I ate at Barrel and Bushel at Tyson’s Corner twice recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both times I had the carrot ginger soup, which was light and delicious. I also had the steak bites during happy hour and a turkey/avocado/ bacon sandwich during a lunchtime visit. Both were delicious. The service each time was excellent and very friendly. I had not been to this restaurant for a number of years, but it was so good now that I am anxious to return. Eating outdoors on a warm fall day was a delight, too.

Excellent customer service. Our server was fantastic. We sat outside on the patio closest to the TV near the center of a courtyard on the end seating where you could walk up to go Parking. I hope you share this with our server. He was fantastic. The food and drinks were great also.
