Went to Barracuda a number of times. The meals were always excellent. Each time I had one of the specials and each one was great. Add to that some nice wine and a great meal was served. More

I had prawns on their nightly special list. I think they were trying to get rid of them. They were a little mushy around the edges and I felt sick the next day. More

Average food, average service, average prices. Though with a name like "Barracuda" I'd hoped for some fish on the menu, but it was standard Italian fare. When we were ready to leave we went to the bar to get our tab since service was a little slow. More

Like some other people (see reviews) we expected some fish on the menu because of the restaurant name... Since we were really looking to eat fish we only tried some snacks. It was ok (or good) but too expensive for what it was. Ambiance was nice as far as I remember. More
