    We couldn’t get in for dinner (it was booked solid) so popped by for lunch. My wife had the patty melt which was slightly undercooked but delicious, and I had the Mushroom and Swiss burger, which was outstanding. Very tasty, quality ingredients. Glad we still got to dine here, highly recommended.

    We were excited to dine at the White Horse Tavern based on their past reviews. The food and service exceeded our high expectations. Every item was fresh and presented perfectly. The taste and texture of the greens and Caesar salad was excellent. The scallop ad swordfish entrees were top shelf.

    I booked a table for my wife's birthday. The place was very busy, but the staff made us feel very welcome. When we sat at our table there was a happy birthday card signed by all the staff, which was such a great touch to the dinning experience. The staff were amazing and super friendly and they knew that someone at the table had a birthday! When it comes to the cocktails and the food, everything was outstanding and priced at great prices! We would 10/10 visit again and again!
