    Our first time and we enjoyed it. We had reservations in piano bar room and split a Scotch egg and delicious salad with perfectly cooked salmon. We’d go again.

    Love the tavern. My only recommendation is better timing. We weren’t even finished our salads before the mains came. We also had a very small two person table to fit all these dishes. If they could time that better it would be a perfect experience.

    The staff felt rushed. Nothing against him, I think they were understaffed for happy hour. Nobody even mentioned happy hour until we asked after we received our drinks. I want to give the place another chance especially because of its history, but wasn’t impressed on the first visit for my wife’s birthday. I even wrote it in my note, and included that we would like the bar. The bar part was granted, but no nod or anything to the occasion.

    The food and drinks were good, but a little pricey. Short rib sliders were the best part. Dessert was disappointing. The bill was what you would expect to pay at a nice steakhouse .
