    I've been a Hearsay Market Square fan for quite some time (and still am!), but the Tavern interpretation of the brand is a yummy twist! The new Tavern menu is just lovely, adding more British food favorites. The bangers and mash was just fabulous.

    Our waitress was such a delight. She was friendly and greeted us with a smile. She was always on spot, filling half empty glasses, taking way our dishes when done. The food was delicious. I had fish and chips. They were cooked perfectly. I will be back.

    The wait for our drinks and food took a very long time (even though it was not busy) and some of our food was cold when we got it. Would not go back.

    Good quality food, excellent service and the upscale casual atmosphere is really nice for a pre-dinner and drinks before attending the Nutcracker ballet performance.

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was bland and dry as if it had been microwaved. The mashed potatoes were tasteless, and the deviled eggs filling was super soft and again, bland. I would actually go back if it was for their everyday menu. Thanksgiving dinner is just not their specialty.
    Tavern By HearsayResponded on December 16, 2024
    Hi Evangelena, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that our Thanksgiving dinner didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate your honesty. We strive to provide high-quality meals, and we’ll work to improve these dishes moving forward. We’re glad to hear you would consider returning for our regular menu, and we’d love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience.
