    It's a nice cozy friendly place. The food is okay, but nothing spectacular. Nice place for casual lunch or drink. Our server was very pleasant, but she's seemed very busy and service was a tad slow. No

    Small plate brunch was outstanding! The bottomless mango mimosas were terrific. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday with friends.

    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Extra dipping sauce was a bonus! The server was excellent and they checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed.

    The lounge was very noisy and cold below vents beneath which we were seated. Staff kindly reduced the blast. Service was attentive, but mains came well before starter was finished. Octopus entrée (starter) was excellent, as were branzino and shrimp scampi mains, but skirt steak was near-inedibly tough, for which, in the end, manager graciously removed the charge.

    Pretty pricey for just eggs, sausage, and fruit. Hightop seating was nice and server was great. Breakfast pizza was just okay. Salmon Benedict looked amazing.

    I haven’t been to Liberty Tavern in a year or so. As always, it was consistent in ambiance, service, food, and price. I definitely recommend and will return.

    I came for the roasted Brussels sprouts and ordered the Liberty Tavern burger for balance. The Brussels sprouts did not disappoint. The burger was not done as much as I would have liked, but tasted great. Service was great.
