This place is amazing, my first ever fine dining like experience. Truly heartwarming, and an experience of it?s own. We loved... the pesto pasta so much we asked for recipe and they not only showed us the recipe but also shared their marinara for us totaste and shared some of their secrets. Excited to go home and try it Read more

If I could give 6 Stars I would! I was looking for a new place for a date night since the kids were with Grandma and I came... across Barrel 33 online. I was hesitant at first because I'm a picky eater, but I wanted a place with an adult ambiance near theDowntown Movie Theatre, so we gave it a try & I'm SO glad we did!!! The entire experience was amazing. The Owner, Parfait, goesabove & beyond to make you feel welcome. He truly takes pride in his establishment and makes you feel like you're part of hisfamily. Oh and did I mention the food is PHENOMENAL?! As I mentioned, I'm one of the pickiest eaters ever (I'm that grown upthat orders from Kids Menus) but all 4 items we ordered were delicious. Get 'The Russian' pasta, it's seriously the best pastaI've ever eaten... so good I didn't have time to take a photo of it before eating it ;) Read more
Our daughter in Denver researched local restaurants and found Barrel 33. She gave us a gift of dinner there, and we traveled 45... minutes from Goleta to Ventura for our meal. The delicious food and wonderful patio ambience were well worth our drive. Asvegetarians, we found plenty to choose from on the extensive menu. We'd highly recommend "la vegetarienne" pizza and the "primavera" pasta - both were fabulous; and our Barrel 33 salad was delicious as well. The highlight of the restaurant, however, isthe outgoing and friendly nature of owner/chef, Parfait. Although he has only one other employee and must be extremely busy,Parfait took time to chat with us throughout the evening. Before we left, he knew the names of all four in our party and evenrecorded a video saying, "Merci," to our daughter for getting us to Barrel 33. We loved everything about the evening and lookforward to coming back again soon to share this experience with other family and friends! Read more
Found this charming restaurant a few months after he first opened. Since then we have drive in for every anniversary or... celebration with friends. Parfait never disappoints. He always pairs the wine for us and it?s always been amazing. The FOOD ohmy! It?s seriously so so yummy! He has a cozy set up outdoors to accommodate for covid regulations and for being outdoors it?svery warm with his heaters and cozy! FYI it is a wine bar so no kids are allowed so make sure to set up baby sitting cause it?sworth it! Read more
