Barney's Restaurant, Locust Valley NY

Can't beat the ambiance in the cozy fireplace room. The food is always solid and they added some delicious specialty cocktails. I Highly recommend Barneys to anyone looking for a unique, quiet dining experience.

Went for brunch with family party of 6 including 2 kids. The food was fabulous. The kids actually ate their meals. The service was outstanding. Definitely going back.

Went here for a special birthday dinner. Called prior to going to be sure they could accommodate a wheelchair. We were advised there was a ramp. When we arrived there was no ramp but two of the wait staff graciously lifted the person in the chair up the 3 steps-but when we left we were on our own. When we arrived it was quiet but within 30 minutes it was incredibly noisy -you could not hear the other person at your table. One person in the party ordered a prime rib special.it arrived looking like a charred steak. Never saw prime rib served this way. It was sent back and the owner/manager never even came to the table to apologize. The duck dishes were very bland, no taste of raspberry sauce as they said it would have. The waitress was very nice and tried her best but was overwhelmed.took forever to get drinks and other patrons were frustrated with the service as well. Instead of the owner helping out his staff, he was too busy socializing with the regular patrons he knew. The food quality was fair and service lacking. Both food and service should be much better when paying these prices. There are a lot of great restaurants to choose from and unfortunately Barneys is NO longer one of them.

Love coming to Barney’s. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the chef is always able to accommodate me. The meat is always cooked perfectly. Sitting by the fireplace is super cozy but the entire layout feels like dining at home with the best chefs and staff taking care of you.

Fabulous evening with our friends at Barney’s last night. Drinks at the bar…delicious shrimp fettuccini, excellent service, wonderful dessert. This place will be in our regular rotation!

This is the type of no nonsense food we all crave. Expect the next from good ole Barney Rubble.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food was amazing. Drinks were delicious, try the 'Bee's Knees'. Will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Went here for the first time for a friend's 50th birthday dinner event held in the catering space in the side building. The service, atmosphere, and food were amazing. Would definitely go again. The only downside is that there's no restroom in the side building where they hold events, so you have to go outside and walk around to the main restaurant to use the bathroom during an event. It was ok that night because it was decent weather. Wouldn't want to do that in the winter or rain, though. Otherwise everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed it thoroughly.

Something seems to have changed here.food quality and hospitality is off. Live in the area and gave it x3 separate visits to make sure it wasn't a one off experience. Such a bummer for a small neighborhood place.really would have love a go to local restaurant.

One of the nicest dining experiences on Long Island. The ownership and staff make you feel like you're at home. The food is consistently delicious. A real Gem!

Terrible customer service/wait staff/management

we attended Barney’s for a family brunch today.the waiter was incomprehensible, rude and disorganized.our table of 8 waited 1-1/2 hour for food to be brought. In the interim we had to chase the staff for drinks, which is terribly annoying.the other patrons were visibly annoyed as well.the bathrooms were not serviced and had no towels for drying hands. Restaurant owners: stop blaming inadequate service on Covid.enough already! If you cannot procure adequate and competent staff to service patrons, then limit your sittings to an amount that you can reasonably and satisfactorily manage. Don’t ruin patrons’ dining experience, especially when you’re charging premium rates.when we brought these issues to the manager’s attention, he was unapologetic.

Besides being an excellent restaurant it is a impressive venue social events. Mike an Christine the owners went out or there way to make my son and new daughter's wedding truly memorable. The food incredible the Waite staff second to none all in all a night to remember

Small and cozy establishment with amazing food. The ambiance is nice, when you walk in there's a cozy bar and they have a beautiful fire place in the dining room. Everyone is happy to be there, and the energy in the room spreads a light buzz. I had the most delish tuna tartare appetizer. Beautiful presentation, the tuna was fresh and the coleslaw was crunchy, with a crisp toastada, it was perfection! Also we had the crab cake appetizer, served on field greens with a fresh and tangy dressing, perfectly paired with the crab cake and lemon caper emulsion. For our final appetizer we had the ricotta gnocchi, while it was tasty just a few bites was good for me. It was very dense and the sauce was creamy with a very rich flavor, earthy hints of mushrooms and greens, and I could imagine too much would have left me feeling heavy. Nonetheless still good. On too my entree! Pan seared diver scallops and shrimp! Scallops are one of my favorite entrees and I am so happy to say that were PERFECTLY cooked and bathed in the most mouth pleasing lemon dill sauce that danced and swirled through a bed of jullianed zucchini, again perfectly cooked. They were soft yet still had the crisp bite to give the tiniest bit if crunch underneath a bite of scallop. This lemon dill sauce had such an amazing consistency, so full of flavor! The taste of creamy, buttery, dill hinted lemon washes over your tongue and matches well with all the items on your plate. There were maybe a small handful of polenta croutons, a little too hard for my liking, but they are croutons so they should be! My dinner date ordered the skirt steak and graciously fed me a bite. The skirt steak was cooked just as ordered medium rare and had nice flavor. I really enjoyed the spinach he had on the side, and I helped my self to several bites and used it to mop up the rest of my lemon dill sauce from my own entree! Finally for dessert we had a key lime pie which was light and full of lime flavor, drizzled with a blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries on the side. It was perfectly tart and sweet. We also indulged in a slice of cheesecake which was so fluffy and rich and creamy and everything you want a slice of cheesecake to be! I was absolutely tickled with our restaurant choice and will be returning in the weeks to come! (I had my eye on the lamb!) I would highly recommend this restaurant, it is worth every penny!

Owner can't plan and doesn't do well with large parties. Doesn't plan staffing well, doesn't accommodate seating for large people, blames food quality on the customer, an hour and a half before orders were even taken, defends himself by saying the restaurant has been around for over 125 years and lack of staff. Party was still paid in full with no discount and owner's attempt on an apology was a 8" cake that no one ate nor wanted. Just wanted to leave. Such an embarrassment and waste of time and money.

This is a wonderful restaurant with exceptional food and even better service. The lack of parking is compensated by fast and efficient Valet service.

As good as it is as a restaurant, it is even better as a an event venue. Mike and his wife take a personal interest in ensuring their guests have the very best event. Their attention to detail and warm caring attitude alleviates a lot of the tension associated with planning an event. They hosted my son's wedding and everyone who attended marveled at the charm of the restaurant and the marvelous service.

Food was terrible. My fish was overcooked and my wife's duck was tasteless. Very expensive awful dinner. Stay away
