    What a great experience with my daughter. From beginning to end, it was fantastic. Yo did a great job as our waiter, but ETAN and INDIGO were the stars. They supported the waiter's efforts so well. They were brilliant. It was another excellent meal at Friar Tuck's.

    What a great experience this was. The service was superb, but the food was magnificent. It is a great menu with a vast array of items as well as nightly specials. We had such a great time and will return again soon.

    Friar tucks used to be our favorite place. Although service was excellent, and food was tasty, the menu has changed too much, to where we aren't happy with options. They got rid of or favorite appetizer, Salmon carpacio, and dinner, tempura prawns. They do have good steaks on the menu, but no seafood pasta, or any pasta. The menu is very limited in our opinion. We loved ordering and eating in the bar for the music previously, best around. Now we struggle finding anyone we like. Cello joe plays there a lot, he was playing when we were eating in the dining room on a Friday night. He needs to go. I was so distracted by his horrible sound, I couldn't enjoy dinner. Just awful. Sorry to say, we aren't regulars anymore. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    It was a birthday celebration and this was the perfect spot. The food is very upscale and it is a great ambiance. Even the owner visited our table to make sure we were 100% satisfied. What a great experience. We will return soon.

    It was my anniversary. They treated us so great! The special was Lazagna. Very good! I am not sure what was going on in the bar music wise, but it sounded like bad keroke. We got quite a giggle about it. Was glad when they went on a break. The pumpkin martini was really good!

    Had the salmon, excellent, and the others had the veggie lasagne,very good. The live music in the bar area gave a good vibe and wasn’t too loud. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Great drinks too!
