It's important for a restaurant to create an environment that is unique and that will support the food, and at Barney, the fare is supported by the clever lighting of the room, which brings out the best of evening shadows and sparkle. There’s something sort of charming, though, about the fact that the place doesn’t take itself so seriously, and not be depicted as broad stereotypes. Whether on a date, hanging with the girls, or eating alone, Caffe Barney offers up a casual and inviting out-for-dinner-feel that you want when you’re paying someone else to cook.
