Do they have anything to do with the Bari's in Denton?

I keep coming back for their Chicken Cappuccino dish. Yes--you read that right-–Cappuccino. And no, I have no idea why it’s named after a Starbucks drink. The dish is a giant grilled chicken breast served in a creamy pink sauce with mushrooms and pepperoncini peppers. It has a mild spiciness to it and a faraway dark sweetness. At $9.95, it’s served with spaghetti in the same sauce. The dinner salad is mostly iceberg lettuce and a la carte at $1.75. Comfort food, I guess.

I’ve never sat in the bar, but it looks well situated far enough away from the hordes of families scarfing on pizza, which is good pizza, but not Flower Mound’s best. Also, for those with discriminating tastes in diet soda, rejoice! They serve Diet Pepsi.

Bari’s has super-high ceilings and a dark-–almost fancy-– atmosphere. But not too fancy. It’s a great place to bring kids. First of all, their booths are so high that if your toddler stands up and turns around to visit with the folks in the next booth, he comes face to face with more booth. Second, it seems heavily staffed with teens or early twenty-somethings.

Actually, good service seems to be correlated with the age of your server. The younger the server looks, the less s/he seems to care about when you get your meal or check. But it’s never been bad enough to complain--or even overtly reduce the tip--just enough to notice and mildly annoy.
