    We enjoyed our experience at the Mulberry Street Tavern. The food is always unique but tasty. I ordered the pie, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Others in the group enjoyed the Steak Frittes and the Mac & Cheese. Server was friendly and fun and knew the menu well. Loved that you can order a Tennants beer as well. We will return relatively soon.

    The food was very good, but portion sizes very small for the price (and I understand realistic/healthy portion sizes). Our server wasn't very attentive and we had to go up to the bar to get refills on our drinks as we sat there with empty glasses for a VERY long time. Our server did not have many tables but was just not very on top of our needs. Our food took way to long to receive. If service was better as I expect it might be with another waitress I may recommend.

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on May 23, 2023Lance, thank you for this feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed your food and I am addressing the service issues with the team so that we can improve moving forward. There's no excuse for inattentive service and I apologize for that sincerely. I hope that you'll give us another chance to earn 5 stars in the future!

    Rainy Friday night,it wasn’t wildly busy but full. Excellent host sat us early and relocated a wasp to outside. Ambiance is fine. Big windows provide good lighting but nothing noteworthy Andrae is so outstanding! Kind, generous, knowledgeable, tremendously entertaining! He made a great experience even better. Great liquor,beer and wine choices. Lamb meatballs were delicious, salt from the sautéed onions and a hint of sweetness from the pomegranate. Chicken dish included lovely aji chile sauce, very savory and seasoned well. Definitely would order again! Salmon dish with tikka was outstanding. Funky parings of fish, mushrooms, and radicchio but flavors were lovely. Finished with donut dessert. If you like cake donuts and orange glaze,giddy up! Port wine to finish. Bravo Andrae! We’re coming back!

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on May 7, 2023Thank you for this beautiful and detailed review! Your comments have been shared with Andrae and with the culinary team. We all look forward to your next visit!

    Overdone lamb meatballs.trout was salmon or at least did not look like any trout I have had.

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on April 27, 2023hello Mark, thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We apologize that we missed the mark on the meatballs and that you did not enjoy the trout. I can, however, ensure you that it is farmed raised trout from Wisconsin that sometimes takes on a pinkish hue due to their feed. I hope that you will give us another chance to impress you in the future!

    Made a late reservation after the Home & Garden Show and was really looking forward to dinner after reading the great reviews, but husband and I really disappointed. Was not charged to split the $60 12oz. strip ordered medium, but cooked medium rare, rare and a third of the steak was all fat, inedible, and the steak sauce was not appetizing. The fried parmesan Yukon gold cubed potatoes needed seasoning and overcooked, the spring mixed greens tossed with a lemon vinaigrette were not tasty, long stems were bitter and can catch in your throat. Service was good, enjoyed our wine selections and an order of herbed fries, the atmosphere was inviting, but the food overall was so disappointing and overpriced.

    The seating area was small. The service was good. The meals and wine were overpriced. I ordered steak and fries. The price was $38 just for the steak and fries. I can buy filet mignon for $12. The steak I received was not filet mignon. No bread was served with the meal. My wife had a pasta dish. With a 15% tip, the bill was around $100. We will not be going back to this restaurant.

    Our Private Dining Rooms, located on the 2nd floor of the Surety Hotel, overlook the Entertainment District on Court Avenue and offer more intimate settings for groups of 10 to 40 people. The spaces are perfect for rehearsal dinners, small weddings, business dinners or family gatherings and each room presents original hard wood floors, stunning views and a lounge area. Food and beverage menus are created using local collaborations and extend from the kitchen of Mulberry Street Tavern.
