Food was not good. Under cooked salmon. Fish nothing but bread coating. And salt way to much salt on everything. The only tasty dish was the crab dip and it had too much salt also.

Our dining experience was not a good one. It took awhile for waitress to come to our table for order, service was slow getting our bar drinks, I ordered a WELL done hamburger and it came out medium rare, blood on the bun and blood on the plate was a total turnoff!! It took over 30 minutes to get our food which is unacceptable! The waitress apologized for the misfortune and my meal was taken off the bill, but we will not be returning to Breakneck Tavern anytime soon!

Dinning in the utmost din I have ever experienced. The fish sandwich was terrible; too much batter and I had an upset stomach when I got home. Half of the fries were bits and pieces - the dregs of the fryer. The service was good. You lost my business.

The food was slow to come out, and when it did, come out, it wasn’t cooked properly. The ambience in the area they stuck us in was pretty terrible. Even though we had a reservation in the server was generally in an inviting person. The food is also extremely overpriced and the menu is a bit confusing. They put my steak right on top of my asparagus, under my mashed potatoes and the steak on top of all of it. The steak was cooked almost well-done when I asked for medium. I wouldn’t go here again unless the menu and the price is significantly changed along with their service.

Food was good, waited forever for appetizers. Server kept forgetting about us or getting the answers to questions we asked. Parking lot was full but there wasn't a line waiting to get in. Also, the music was way too loud (we were seated in the area with the garage door and fireplace). After requesting the volume be lowered, it was and was MUCH better. we really like this place. it was my bday and even though I noted that, nothing was mentioned. why does open table ask this question if it is not reviewed?

Extremely busy and noisy. We had ordered dinner and the table beside us who came in much later received their entree prior to us. It would have been nice to know the price of the special before I ordered it as it was quite expensive. Also, shame on me for not asking. Service was slow and we had to ask for our bill, boxes, drinks, never asked if we wanted anything even dessert. She did ask people around us. The food was mediocre at best. My expensive swordfish had a sauce that was like a glob and the red pepper risotto was hard and not thoroughly mixed. The chicken was swimming in a broth and the brisket Mac and cheese could have had some more meat in it.
