   Waiter Jason was attentive and on his game- the tuna tartare he suggested was great

   The Dover sole was cooked perfectly, and our server, Noel, was awesome! We are so happy to have Tavern on Rush back in the neighborhood!

   It was quite expensive but everything we had was very tasty and the service was great! I put in the note when I made the reservation that it was our anniversary and our server (I forget his name) went above and beyond to make sure we had a special time. I was very impressed that he read about us beforehand and knew we were celebrating. The burrata was awesome! I had the pork shank which was yummy and my husband liked his fish. It was loud but I’m also sensitive to noise levels.

   We enjoyed celebrating a special occasion at Tavern on Rush on a recent Saturday night. The re-opening on Rush Street was worth waiting for. The 2 level space is beautifully designed, with various seating areas according to your preferences of wanting to be at the windows or bar at ground level to catch all the action along Rush Street, or upstairs in the spacious main dining room and the adjoining smaller, less energetic room. Our server, Jason, was exceptional. He was attentive, very personable, never without a smile. Having ice water refilled constantly is a detail often overlooked elsewhere but not at Tavern. Kitchen service is timed perfectly not to feel rushed nor waiting endlessly for the entrees. We started with the special app of grilled octopus which was deliciously seasoned with a wedge of lemon alongside for a light drizzle. My partner had the sirloin strip steak, ordered medium rare and served exactly that way; I can never refuse grilled salmon especially when over a sweet butternut squash puree and that too, was served charred rare and was moist and silky. I appreciate another reviewer mentioning the grilled Mexican street corn as a side and it was so delicious we fought for the last spoonful. A massive slice of birthday cake, sprinkles and all, served with a candle was the perfect ending. A high energy vibe does mean higher noise level which was not a concern for 2 of us sitting across from each other. Overall a wonderful evening that we look forward to repeating many times in the coming summer months, especially with the outdoor seating.

   Our filets arrived cold and overcooked from how we ordered. Service was great but seemed a little scattered at times - we struggled to get ahold of our server in a normal amount of time. Wine and appetizers were great, and the welcome Prosecco is a nice touch. Would go back for drinks but the dinner service seemed overpriced and overrated for what we got.

    Our server Jenny Lee was amazing. She treated us like we royalties. All her suggestions food wise were amazing. We will need to request for second floor sitting on our next visit. Thank you!
