Our family had a fabulous New Years dinner. Our waitress Carolyn was wonderful in every way. She was very personable and knowledgeable on the history of the Tavern. We loved the ambiance of the room and the gentleman who played the guitar was so talented as was the gentleman who explained our room as a bedroom long ago. Two of us had the seafood 2 had the Prime Rib and our grandson loved his hotdog. We will make this a tradition every year going forward.

Service was excellent. Price was a little high for the quality (taste) of the food. Wine choices were very good. My husbands flounder was a little on the dry side. My barbeque chicken was not what I was expecting. A little too spicy for me. I will probably try a different entree next time. Overall, I would recommend to friends and will return.

Service was excellent. Tables are fairly close so can be rather noisy. Nice menu with interesting options. Cuisine was very good. Our one concern was portion size, especially for the price. We ordered the halibut and the large bowl contained a surprisingly small piece of fish. That was a bit disappointing. Dessert was delicious.
