What Service Marketing doesn't like about Barbounia:
Restaurant is super cramped. Can’t even walk between tables. Waitress was super apathetic as were the hostesses. The bus boys were great and saved the experience. Also don’t appreciate the BS ‘ the chef wants you to put in the whole order at once nonsense’. A scam to rush you out of there and to over order. Been here many times before but this will probably be our last. Don’t like greedy and unappreciative restaurant... View all feedback. What Susan likes about Barbounia:
We had a lovely evening at Barbounia. Fortunately we had reserved for an outside table because when I went inside the noise level was unbearable. The service was a little bit sketchy. We had to ask for a few things. However, having said that, all waitstaff was extremely pleasant The food was excellent, especially the artichokes and the calamari. Also loved the flatbread.

Good food and nice cocktails. We sat at the bar since the indoor tables were too close to each other and it was too hot to sit outdoors

I love the place but I have stoped going because the noise level is extreme. You have the yell in order to hear your friends and makes dinner really unpleasant
