   Christmas Day Pri Fixe was $44.00, reservations were for a party of 2 at noon. the room we were in had one other rather large party so, manageable, right ? well, the service was disorganized, soup came, had r to ask for soup spoons. we were told to use teaspoons because they don't have soup spoons. were rushed between courses with another server asking "are you still working or can I take that ?". those plates were still in front of us. then coffee with no cream, and we had already used our spoons for soup! there was no reason for us to be rushed. my mashed potatoes were barely tepid, my sirloin was very tough, the other member of our party chose not to complain. I have not been to the Armory fo ra few years and remember some great dining experiences. I don't now what has changed but I don't anticipate going back any time soon if at all.

   We weren't seated where requested after confirming reservation prior. Lots of reservations so felt rushed. No substitutes for fixed menu. No mash potatoes with a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving! Gratuity included with check yet other options listed to add more. Had to look closely. Food was fair at best and not hot when served. We will not go back.

   Super cute place, but the service isn’t very friendly, food isn’t anything special.

   Never been before thought we’d give it a try. Don’t think the reservation was really necessary but the dining area was very clean and welcoming. The server, Lisa, was a super sweet and attentive. Helped make recommendations and substitutions as requested. The food was great. Spinach salad was a nice taste of summer with berries and goat cheese. I had the steak which was cooked as requested. The veggies were were also tender crisp and not covered in oil or butter. Definitely recommend this spot. Lisa was a true delight as a server and we had a great time with her.

   This was our second time at The Tavern for dinner and it did not disappoint. We ordered a burger with sweet (yum) potato fries and a Caesar salad with perfectly cooked salmon. I love the historic feel of the restaurant and like that it’s at the less busy end of Main Street. And, our server Darcy was great! We shall return!

   We arrived early for our reservation and were greeted warmly and offered a seat at the bar while waiting. I enjoyed a blackberry spritz that was delicious. My husband had an old fashioned that was one of the best he has ever had. The bartender, Lisa, took care of everything and was a wonderful host. I had the braised short ribs that were very tasty and my husband had the pasta dish and said it was good.

   Very nice place but there’s really not much to choose as far as food menu wasn’t really anything other than burgers and fries for my kids and they didn’t even eat it the people were friendly and polite in my opinion this place isn’t for anyone with kids

   We were first-time diners at the Tavern and it was a great first impression of the restaurant. Our two entrees were excellent (NY Strip and short ribs) and we're looking forward to trying other menu items. Our server, Darcy, was the best! What a beautiful hotel lobby!

    Weirdly bright but sad looking. Almost no one there. I hadn’t been there since way before Covid, and since then they’ve removed the wall between the bar and the dining room with the fireplace, which used to be very cozy, but is now kind of like a small convention room in a chain hotel. The lights are way too bright. The short ribs were pretty good, but my mashed potatoes were cold, not even lukewarm. The waitress was overly friendly and somewhat intrusive.
