recommend Barrique Kitchen and Wine Bar!

Let's start with the service. Service is definitely on the slower end, in which it took approximately half an hour between the first and second dish to come out (we sat at 6:20pm, first dish came out at 7, second came out at 7:32, and third came out at 7:36). Our server, Michael, was incredibly friendly but definitely overworked, where he was running around inside and out; I truly believe that if they had a bit more servers, the experience would definitely be more pleasant and perhaps speedier (for example, it took us 5 minutes to get napkins and another 15 for the sriracha aioli we asked for, which led to our fries being cold by the time we got the sauce :/)
The aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant is definitely very warm and welcoming, with a mixture of wooded furnitures and design. Very pretty and comfortable, without feeling overly high end.
The pricing of their food is also incredibly reasonable, with barely any dish costing more than 25 bucks. The crab cake was delicious and relatively big in portion size, so highly recommended! The steak was very tender but the flavor was on the blander side; it also came out with only a few small strands of onions unfortunately, which would have added more flavor if it came with more. I definitely do not recommend the steak, for I'm sure other options may be more delicious and plentiful. The special fish with risotto was so extremely salty, in which the tomato broth risotto couldn't even mellow out the saltiness of the fish. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend staying away from the fish...
Lastly, they also added a dish on our receipt which we never ordered, so please remember to check your receipt!
Overall, it was unfortunately a very disappointing experience, especially given its amazing potential. 2 out of 3 of what we ordered was either not good or nothing special. The prices are great with a wide variety, but I'm just hoping the food could be improved upon. Thank you Michael, for doing your best and being so friendly.
Thank you for reading and good luck! (:
