  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Newly remodeled, the much airier Tavern is all about art, music, and above all great food. Open for lunch and soon to include evening dining, the Tavern adds a distinctly Mexican/Pacific Coast set of flavors to the local fine dining scene.

We are located in the heart of the Cedros Design District, within walking distance of the Amtrak station. The style is casual with indoor and outdoor dining ( plus bar seating). The patio, which can accommodate 18 guests, looks out onto the shop-lined Cedros Avenue and can be separated from the main dining area for private events.

*Please note* Our restaurant welcomes walk-ins during our Lunch hours from 11:30 am- 3:30 pm.
*Tavern restaurant will be closed for dinner (Lunch will remain open Monday and Tuesday when the belly up is dark)
*Please check our website for the most up-to-date hours*

    Great and fast service, outstanding food and beverage and the staff is very friendly. Finished just in time to get to my seats for the concert. I'm going back.

    Amazing food for a Tavern/Bar! Personable servers, staff. Noise level in the bar was slightly higher; great on the front, covered patio. It’s small, so book early!

    The special menu item, surf & turf, was delicious! Tender fillet, scallops and shrimp with broccolini and mashed potatoes—all tasted divine. A special thank you goes out to Joy who personally contacted me to accommodate an earlier reservation time.
