    The best place in town for a top-shelf steak. Always reliable and great service. Go early as the bar area tends to get a bit noisy later on.

    I know people enjoy this place...but we had a poor experience. Ribeye was a NY strip, over cooked, no marble. Just horrible . It took 22 minutes to get a cappuccino on the table. Just an overall poor experience. I do not recommend this place as there are plenty of steak houses with better food and service.

    We’ve dined here often, but it is the first time we have been sat at a table in the bar area. It was much too loud for our celebratory dinner compared to the other dining rooms.

    I ordered the 8oz filet. It had a very weird taste to it. To the point that I couldn’t eat it. I brought almost the entire thing home hoping I could add something to cover up the bad taste.

    Extremely good service and food. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on every question we had, whether it be a food menu item or drink. Will continue coming here, it is well worth the money.

    We were lucky to have Jo(Elle) as our server. Her attention to detail is top tier. She made our dining experience wonderful. Hopefully you are lucky enough to get her when you visit.

    The food and service were excellent. We were seated near the fireplace in the room next to the bar. The room was a bit "loud," but not annoyingly so.

    Seated quickly and where we requested. Cocktails and food were excellent! Scallop app was SO flavorful. They were extremely busy but bar staff was moving really fast. Our server was just a little “cooler” than we are used to in the tavern. But service was good overall and I’ll chalk it up to maybe she had something personal going on. Other bar staff were all warm and friendly, even amidst the organized chaos of the incredibly busy night. We love the Tavern and I’m sure it will continue to to be our favorite dinner spot!
