Went to The Barn for breakfast with my husband... It was a pleasant experience... We enjoyed the food. Didn't wait too long eventhough they were busy. The staff was friendly. It isn't too big of a space so if you are a big group or do not want to wait, make a reservation ahead of time. It worked for me and we were seated as soon as we got there...
