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.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. We arrived very early, and were greeted kindly and seated right away. Our waiter was excellent. The food was perfectly done, and was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat! Special mention to the crab soup, the filet mignon and the crème brûlée, but everything was great.

Our server was wonderful! He knew all about the decor and had great facts! They were also very accommodating. The smaller room got really cold, since people were leaving, so I asked if we can move to the big room, which had more people and was warmer. They looked into it and was able to grant the request. I was sad that the raviolis were sold out. We both had the lamb burgers. They were amazing! Would recommend!

We had a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve at The Boathouse. Valet was friendly and efficient. The hostess was kind, and our table was ready when we arrived for our reservation. The food was excellent (as always) and well paced. Even on such a busy evening we never felt rushed and service was wonderful. Thank you so much!!
