    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.

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on March 9, 2023hello & thank you for this honest feedback. We apologize sincerely that your visit fell short of expectations. We have discussed this review as a team and are working to make improvements to the dishes mentioned, as well as our overall service. We would love an opportunity to make it up to you in the future.

    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.

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on February 24, 2023hello William, thank you for dining with us. We are glad that you enjoyed the service and apologize that your meal did not meet your expectation of value. We appreciate this feedback and will be assessing it as team. Thanks again.

    Went in for the NYE special set menu. Food was ok but nothing outstanding, the soup was more of a purée and wasn’t hot, the fish was mushy and the chicken was dry. The cream brûlée had a weird texture and was served warm and the cookie with the goat cheese cheesecake was over baked and unable to break with my silverware. Compared to other restaurants in town that do special set menus like this, the food just didn’t measure up and the server was very nice but but not very knowledgeable about each of the dishes or the wine pairings. Again, compared to others in town it just wasn’t that great.

    Mulberry Street TavernResponded on January 4, 2023hello & thank you for the honest feedback.

    I love the ambiance in this restaurant! Very warm and cozy lighting and swanky decor. The food and cocktails were delicious! It did take a while to get our first cocktail order and one person's meal was later than the others, but they were very apologetic about it, and we were having a great time so it didn't bother us. Our server Andre was so much fun! Very accommodating!
