Locally sourced and seasonally inspired, Tavern on Kruse changes menus every 12 weeks as we weave the season's perfectly-fresh and perfectly ripe bounty into our offerings. Our executive chef, Nathan Bates, spent four and half years at the Michelin 3-Star "Fifth Floor" in San Francisco. Our space is elegant, but our staff is friendly and jovial as we see "people" as the reason for dining. We look forward to meeting you.

My first time at this location. The food was very fresh and tasty. We sat outside, but the interior of the restaurant seemed very nice. Our server was very pleasant but several times mixed up food or drink deliveries to our table of six. I enjoyed the beet salad and also had a taste of the Cubano sandwich. Both were very tasty. Overall, it was a great experience and I will probably go back there again.

A wonderful Easter brunch. We really liked most of the selections - smoked trout, bacon, frittata, ham station, muffins, grilled vege's, chocolate mousse. The only weak link was the French Toast - not good. In all, a very nice effort.
