   An infestation of gnats was observed and discussed with the server. The server informed the owners that were seated nearby. The owners couldn’t be bothered to approach us themselves. We relocated to another area of the restaurant, and it was no better. The gnats were provided at no charge.

   We went to Tavern on The Glen last summer and it was wonderful-- attentive but not overbearing servers and the food was very delicious! This past week we visited again and ordered the same meal we got last summer-- eggplant stacks and calamari and was not nearly as good as last summer. Calamari was chewy and the eggplant was bland. Menu was limited, also. Drinks ( gin and tonic) was watered down, and they were out of several IPAs. Not many diners were there. And now we know why. We won't return.

   The food was ok. Never like it when the Caesar salad has multiple lettuce stems in it. The chicken giardiniere and chicken Milanese were both huge portions that could serve 2-3 people each. The chicken was too dry and the pasta had a funny taste. Probably should have just had sandwiches.

   We enjoyed our dinner at Tavern on the Glen. The food is solidly and consistently good. Lovely server. A great restaurant in the heart of The Glen. We will be back again!

   We started with the Cosmo Kramer! Was delish and colorful. The eggplant stack was good and a great deal for $10 at happy hour. For dinner we each had the prime New York strip. Delicious and cooked / seasoned perfectly. At $42, this was very close to a Perry’s, Morton’s or Gibson’s NY. A great value and nearly half the price of those other guys! They surprised us with a beautiful sparkler accompanied by a bday cheesecake. It was the perfect finish and sincerely appreciated . Live music came in as we were walking out. Definitely try this new restaurant out. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. It was a wonderful experience!

   Finally managed to get here for a full on meal, and, while there are still a few bugs in the system, was generally very pleased. There have been a number of concepts in this space — as with many dining spaces in the Glen — through the years. I won’t get into the prediction business…and will offer that this family-owned one deserves a try. The bright lights modestly detract from an otherwise hip ambience. Terrific bar and the obligatory menu of craft cocktails. Nice list of wines by the glass — didn’t have a hard look at the list of bottles. The menu isn’t huge but is plenty diverse. While food service was a little slow (bread slow to come, entrees a little longer than we’d have expected ) our meals - the pork chop for one of us, the Thai salad for another, and the swordfish for me — were delicious and beautifully presented. Hoping that this place gains some well-deserved traction in this area where so many independent restaurants — and some chains — haven’t. Definitely worth a try.
