    Our New Year's Day lunch was wonderful. We were seated in the sunny front of the tavern and had the most exceptionally pleasant server. My friend's quiche and salad was described as very good and my fish and chips confirmed my choice was on-point. The french fries are the best. Only downside was, when first seated the restaurant wasn't nearly full and the noise level was very high. By the time we left, most tables were filled, so the noise was understandable at that stage. Still, this could be my new favorite eatery in Chatham.

    Our dinner on NYE was amazing! It was a prix fixe menu. It was so much food for the money and really delicious!!!! I had to bring my entree home I was already stuffed after the first two courses. But everything was so good. We got a wonderful bottle of wine. Our server was great. So sweet, kind, chatty even though it was busy and NYE. She made us feel really special. The tables were adequately spaced apart. So nice when so many restaurants these days have you mooshed in together. Over all so great and can’t wait to go back.

    Such a nice lunch during small business Saturday shopping. Happy to support our local businesses. My salmon salad was outstanding as usual. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich which was a bit bland and the bread seemed a bit dry. Otherwise we enjoyed our lunch and Ian, our server was great!
    Wild Goose TavernResponded on 21 December 2024
    Hi Debbi, thank you so much for your great review! I apologize that the chicken salad sandwich wasn't the best, I'll make sure to pass the message on to our culinary team, but I'm so glad you enjoyed our Salmon Salad. Once again, we appreciate the great review and happy holidays!
