    Ordered the seafood special. Waiter explained it as a linguine with lobster and shrimp with a scampi sauce. It came and was not a scampi sauce but it was a Alfredo sauce and all seafood was overcooked. Waiter didn’t come back for quite awhile to ask how everything was so I ate it because others at the table were eating and I was hungry. Other friend ordered the tilapia dish and it had shrimp and risotto in it. Shrimp was overcooked and risotto was undercooked. Wouldn’t recommend the seafood but the steak looked delicious that other person had.

    Have been there for happy hour and I think maybe a little larger cocktail list for happy hour and 3 sliders instead of 2 . I have been there for regular dinners and everything is very good . On Thursday the steak for 2 is a good deal and the steak is very good I just think 1 side or salad should be included. I have also had a bunch of private patty’s there and everything was very good. I would recommend tavern 18 to everyone. Good job

    This time I had to take one star away. We made reservations on Open Table. No problem when we arrived. The waiter came over and took our drink order. We had the Blue Mule and the Blood Orange Margarita. They were great. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip with the chips and the Kobe Cheese Burger Sliders. The sliders were amazing. Hands down the best sliders I have ever eaten. The sliders were cooked to perfection, the buns, and tomatoes were fresh. The bread is always great there. I tried to order the pork loin which they said they didn't not have tonight. In a haste I order the steak sandwich. Here is where the star was lost. The steak was very chewy and fatty. I ended up taking apart the sandwich and ate the ham and cheese. The fries were great and the oil they fried them in was fresh. We ordered the black bean burger and chicken tenders and fries. The black bean burger they said wells great and the chicken tenders were real chicken tenders, not that frozen diner crap. The price was right at the end of the night.

    Haven't been here for a long time. I remember an $18 hamburger on the menu. It seemed like they readjusted their menu pricing and I found it very moderate. We started with cocktails the were very nice and quickly brought over. We then had a mixed dozen of Raw clams and oysters which were nicely chilled, fresh, and delicious. We then opted for the Porterhouse for two. I would stack it against any of the premier steakhouses. It was cooked perfectly and we even brought some of it, uh, very little, home with the bone. We were impressed and will definitely be back.

    We were led to a lovely table and were brought delicious rolls and water immediately. The server took our drink order and brought them in a timely fashion. I ordered the baby back ribs and my husband had the fish and chips. The food was hot and delicious and the portions were generous. Highly recommend!

    We started off with the baked clams for an appetizer, 8 to an order. They were good, very buttery, I prefer a more oreganato style. There were 3 of us, so we decided to share the porterhouse steak for two which came out on a sizzling wrought iron pan and was plenty for all of us. It came with 2 sides, they were ok. We had the cream of spinach which I thought was very soupy and the sweet potato fries. We also ordered the Chilian Sea Bass, it came with risotto. We shared a slice of almond cake, I think it was called Grandmother’s something, two coffees and a bottle of red. I would say the food was good, not great, I would try it again on a night that they have specials (Thurs. 50% off). It was an expensive meal, $330 including tax and gratuity.

    Context: We were seated for the Father’s Day brunch. The food, service and ambience were really good. Our only dislike was that we had 45 minutes left to spend and were told that since we finished our food we had to leave so that they can prepare for next service. We pretty much just ate and left. Sad because we wanted to sit and enjoy the white wine sangria. . And as per the brunch menu we thought we could spend the allotted 1h.45min. I guess we were wrong.
