Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

One of my favorite restaurants. I usually get the Wagyu Steak when I go. However, the price doubled on this most recent visit, and I was told by the waiter it was $240 for 4 oz. I was told the price increased to be comparable with Halls Chophouse. However, Halls’ Wagyu Steak is $35 per ounce ($140/ 4 oz). So, I didn’t get the Wagyu steak, and due to price, I’m not certain that I’d return there again. I do enjoy the food, ambience, and service at Peninsula Grill, but several menu changes over the years along with increasing prices have made me less excited about going.
