Elevated Summer Dining Has Arrived at Barrels & Boards

Summer dining should feel a little different. Longer evenings, great company around the table, handcrafted cocktails in hand, and dishes that make you slow down and savor every bite. This week at Barrels & Boards, our chefs and bar team are bringing bold flavors, elevated ingredients, and a few dishes that may have everyone at your table asking, "Can I try a bite of that?"

From rich Latin-inspired starters to premium steaks and indulgent seafood creations, this week's features are built for summer nights done right.

Start Things Off Right

Every great meal starts with that moment when the appetizers hit the table and everyone immediately reaches in.

Our Arepas bring a perfect balance of comfort and elevated flavor. Three warm, stuffed arepas are packed with tender shredded oxtail and finished with fresh heirloom tomatoes and sweet onion jam. Rich, savory, and layered with flavor, this starter delivers a little taste of something unforgettable.

Looking for something with bold texture and flavor? The Pork Belly Chicharron brings crispy, perfectly cooked pork belly together with smooth sweet plantain purée and Colombian aji sauce. Sweet, crispy, savory, and slightly bright from the sauce — every bite hits differently.

Summer Mains Worth Planning Dinner Around

When the entrées arrive, things get serious.

The showstopper of the week is our Barrel's 52oz Grilled Tomahawk. A massive bone-in ribeye grilled to perfection and served with whipped potatoes, asparagus, and seasoned steak butter. This isn't just dinner — it's a centerpiece. It's the kind of steak that turns heads as it comes through the dining room.

For steak and seafood lovers who refuse to choose between land and sea, the Filet Antioqueño with Garlic Colossal Shrimp delivers both worlds. An 8oz coffee-rubbed filet is topped with a rich red wine demi-glace and paired with three colossal shrimp finished in garlic sauce, alongside fingerling potatoes and broccolini. Deep flavors, rich textures, and a combination built for summer indulgence.

Seafood fans can dive into our Baked Seafood Lobster, loaded with scallops, crab, shrimp, and buttery Ritz stuffing, accompanied by fingerling potatoes and broccolini. Rich, decadent, and packed with flavor from the first bite to the last.

Barrels Prime: The Next Level of Steak

For guests looking to elevate the evening even further, Barrels Prime continues delivering premium cuts that make steak night feel like an occasion.

The 22oz Cowboy Ribeye brings serious flavor with abundant marbling and rich steakhouse character.

Our 9oz Prime Filet Mignon offers fork-tender center-cut beef paired with creamy whipped potatoes, green beans, and gorgonzola butter.

The Prime New York Strip rounds out the lineup with a perfectly balanced cut packed with rich beef flavor and finished with house steak butter.

Because some nights call for steak.

Summer Cocktails & Sips

Summer deserves cocktails that taste like summer.

The Sunset Spritz brings tropical energy to the table with Bacardi, Cognac, guava, passionfruit, lime, and sparkling rosé. Light, bright, and refreshing, it's the kind of drink that makes you want to order another round.

For something a little more adventurous, the Electric Tide combines Don Fulano Blanco Tequila, Licor 43, mango, coconut, lime, and Blue Curaçao into a vibrant cocktail with beach-vacation energy in every sip.

Wine lovers can settle into a glass of Stag's Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering bold California character and depth that pairs beautifully alongside our premium steaks.

And if beer is more your style, summer officially arrives with the return of Leinenkugel Summer Shandy on draft — crisp, refreshing, and made for warm-weather evenings.
