    A flight delay would have made us late for our reservation so I called to see if we could come later. We were graciously accommodated, warmly welcomed and greeted by name. Our waitress, Jasmine, was absolutely lovely and too great care of us. Our meal was delicious. We’ll be back!

    Wonderful experience!! Great food, fair price, welcoming staff and great server, Nicole! Stopped here after being turned away at Aqua restaurant at Westin because they welcome Only registered guests. They should be removed from Open Table app because they are no longer "open" to guests!

    Marilyn, we're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience with us! It's great to know that you enjoyed the food and found our staff welcoming. We hope to see you again soon for another fantastic meal!

    Our waiter Tyler was great, very helpful in describing several dishes. The bouillabaisse was outstanding & my husband's pork chop with sweet potato mash perfect. Shared the chocolate pecan pie, wow! Cool old stone building by the river. Gotta come back for sure.
    Boar's Head Grill and TavernResponded on May 14, 2025
    Connie, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed Tyler's service and your meals. The bouillabaisse and pork chop are favorites for a reason! We can't wait to welcome you back for more delicious experiences by the river.
