Thrill seekers no longer need to jump out of a plane, scale Mount Everest or go for a dive among Great Whites to push the boundaries of their imaginations and achieve that adrenaline rush. A simple visit to Barton G. The Restaurant will provide all of the adventure that one can fathom – and then some. Barton G. is the Cirque de Soleil meets Ultra Music Festival meets the Indy 500 of the dining world- with the quality and flavors of a Michelin-Starred restaurant.
It’s no surprise that renowned restaurateur and special event impresario, Barton G. Weiss, creator of the extraordinary Barton G. The Restaurants is the trendsetter in his field. Creator of the liquid nitrogen cocktail and #foodporn, Barton is continuously looking for new ideas that are 100% original. “I live to create shockingly delicious and awe-inspiring dining and event experiences. Every day is a celebration.”
It’s also no accident-as this magic happens scientifically, thanks to an on-site engineer who helps with the development and execution of the outrageous dishes.
Guests are treated to a multi-sensory experience where they interact with fellow diners as collective gasps and Instagram moments are shared each time an over-the-top dish ceremoniously comes out of the kitchen.
To ensure the dishes themselves are as exquisite as the original installations on which they arrive, Barton calls upon the mastery of Oprah favorite/ Starchefs Rising Star Award and Six Star Diamond Award winner, Corporate Chef and Culinary Director Jeff O’Neill, whose culinary pedigree includes working as chef with Eric Ripert at Le Bernardin, Daniel Boulud at Restaurant Daniel and Charlie Palmer at Aureole among other formidable accomplishments. O’Neill and his exceptional team of chefs know there are no limits at Barton G and they can create, design and bring to life anything they and Barton can imagine while ensuring each dish is also over the top delicious and most of all, FUN!
This season, Barton has unveiled his new and most creative menu taking his signature “Dinnertainment” to the next level. Already known for grandeur, the restaurant recently unveiled a number of spectacular new dishes and experiences, that will awe and delight patrons of all ages.
