"You will remember this evening forever! The Villa makes everything about your visit comfortable and easy. Move from bar to table and back to bar with one bill to settle. Courteous and knowledgeable staff make great recommendations. Fantastic wine list with the best 'by the glass' selection found anywhere - want a vintage glass of Perrier-Jouet Rose champagne - no problem! The menu and preparation rival the finest restaurants in NYC. DO NOT MISS!"

"Barton G is a true experience - and you will pay for the experience. The Versace masion is amazing and the service was exceptional. We were happy to find that that the atmosphere was friendly and not at all stuffy. Would I recommend it? Would I go back? In a heart beat!"

"I ordered their pre-fixe option and the dishes didn't have as much variety as I would have liked. All of them contained mushrooms. The service was great, but the food could have been better. The food was overpriced for its taste. The room was also small and it was too loud inside; didn't feel too private."

"It's a stunning location - Gianni Versace's mansion - and the food is good, but being from NYC and seeing not a single entree under $45, I expect the food to be out-of-this-world amazing. And it was certainly good. But not Joel Robuchon/Daniel/Le Bernardin good, which is what you expect for that pricing level. However, the mansion is beautiful and dining on the terrace overlooking the swimming pool is certainly a treat. Just wish the food was either THAT spectacular or priced accordingly. As a side note, the sommelier was very nice and the wine list was great."

"The food is very good, the location is marvelous ... sorry that the services are pathetic! All starts with the Valet Parking ... when you step out of the car on arrival he ask for 25 dollars (in advance) for parking. Than with the waiter ... was a lady that told us that the Tasting Menu is only a privilege and is not offered for every table - first class clients vs. second class clients ... !!! Not very nice feeling for you as a client! After this moment was coming the head waiter and excuse about the situation ... to late unfortunately! The Executive Chef called Bogdan was very attentive and make our wedding anniversary very nice with a "surprise desert" ... yummy!
Only because of location and food quality I will not recommend to go ther"
