    The Kaufman Tavern is a well run restaurant with an extensive menu. We have eaten there several times over the past year and have never been disappointed. The servers are well trained and the service is good. It tends to get noisy when the bar area is full and the dining room is busy, but it's still worth going there.

    Kaufman Tavern consistently delivers great atmosphere, service and food. It was noisy on Mother’s Day, but it was a full restaurant. We will be back.

    Seated on time per the reservation. Had no idea there was a kids menu or portion sizes. After ordering the food took approximately 25-30 minutes to be delivered to our table. My wife ordered salmon Benedict and received crap cake instead. My daughter ordered salmon breakfast that was supposed to come with grits. When we asked the server she said that grits do not come with the kids portion. Had zero idea there were different portions. We were very excited for Mother’s Day brunch and have never been there for brunch before. We won’t be back for brunch.

    Terrible experience from top to bottom. Had a 10:30am Mother’s Day reservation and didn’t get seated until close to 11. Waiter came by with water, brought us coffee and took our order, then we never heard from him again. We sat around for over an hour as we watched people who were seated after us get their meals while we were forgotten about entirely. At one point, the waiter even stopped by and asked if we wanted a coffee refill, to which I said yes, and then never showed back up again. Eventually, we decided to pay for our drinks and leave, and as we walked to the car, the manager (I’m assuming) ran out and offered to comp our meals which had apparently just been completed, but we had already left and our <1 year old was restless, so the time had passed. It was just a bad experience overall. I’d love to comment on the food, but we never got it. I’d love to say something about the service, but it was awful. I’d love to say the manager stopped by when she was walking around the restaurant to see how we were doing and reassure us that our food was coming rather than catch us as we are already packed up and leaving, but that never happened. I’d love to tell you that I was able to give my wife a good Mother’s Day brunch experience, but alas, I can’t do that either.

    The service was great and the food was delicious! The bruschetta appetizer was much bigger than expected and we all loved it. I had the roasted beet salad with shrimp added and it was a wonderful combination.
