   Unfortunately, making a reservation seemed to be pointless. We waited for 40 min after our on time arrival in the bar area, and finally the bartender saved the day by offering to merge some of her high tops and let us sit there. The hostess was young and though she didn’t seek us out, when asked more than once about our table she just indicated that they had to wait for one to open. Perhaps inexperienced. But what was more disappointing is no manager ever made an effort to acknowledge us- especially when you could tell it was getting stressful waiting at the bar for so long with two very hungry little kids in our party. The bartender was great, so hospitable and truly saved the experience. The food was just ok, we’ve been there and had better. Maybe just an off kitchen day, but tasty dishes weren’t executed exact (cooking temps off on multiple items). Not enough of an issue to send food back, but definitely will think twice before making a reservation to celebrate somewhere in the future.

   The food was excellent. You can’t go wrong at the Tavern. We were celebrating a 70th birthday. Our waitress (I think her name was Paige?) was fantastic. She was very attentive without being pushy. We had a great experience - highly recommend!

   The 4 of us had lunch of at the Tavern twice before. We have ordered a wide variety of foods, fish, onion soup, and a Mexican bowl. The filet mignon I had this outstanding, perfectly charred outside snd juicy inside. The cognac peppercorn sauce complemented the meat. nicely.. The noise level was low enough for we 4 longtime giflfriend yo catchup without difficulty hearing

   This locale has amazing sunset views on a clear day. The food was tasty, though seemed a bit overpriced for the amount and quality. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was busy and somewhat loud with all the people and tile floors. The biggest issue the night we were there though was a prom on the floor above which was causing the ceiling of the bar to visibly move up and down by inches - yikes! I worried about the building’s structural integrity and hope the issue is addressed (our waiter said they had only see it do that once before and to a much lesser degree, so this is likely a rare occurrence). I hope to go back when the porch dining is open, as it’s quite a lovely view on a summer evening.

   I've been going for years with no real complaints, but last night was a special occasion, and we made reservations (7 adults) 2 months in advance, knowing it was a busy time with school graduations. We requested a window seat for the view and pics, followed up 4 days prior, and added another seat to our reservation. I spoke with a member of the staff, and she also verified the notes for a window seat. Upon arrival, they seated us by the Kitchen/Bar area. When I informed them we had reserved the window table, it was like a joke to them, the window seat was taken for another 1.5 hours if we wanted to wait! Look to be 6 golfers chilling out, most likely golfers which was good for them but not good for me and my family celebration. Tom, our waiter, was great! Girls new I was not happy, but couldn't be bothered. I guess what I'm saying is I won't be returning, and I don't recommend making a reservation since they don't honor it and don't want to ruin your day like ours was.

    The menu had Lots of great choices to choose from. I had the salmon and my partner had the Risotto. Both entrees were outstanding! We also had the fried calamari and the lettuce wraps for appetizers both were very good. For dessert we shared the vanilla and strawberry gelato. All in all we enjoyed our dinner and had a great night out.
