    wow if you haven't been to baroo in a bit you need to return. There's been a clear investment in service, food, ambiance that's taken the restaurant to a whole other level. I had such a great meal here last night and highly recommend it.

    The food at this restaurant was excellent. Every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and carefully prepared. The ingredients tasted high quality, and you could tell a lot of attention went into each plate. I especially liked how balanced the flavors were—rich but not too heavy. The presentation was also beautiful. It was a very enjoyable meal, and I would happily come back again.
