    Christin was an amazing host, kind and funny & helped me navigate the menu due to my gluten intolerance. Food was great as were the signature cocktails. Only disappointment was the French fries weren’t gluten free.

    A group of us gathered for pre-theater drinks & dinner. The hosts were very warm & welcoming. They were able to make adjustments to the reservation with no issue. Gigi was our server and went above & beyond to provide excellent service and to accommodate my guests needs. The Tabard Inn is one of my favorites!!

    Had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Service was fantastic and Dave was humorous yet informative about the menu. Recommend getting at least one item from the charcuterie options. There is a spicy salami that is spreadable and we were happy to have tried it. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Food and atmosphere were great! Good place to order a bunch of things to split and they have creative takes on dishes. The server was not the most attentive and it took a while to order and close out.
