"The fish was fresh and plentiful, the preparations were very creative. Great wine list. The interior was urban and sophistacted. Most important, the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and very personable."

"This place is fantastic! We loved everything we had and we covered all the bases. The Tavern sampler appetizer was a perfect way to try several house specialties. It was our Wedding Anniversary and they gave us a wonderful dessert on the house. I cannot believe I have not found this gem earlier. We will be back early and often!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed The Tavern, actually it is now one my favorite new places to have dinner. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning often. Desserts are prepared fresh, as you order them, so they take twenty minutes, and come to your table pippimg hot and are so very good! Hopefully next time we will have an opportunity to meet the Chef, amazing'. It's a cozy place, so the tables are somewhat close to each other, however it was not too loud, we were comfortable in our space. Loved it! A Great Dining experience."

"Our party of six had a wonderful meal at The Tavern. We had one of the little alcoves, which was great for minimizing the noise. We enjoyed everything: drinks, bread, apps, entrees (appreciated the vegetarian menu) and desserts. Highly recommend."
