I had high hopes for Barney?s. Their pub style decor with licenses plates and hub caps gave the restaurant a very cool vibe, and their outdoor patio next to the Promenade is perfect for people-watching. Plus there?s the newspaper menu; literally a journal of every type of American classic dish imaginable. Yet food and the service when I was there were incredibly disappointment. My chili was watery and lacked flavor, and my friend?s potato skins were overly oily and too drenched in cheese. What?s the point of generous portion sizes if you don?t want to eat the food? Plus, our waitress forgot twice to bring my guacamole and my friend?s sauce. Next time I?m at the Promenade, I?m eating elsewhere.
Pros: ambience, menu variety
Cons: food, service
