    Party of 4 for lunch. We started with some Onion rings which were nice and crispy and perfectly seasoned & French onion soup, so rich and tasty. Steak tips with mashed & asparagus,. Large portions of tip &bthe were cooked to perfection. Baked haddock with tri-fries & slaw. Very tasty, also cooked perfectly. Fish tacos were presented so beautifully & they took, were cooked to perfection & lastly I had the Mediterranean salad with a side of steak tips. It was so tasty, dressing was homemade & delicious & the tips were cooked perfectly. Our server was so nice, attentive & there if we needed her. This is a beautiful, cozy place & they get it right every time. Consistency is key. Kudos to everyone on their team to make this place run so smoothly.

    We called ahead with a large party of 12 and were accommodated perfectly. The outdoor seating and live band were a great addition to the delicious food! The steak tips were a huge hit! Our hungry hockey players were fed promptly and well in between games. Will definitely return!

    Really enjoyed this place. First time here, a little worried when we first pulled in, parking lot was jammed and place looked very small, bit we were seated right away. Very nice guy that seated us and waited on us. Checked on us several times , when i ordered my bacon blue burger i asked for tots for my side, he asked if i wanted them loaded, YES. My husband had one of the specials , chicken satay, came with 2 sides, when the waiter brought it out he said he was bringing him extra veggies, don’t know why there where plenty there but okay. Drinks were well made! Food was delicious, entertainment was very good, not too loud. 2 meals, 3 drinks =&89.00 before tip.

    We had a great waitress, Bri Very pleasant, attentive, enjoyed her very much! The chef was also very attentive, caring. We needed something reheated. The setting is awesome, great wall pictures, (we took pics), nicely setup tables. We usually go to Hitching Post, glad this Tavern is their other restaurant. Two great restaurants.

    Hidden gem on the south shore in a 10 sq mile radius of mediocre restaurants (with the exception of a few). I have lived here for years and came for the first time tonight. The atmosphere, the staff and the food is all amazing. I am so mad I didn’t come here sooner. Pictured is the coconut shrimp- which was the best I’ve ever had.
