Three of our four dinners were prepared incorrectly. Items put on that were asked to be removed and meat temperatures way over done. Drinks took 20 minutes. Server was nice but did we had to ask for every little thing and then wait for it.

The food was not good. Overcooked burger, chewy chicken wings and a so so salad. The tvs were good. Probably wouldn’t go there again.

If I was to just talk about the food, this would be a four or five star review. Everything food wise was amazing. I recommend the steak frites— But the other parts of the experience make it where I have to only give it three stars. It was hard to find, and when we arrived, it was not labeled as the tavern and the hostess didn’t know that was the name. As far as signage, the restaurant is called drink and dine. She had to ask the bartender if we were in the right place. One seated, the service was also lackluster, she brought no condiments to the table even though one of us ordered a burger and when asked for A1, she disappeared for a long while and returned to say they were out. Again, not offering any other condiments as options or substitutes. And once the bill arrived, it was obvious the pricing was hotel prices, even though the restaurant is not listed as being in or part of the hotel nearby. Again, it’s a good thing the food was good.

We celebrated a birthday dinner here on a Saturday night. We were very disappointed in our experience. The server was not knowledgeable about the menu, and they were out of 2 of the 7 entree items ( salmon and duck). We arrived dressed in business casual per their website only to find that this is simply the hotel bar restaurant with guests dressed in tshirts and shorts. Our server was not attentive and the bar took a long time to fill our drink orders. While the food was good, it was not worth the price and the wine menu was terrible. It might be fine for a quick bite if you’re staying at the hotel, but as a local, I will not be back.

Unfortunately I won’t be going back. Food and drinks were fine, but the overall service and attitude of wait staff made us feel uncomfortable and we were ready to get out of there. For a $100+, we were pretty disappointed in how we were treated.

We had a great time with the large group and the service hit the target smoothly and completely. A wide array of food for many different dietary needs were fully delivered and at the same time. Kudos for a job well done. Flavors were good. Styles of cuisine are both local and varied with local flare.
