    A delightful setting, timely service. Max, our server, was very attentive and helpful. Disappointed that they were already out of prime rib at 6:30. Overall a nice experience.

    Seating was cramped but the server was nice, as were our drinks. We started with brussel sprouts (meh) and tuna (I've never had tuna smell fishy, it was awful). We had the (restaurant week) salad, fried chicken, cheesecake. The salad was absolutely awesome, but we had barely started it and they brought out the entree. So by the time we got to the chicken it was cold - it was sort of greasy chicken tenders on top of mashed potatoes and some sad looking peas. It wasn't good, but the cheesecake was great. The wine list was pretty limited. Overall I felt like I had paid ($230) about twice as much as the experience and food were worth.

    The tavern provided a cozy and unique setting for a dinner out, while visiting my daughter at UNH. It was our first time there, but we will definitely return. The Inn is adorable, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding! The proximity to the school was also very convenient. I highly recommend!

    Wonderful atmosphere in this centuries old building. I started with the tomato bisque which was top tier in texture and flavor then had the fried chicken, wife had the steak tips, both were excellent. Wine was decently priced and the lemonchello desert cake was decadent and well sized for two. Highly recommend and one of the better meals on this east coast swing.

    My husband and I went with friends and had an amazing meal. Our waitress was amazing and the food was delicious! The tavern was softly lit and rustic…a perfect evening.

    We love the tavern and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. However, the food was slow to arrive, and one meal was not particularly hot. Portions seemed small given the prices too.

    Hostess was overbearing and intrusive. A server was in the middle of taking our order when the hostess came up to her with another server and told our server that she had the wrong table. I was glad that the server taking our order stood her ground, smiled and apologized to us and carried on. There needs to be some more soft furnishings or ambient music to soften the noise level from other diners which was jarring. Food was average to good. Traditional and tasty, but not amazing.
