   Poor service can really make or break an experience and sadly, this is the second time we’ve had the misfortune of having this particular server. I thought the first time was a one-off. Interestingly, his demeanor seems to vary based on how much melanin is at the table.

   Great food, extremely attentive waiter. Very noisy, though!

   My wife and I prefer pubs and usually shy away from "chain" type of restaurants. But our daughters are both big Tavern In the Square fans and they've gradually also convinced us as well. This particular location is our favorite despite there being one or two that are closer. This one is a solid 35-45 minute drive for us but it is well worth it. Visited a couple of times (plus once just for drinks at the bar). The staff are all so nice and the service we receive (we always request same server) is literally second to none. Food is very good and the portions are quite large - certainly enough to have a second meal at home. They really have an excellent bar selection too. I usually order bourbon and they have a lot of choices. We will continue to keep this place in our rotation.

   Michelle was inattentive and slow. It took 45 minutes to get 2 cheeseburgers, thank goodness we got an appetizer. Many tables were vacated after the Patriots game and not cleared for up to 35 minutes. We frequent Tavern at least 2x per month due to my partner having severe Celiac. That said, it is quickly dropping off our 'go to' list - we frequent both Dedham and Littleton restaurants. Worst experience yet, and we have attended Tavern for 3+ years.

   I made a reservation for my birthday and it wasn’t acknowledged at all. Also their parking lot was like an ice skating rink. Thick ice covering the entire lot.

   Great brunch! We’ll be back for brunch again! Highly recommends the eggs Benedict and bubbles and berries cocktail!

   Our server was so kind and kept telling us to take our time. She checked in often and was cordial every time. Wonderful experience!

    Our first time there. Service was great! Food was good. two comments : I had the Pot Pie. Flavor was delicious. My suggestion however is to cut the chicken into smaller pieces to make them easier to chew. The quantity and mixture of fresh vegetables was superb and crust was perfect All the appetizers : fried pickels sautees broccoli and guacomole and chips were good. second comment is all of the desserts were or contained chocolate. There were "No" non-chocolate choices. Maybe they could add one to the menu or at least vanilla ice cream as a choice. However, I iwould recomment the restaurant
