    Food was good - but the quac had the label from the avocado in it. The manager came over to apologize, and we said it wasn't a big deal, but they didn't offer to replace, and they didn't comp anything, which is a missed customer service opportunity. Otherwise, food was quite good, salmon and salads were great, and appreciated the service. Just not sure I would go back. A label isn't a big deal, but it shows lack of attention to detail. We sat outside and it was beautiful - nice and open and airy.

    Great for drinks! Unfortunately, this is the third time in a row the food comes out okish, definitely not as good as expected. Food allergy was mentioned but they didn’t check all my food, ended up with a the allergic ingredients, no apologies received nor discount.

    Lilly, We take our allergy procedure very seriously so I am alarmed to hear that there was an issue with an allergy left unresolved. If you are willing to provide it I would like to get more information about your visit. Please see my private message for contact. Thank you, Jennifer Waitt

    It is a great place to eat in open air, with its real roof and ceiling fans so it never gets too hot. It can be noisy, depending on traffic. We just wish the food was better and more consistent. In the last 2 visits, we’ve had meals served cold and a salad with half the lettuce going bad. So TOTS will remain a place we go only when we want the outdoor dining experience.

    Waiter was totally disinterested. Had to ask him to come over everytime we needed something, including placing our order, frequently because he forgot something that had been asked for. Resturant is half way between our home and children/grandchildren. Probably meet there 6-7 times a year. Also enjoy outdoor access, as am immunosuporessed, and continue to wear mask and be very carefull. We will continue to come, but this waiter's conduct was a real downer and we left before coffee and desert, which we usually enjoy.

    Always enjoy Tavern in the Square for dinner, but the brunch was not great. The egg in the breakfast sandwich was a strange texture. For the price it was not a large sandwich. Drinks were delicious though and service is always great. Will be back for dinner

    The chicken tenders are excellent, and I appreciate all of the GF items on the menu. The carrot and celery sticks on the side (and a little arugula) were all welcome - but the carrots were possibly par-cooked and a bit odd. It was plenty for a lunch entree. My friend had the burger and it seemed fine, fries were ordinary. Sauces on her plate and mine were excellent. Service was good - our server was new and she had one or two small slips (left the menus, didn't leave a pen) but overall, great! Food came reasonably quickly. The patio is noisy - lots of Lahey ambulance traffic back and forth. We could converse easily otherwise.
