Once again, a delicious meal at Neir's Tavern. This time we went for brunch. Besides the great live jazz duo, the food was delicious. I ordered the Madame Croquette, an item limited to the brunch menu. It was delicious. My husband ordered the breakfast burger, also delicious. He topped it off with an order of hot, fresh pretzels, soft enough to break and dunk into his honey mustard dip. Each brunch comes with a free drink, another great feature of brunch. We ordered the mimosa and aperol spritz. Definitely a must visit place. Dine once, and you will be back!

This is one of my go to spots. The food, drinks, and service is always on point. The dining room is much quieter than the bar area. Parking can be a pain but it’s a great place to eat.
