The owner was incredibly nice, he made you feel so welcome and so comfortable! The food was extremely outstanding. The service and staff was just as outstanding! There was only two negative parts of my experience, one was the noise level…the acoustics could have been better, and the other was the decor, a little softer and homier look for me would have made the room perfect! All and all I would recommend this place highly! I will definitely go back! Jeanette

About the restaurant

We believe a dinner over amazing food should be an experience that brings people together. The desire to produce lifelong memories over a meal comprised of locally sourced (when possible) seasonal ingredients coupled with an internationally recognized wine program rarely seen in the US - excites us. These delectable dishes that are meant to be shared with family and friends is the conduit for building fond memories. We long for our guests to feel welcomed and relaxed with a casual-elegance that shines long after the last forkful and interesting sips.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a while. Prime rib was juicy & full of flavor. My wife had the Chicken Cordon Bleu which was outstanding. Excellent wine selection too. We highly recommended Frasher’s Tavern. We’ll be back & bring friends!
