Nobody should accuse Barton G. The Restaurant of resting on its laurels. The 305 hotspot continues to put a new spin on its eye-popping menu. They’ve done it again, with a variety of dishes that you really have to see to believe.
Barton G. on South Beach is at it again — adding new items to their ever-changing menu.
Jeff O’Neill, chef: “We change our menus about once a year. We do about an 80 percent overhaul, so you never know what you’re gonna get. It keeps you coming back for something new.”
And this isn’t your run-of-the mill menu.
Jeff O’Neill: “Barton G. is one of those unique, over-the-top experiences. It’s dinner and entertainment in one — ‘dinnertainment,’ you could say.”
Here, it’s all about taste … and presentation. Which makes sense when you feast your eyes on new menu items like the Don’t Be a Jerk Chicken.
Jeff O’Neill: “It’s sweet, it’s savory, it’s a whole roasted chicken with a presentation that you can’t miss.”
Served in a birdcage, the dish features chicken videos, including one of the nude birds — twerking. Put some clothes on, will ya?!
There’s also the The Lawn Moo-er, which is grass fed beef served on a lawnmower — complete with sound effects.
And the Honey Bee My Surf N Turf, with a beehive and beekeeper’s mask.
Safety first.
Gina Canoniga, customer: “I’ve never, ever seen anything like this in my life at a restaurant. I didn’t know whether I should just sit and look at it like a piece of art, or eat it. But it’s absolutely delicious.”
And those are just some of the entrees!
How about El Cubanito for dessert?
Jeff O’Neill: “It’s a coffee flan with an espresso sauce. It has pastelitos, tobacco-laced chocolate cigars.”
Wash it all down with lovely libations like sangria.
Or peek into the future with the B.G. 2069.
Jeff O’Neill: “It’s a spicy margarita. It’s served with a steampunk mask and a glowing lamp at your table.”
Customer: “The spicy margarita was obviously spicy, but actually had a great flavor mixed into it, and it was really awesome.”
This place is already a South Beach staple, so why bother changing things up so much?
Jeff O’Neill: “We always have to keep things interesting, keep things moving forward as a brand. We try to up our game every season.”
Cheers to that.
