This was our first time at Ideal Tavern and we were impressed with the casual atmosphere, the intimacy of the surroundings and farmhouse/industrial decor of the dining area and bar. The service was outstanding, and the food was incredibly delicious. Dessert was remarkable! We will definitely be returning! The prices were on the higher side, but very reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients and the talent of the chef.
