    We dined here for Easter Brunch in the Garden Room. It was bright and airy (ceiling fans helped with that!). Service was spot on, attentive staff, not overbearing. It was Priz Fix meal that day and we can attest to the delicious Smoked salmon appetizer, chilled lobster and the Gnocchi! We would have been happy with that! The entrees were all delicious, although one of the lamb dishes came out over done, despite both being requested for Med Rare. The scallops were tasty, could have enjoyed more of the mushrooms though. Pork Chop was nicely prepared and you couldn’t go wrong with the Steak adrie’s, although not sure about the Truffle in the fries- the fries were good, just not sure there was truffle. Dessert- everyone enjoyed their choices and the Carrot Cale was declared the winner! Tasting Chocolate was nicely prepared, the cheese board was OK. Crème Brûlée was HUGE - almost too much! All in all a lovely brunch and would seek it out again.

    As usual the staff are wonderful and the vibe is perfect for a relaxing and fun evening out. The linguine with clams was just perfect. My wife got the risotto with seafood which is outstanding every time. We love the Tavern!
