5 star service while I was there! All staff (including our server Gillian) were pleasant and friendly.
I got the steak and lobster and I was very disappointed with the lobster. Basically got a few shreds of lobster on top of the steak - not what I was expecting. The lobster was also extremely dry. Steak was cooked very well.
I only dropped the star because of lobster, and they also didn’t have our table ready for our reservation. Besides that, great time!

We had a fantastic experience at Pickle Barrel. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Gillian truly stood out and made our visit memorable. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations throughout the evening.
At her suggestion, we tried the lava cake for dessert, and it absolutely did not disappoint. It was the perfect way to end our meal.
The atmosphere was vibrant with a great ambience that made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back, and we’re hoping we’re lucky enough to have Gillian as our server again. Highly recommend!
