Food and service was good but I always expect great there. Lobster roll did not taste like it was fresh from the ocean. House maple dressing did not taste like house maple dressing. It was all just okay.

Both of us had the hummus appetizer which was served with Nan and grilled veggies — excellent app split between two of us. Each of us had the grilled salmon — YUMMY! I highly recommend Town Square Tavern.
