    We both enjoyed our meals at Lberty Tavern, as we have in the past. The service, with Mason as the server, was excellent. Prices were very reasonable, particularly considering the quality of the servings. The Fruiti Du Mari was excellent. It may be on the menu only seasonally. We will be back again. Chris

    First time at this restaurant-located in a small and crowded strip mall (parking was a bit of a challenge), we weren’t sure what to expect. The restaurant is also relatively small with two sections, one a few steps down from the other. About 60 percent of tables were filled. The interior could use a refresh, but the wine (excellent) and meals were very good. My husband and I shared a Caesar salad - very fresh and well dressed - and two had the filet and frites, the other two the salmon almond (also excellent) and the scallops. Everyone enjoyed their meal and started that they would come back. It’s a bit of a neighborhood gem.
