Apps are great, but main dishes (fish, sandwiches, chicken) were not good at all and expensive.

Our poor server had to have been waiting on at least 12 tables at once. Saw him every 30 minutes and almost didn’t get a chance to order our food. Thank goodness it came out quickly or we wouldn’t have made our show. Drinks are a rip off as well, $13 for a small bit of alcohol in a tiny glass with a huge ice cube. Very disappointed with this experience. You’d think they would have been more staffed for a show right across the street...

If you are attending a show at The Cadillac Palace - this is the place to go before or after. It is across the street and near excellent parking. Wonderful service and wonderful food. I was surprised at how large the Tavern was, but you wouldn't know that until you explore the inside. We had a wonderful time talking with friends, the stuffed dates were my favorite!

The food was very good, but the bread pudding's sauce tasted like alcohol. Moreover, the desert my husband ordered which was chocolate cake, while it was very good, was big enough for two. I wish our server would have mentioned this, otherwise we would only ordered one desert, instead. Overall, this was a very nice place.

Reservations were limited, yet when we arrived, the place was empty. Took forever to be waited on and server was less than pleasant. Got trio dip of salsa, quest and guacamole, which were very small. Chicken and avocado taco left much to be desired. Chicken was not fresh and seemed to be pulled from a container of juice. And avocado was really just a side of the same guacamole. Only plus was they were generous with their wine pours.
