Our server was so so lovely. The food was absolutely unreal. I had the scallops and my girlfriend had the pumpkin gnocchi and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The staff was very accommodating, and they even surprised us with a dessert for our anniversary. I would highly recommend goldfinch Tavern to anyone wanting to have a great dining experience.

Brussels sprouts had outstanding flavor. Little Gem Salad was prepared excellently. Wild Mushroom Risotto was creamy and tasty. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The six baby profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream were luscious. Thank you, as always, for a sublime experience.
