Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

Our server was fantastic. She had many tables, but she handled all of us perfectly. Yes, the macaroni was good, but not out of this world as depicted. Perhaps it was because we ordered a side and it wasn’t full of goodies like bacon, etc. We both felt that way. The fried chicken was excellent. The chicken Marsala ok. The Boursin risotto under the chicken was wonderful and better than the chicken.
