    Don’t miss the tuna toast or steak tartare. Chowder best I’ve ever had! Steak frites on point. Great food. Great drinks. Casual but nice enough for a date night with class.

    The Tavern was the perfect choice for our mid-week birthday celebration. The additions to the fall menu are delicious with particular favorites: the Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Acorn Squash Skins. Service was warm, welcoming and efficient and we appreciated Chef Alex’s table-side visit. We’ll be back!

    Four of us had a very lovely late lunch. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars was the fish & Chips had a bit too much coating on it.The waitress was excellent.

    Overall a great experience. Our waiter Carol sp? Was attentive and made sure everyone's order was perfect. Craft cocktails perfectly blended. The pop-overs were a nice surprise, delicious. Entrees on point. My only suggestion was the ambiance, overall esthetically beautiful, it was a bit loud and too bright, maybe a dimmer?
