Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

The food was amazing and creative! My husband and I ordered the Bao buns and the pork schnitzel and had crème brûlée for dessert. The only problem was when we ordered our second round of drinks, the waiter disappeared and it was another 20 minutes before someone else arrived to check on us. By that time it was late and we were ready to leave so we got our check and when they brought the check, they also brought out my second drink but did not charge me so that made up for it a bit.
