Hardly anyone in the restaurant but had to wait for host to seat us management happen to see we were waiting so long very kind to make sure we were good. Food was alright the crab mac had very little crab on it and the mac itself did not have much taste but looked very good. Would not buy again. $60 after tip for 2 sandwiches and some tasteless mac and cheese.

Slow service and food was just ok.

adding a bit more details based on the restaurants response and request.

We came with a large party of about 20 people and it took over 15 min to get our first drink orders in let alone any appetizers. The restaurant was pretty empty as it was around 6pm . The service was painfully slow to the point We tried to walk up to the bar and order drinks for a table of 20 but we were told to wait for a server which we couldn't locate. We ordered 3 each of the meatballs, brussel sprouts , deviled eggs and calamari. The deviled eggs never came out. After about an 45m and barely 1 round of drinks we couldn't even get water refilled or order our food. We walked constantly around the restaurant to look for a manager or a server . Finally our server took our order and the food came out but during our long wait we had to again find our server in the restaurant and ask for water refills and a few more round of drinks... During our meal same situation.. no checking up on us and we ran out of water and drinks... when we got up we were pretty much the only table with maybe 2 other tables ..

Also the restaurant has turned the lights on off several times probably signaling us to leave or that the kitchen was closing around 9-9:30 when the restaurant doesn't close until midnight. Overall we were out by 10pm. Lost oppty for the restaurant to maximize revenue and provide decent service as most of the 20 folks all work right in Rosslyn and haven't been here before .

Went here twice. Steak is good, and its portion is satisfying. The grilled octopus is just so-so. The waiter was really nice and helpful.

I highly recommend Barley Mac - a very high end restaurant with a large variety of great and popular dishes!

The general manager, Sam was very respectful, warming and polite.

The servers are very knowledgeable on their menu, and are sure to assist if you are unsure what you’re into that day.

The bar itself is one of the best bars I’ve been at in the DMV.

10/10 - will be back again!

Stopped by with a couple of friends for a casual late lunch couple of days ago and the food was amazing. Our server was very good and recommended drinks and appetizers that came out quickly. The mains came along quickly as well and were very good, burgers and sandwich were nice and juicy and the fries are just perfect! Overall great experience with a swanky ambience that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for! Will be back very soon! Highly recommended.

The server was kind but never really checked on us (luckily, we didn't need anything). I'm unsure if they offered free refills on pop or not because I only ever got the first glass. The buffalo mac was delicious! It came in a tiny skillet, but it was plenty of food (deceiving portion upon first glance).

Decided to check this spot out for brunch. Waited for about 15 mins before a waitress approached. She was efficient but not very friendly so will chunk that up to the restaurant being busy. We both ordered the fried chicken sandwich and shared the French toast..food was pretty good. The passion fruit mojito was so good though and only 4 dollars.
I may return if I'm in the area but service could be improved.
