   What a wonderful restoration of a historic house. The colonial atmosphere is exceptional, very much like Williamsburg...but better since it is in historic Delaware. The staff were all very professional and knowledgeable. The menu and food were outstanding. Will definitely return again and again!

   We dined on Christmas Eve. Table was ready when we arrived. Service starting from front of the house to server, runner and bar was excellent. Food was cooked exactly as ordered , arrived at perfect temperature. Dining room was quiet and nicely furnished.

   Had a great Christmas Eve dinner (I'm a tough marker), and everyone really enjoyed their meals. Shared five appetizers and all were very good. Bar area is wonderful with some tables, but otherwise small intimate rooms make for a great ambiance. Service was excellent. Will be back often.

    Our first time visiting Booth House and we loved it! We sat in the Tavern at a high top and had a leisurely dinner with friends. Soup, appetizers, dinner, drinks and dessert were all wonderful! Server was great! bar was busy and fireplace was pretty. We will definitely return.

    This was my fourth visit to BHT. Love the ambience. The food never disappoints. Had my favorite--grilled lamb chops!!! Diners who are unfamiliar with the space, should be aware that there are several rooms at BHT in addition to seating in the bar area and, weather permitting, outside.

    Booth House Tavern has so much potential! The dining rooms are beautiful, the bar looked really fun and the service is outstanding. Mia is so friendly and gracious; our server Jake was very attentive and worked hard to meet our needs. I really want to come back, but the food needs major improvement. On paper, the menu looks fantastic, it's the execution of that menu where things fall short. A few positives, the 6 oz fillet mignon was very good as was the halibut. The rest of our meals were mediocre at best. The panko-crusted fish bites were piping hot inside, but not crunchy on the outside at all; it didn't seem like panko breading. The crab dip was a bit fishy tasting, although there was enough creamy cheese that we did eat it all. The prime rib was overcooked and tough; the scalloped potatoes were weird - not scalloped at all, but a whole potato cut in half and covered in the cream sauce. The scallops were too salty and not cooked well; the butternut squash puree and quinoa were unseasoned and just didn't work. The apple crisp was not crisp and the skins were left on the apples which deterred from the dessert; the ice cream was OK. The bread pudding was fairly dry. I really want to like this place and would come back to try some other dishes. Dinner is pricey for the quality of food we were served; it would be fun to hang out in the bar and try some different appetizers and/or sandwiches. Maybe we just hit an off night. We would recommend Booth House Tavern with some qualifications.

    We were seated in one of the small upstairs dining rooms that had only three tables. A little close for comfort with other diners. The room was lit with recessed lighting that could not be dimmed. It was like dining in an operating room . The food was okay, but could be improved. There’s no need to smother a filet with a sauce that looked like compound butter. A good filet should stand alone. The wine list is sparse but adequate.

    Great experience as always! We added two people to our reservation as we walked in the door and they found us a great table on the patio. It was Redemption Bourbon tasting night with a generous flight for $10, and most of us ordered the Sea Bass, pan seared w/ poblano sauce over roasted yellow pepper grits. Absolutely delicious!

    We had dinner here on a perfect Fall evening and dined on the patio. It’s a lovely space and looks to have outside heaters so as to accommodate diners in colder weather. Our server, Jake, was attentive. The menu had something for everyone. We all enjoyed our meals. The manager (Mia) gave us a tour of the premises, including the main floor and upstairs dining rooms. She knew so much about the history of the building. A return visit is in order!

    Everything was really good. I didn't like the turkey burger, but that's more about personal preferences than any issue with it (maybe there was paprika, or something else orangey-colored in with the onions?). Fries were nicely hand cut, but soft all over, I prefer them a bit crispy. We loved the lamb, the salads and crab cake sandwich. Excellent value.

    First time here, apps were tasty, we had the calamari and crab dip. The dip could of been hotter but it still had a good taste. Then me and my husband got the chopped salad, it is REALLY chopped!! Our friends got the Caesar Salad and said it was good. For dinner I had the Cajun Shrimp pasta, it was mediocre, my husband had the strip with mashed potatoes and roasted cauliflower. He enjoyed it, our friends had the filet and the salmon and both enjoyed. For dessert we each had the apple crumble, but the their was no crumble and the skin was left on the apples. They make their own cinnamon ice cream, but the taste of cinnamon was over powering! Needless to say we did not eat the dessert. Our server was Jake, he was new but good. The drinks were not that great, had the grapefruit basil martini, but could not taste any basil. Overall it was good, next time maybe just some beer and apps. The restaurant itself is really nice inside and they have a nice bar area. That is where I would sit the next time. The main rooms in the restaurant were nice and the decor was cool.

    We were on the deck. Some lighting issues out there. Very busy and kitchen not keeping up. Probably should have turned people around. Very friendly service just not experienced. My salmon was quite good and cooked right. The scallops good but on small side. We had a filet that was good but mashed potatoes were cold. Stuffed mushrooms were small. Maybe two teaspoons on crab imperial on three small mushrooms. Came on a large plate which made it look odd. Very quaint place. Manager was walking around and engaged. I think they have some kinks to work out. Will try again.

    One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Waited told us 3 times, let me get you some bread. I finally asked fir some. Had to tell him we want to order drinks and starters. It took so long to get our drinks that we decided to put our entries in. Never got our starters and servers didn't even realize it. Food was not very warm and nit prepared well. Drinks were terrible to the point couldn't drink them. Severs said he would ask the manager if he could take the starters off the bill. So nice of him since we never received them. Mind you, we order 3 different starters, the was only 1 that showed compted on the bill. To top everything off, we were still sitting at our table and the buser puts the bus tub on my sons chair and start reaching across us clearing the table. Very disappointed all around.
