The 56 Team does a great job, and this place did not disappoint! Interior was warm and "taverny". Food was very good, with some nice additions to the 56 Kitchen offerings. We'll be back!!

The remodeled dining room is so cozy. I love it. The food was excellent and our waiter was so courteous. Franz pays special attention to the small details. I love the makeover and the bar is one of my favorites. They don’t have my favorite beer selection but I still love it.

Overall great place Sat at a high top in bar by fireplace. Service was phenomenal, always keeping our drinks refreshed. Wife had the short ribs and was so tender and flavorful. I had the prime rib and it could have been a little more tender than it was but the flavor was great. The French kiss salad is enough to split and one of the freshest salads I have had in a long time. Highly recommend !

Prime rib was very good. Salmon was very good. The clam chowder was very good. We didn't like the crab cakes, the inside was very soft. The French onion soup was a bowl of onions very little broth. cheese was not thoroughly melted. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.

My girlfriends, son, and I dined at 56 Tavern last night. As always, the 56 kitchen group did not disappoint! The atmosphere is breathtaking with fabulous new decor and remodeling in the restaurant area. Our waitress, Lexi, was adorable, attentive, and so sweet! The manager, Brad, and hotel owner, Franz, checked on us regularly! The food was delicious! We all could have eaten ten plates of the cauliflower bites! Overall, we all had a spectacular experience at 56 Tavern, and will be dining there again in the near future❤️❤️❤️

It was New Years Eve and they only had 2 serves. Took 40 minutes to get a drink. Food was delivered fast and was very tasty. Will get it another try on a less-busy night.

Thank you for trying us- yes, unfortunately we had a server and bartender who both fell ill that night. We welcome you back as we will have our new version fully in place the first week of February!
