Barnaby's has 9 locations. I've been to 3 and all were excellent. No difference in the salsalitta salad I get Everytime. I have never been to the downtown location. Perhaps you could ask. They have always been very accommodating.
I've been to a few other Barnaby's locations and tlhe downtown location as well, food is consistent with flavors, portion and price are the same. As far as different ownership, i haven't researched it. How long ago was your last visit?
I think they all have the same food owns on every menu.. I'm a big fan of the spinach and artichoke dip and have not fo7nd another like it anywhere.. Thw downtown location is the only one I have not been to so I can't say for sure but all the others have all been the same receipe
