My wife and I drove 55 minutes to this restaurant. We heard about it in a Gluten free group. She had the Gluten free Oyster platter, I had the Oyster PoBoy. They bother were amazing. I know it was a seasonal menu, but I was impressed with the PoBoy. Most places put a powerful sauce that overpowered the taste of the main ingredient. This was poetic, and the artists have me begging for more. Bravo!!

Smallish menu, but varied and even has gluten free options. They have a decent selection of beers and a larger selection of wine. The patio is closed during the inclement weather months (sadly this is Ohio), but if you go when it's open, there's a lovely view of the river and an occasional train passing through.

Barrio's food is delicious, and they have a lot of customizable options for people who are gluten free, pescatarian, or vegetarian. Service can be hit-or-miss; some servers are great, others can be a challenge and/or don't seem to much care about customers. Most of the time my order is made correctly, but my most recent visit my meal was made wrong. I know the ticket contained the correct info because my friend looked at it before the server took it and remarked upon the particular ingredient that I'd selected, but was never actually included in my dish. Instead I was given a dish containing an entirely different, and quite unpalatable, ingredient. Vibes are decent overall, decor is cool, and the bar makes good drinks. Can get REALLY loud though when full, and it seems like the just jack up the music when it's packed, making it sometimes overwhelming sound-wise.
