    They over cooked my ilet mignon. It was totally flavorless and dry. Never saw my server again after I irdered. Loudest bar I’ve ever been in. Had to ask to b reseated…when I made a dinner rez, had no idea it’d be at a hightop in the bar where I was jostled and shouted over. I asked for standard seating. Huge disappointment on what was supposed to be a special evening. Food was too terrible to finish. Iced tea from a machine. Not making this up…gross. So left and went to Carve on the corner and had a slice and some freshly brewed iced tea for exactly 1/5th of what I paid at the tavern.

    Wonderful dinner with college friends before a Broadway show. Great location, delicious food and staff who get your food and drinks to you promptly. Loved the crab cake appetizer.

    we went for pre theater brunch. the menu on the web site was different then what they actually offered. there was no "brunch" food, altho the web page indicated brunch was served on Wednesday. The service was awful. the food indifferent. very over priced and bad value.

    I went pre-theatre before seeing Gypsy with my 80 year old mother. We had a 12:15 reservation and I told them it was pre-theatre and they seated us 20 mins late at a "high top" bar styled table which was pretty loud. By 1:15 our lunch still hadn't arrived, and I also told them upon seating that we needed to leave by 1:30 to give my elderly mother enough time to walk. It was a very rushed meal to say the least, and I didn't even have enough time to order a birthday dessert for her. The food was actually very good. They comped half our bill which was nice of them but I couldn't recommend this restaurant for pre-theatre because of our experience. I wouldn't go back after that.
