   Our server was very attentive and did a good job. The food was good and the family had a good time. The only issue was that I gave an Insider code for points on the meal. After a $200 bill, I brought to the attention of a manager that the server did not put the points on my account. He said he would take care of it. Then the server came back over and apologized saying it would be taken care of right now. We left assuming it was set. It was not reflected in my insider points. That’s disappointing because I do enjoy the restaurant and go there often.

   Waited 30 minutes for our drinks, they never came so we ended up leaving. We had made reservations for 6 and ended up walking out at 6:35 without even having ordered our food.

   Great food prepared exactly as we like it with a few special requests which are never a problem. Everyone is friendly and attentive and food was delivered hot and as ordered. Great spot with nice local energy vibe and plenty of TV scattered throughout to keep tabs on your favorite games.

   I have been to Tavern In the Square at the littleton location several times over the years and have never had a negative experience until yesterday. I don’t know that I’ll visit this location again. I attempted to give a courtesy call as a group of friends and I (8) were heading there for dinner. The open table stated that time was open to let us book so again I just wanted to call and give a heads up before booking. The woman who answered the phone hastily stated they had lots of reservations and that there would be a wait before we were seated. I then explained that open table was willing to let us book it and she insisted that did not think it would be possible to do for that time. I went ahead a booked the reservation anyways just in case more reservations were made after us to hold our spot. When we got there the tone of the hostess (hostess manager? Seemed to be the same individual who answered the phone when i called) was cold and seemed annoyed. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated which was fine as we know that depending on staff and rearranging tables together for bigger parties takes time (although i have to note it was not busy at all there were several tables open). When we were seated, we were seated at a squished table meant for 6. The waiter even noted that and apologized for that. The waiter was great at first but then took a long time coming back. It took 20 minutes to flag her down for the check as she wouldn’t even look our way and even when we caught her attention she seemed annoyed as if us asking for the check was an inconvenience. The food and drinks were amazing as usual. Kudos to the kitchen staff! Overall disappointed with the customer service and our seating placement despite. 2 stars given were for the food, otherwise would have been no stars for our experience yesterday. Not sure I would recommend this location if this type of service is allowed by management.

   The steak tips we ordered had no flavor. My salad dressing was very weak. It was supposed to be cilantro ranch dressing and I didn’t taste a hint of cilantro. The corn salsa in my salad tasted like plain corn. Did the kitchen run out of salt??? Not a great experience. Don’t think we will come here again.

   We go to Tavern in the Square every couple of weeks and we usually don't have any issues, but unfortunately this past experience was sub-par. We got sat in an extremely sunny location, and when we asked to move or have them lower the shades further we got pushback from the waitress and hostess, and had to call a manager over to accommodate us. From that point on our waitress was far from helpful. We had to ask 3 times for booster seats for the kids, & silverware. As for food, we usually go there for there fried fish&chips, but unfortunately the two separate orders in our party of the dish it was very well-done(dry) fish. Honestly we are very laid back and can't remember the last time we complained about anything at a restaurant, I hate making a fuss. Usually its a decent place, I just hope this isn't a new normal for them.

    We were seated at a high top in a very crowded, loud bar area but eventually the group left. Our server Vivian was excellent. Food was good, loved the broccoli appetizer and our crunchy chicken fingers. Drinks were good but would have been great if filled to the rim.

    Unfortunately, we didn’t have the greatest experience tonight. We were seated out in the covered, heated patio (which was very comfortable with the heaters) at one of two tables that the bartender is supposed to serve because the are at a counter that opens to the bar. It took at least 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table after we were sat. Once we ordered it took over 40 minutes for our appetizer to come out and then another 30 after that for our entrees to arrive (including my 4 year old son’s kids quesadilla). Once we received food, it was very good. The manager, Cameron, was very sympathetic to our issues and agreed that the timing on the food was not appropriate. He was gracious and apologetic. He gave us a $25 gift card and comped our appetizer and desserts.

    Overall reasonable place to grab a causal dinner or drinks. Many drink and food options. Food was tasty but did feel a little pricey. I think of Tavern in the Square as a solid safe choice for medium/large groups

    The host staff was disjointed. Reservations was 6:30 and we got seated at 6:55. The hosting staff did not let the wait staff know we were seated. No server showed for at least 15 minutes. Luckily Casey, not our original server came by and asked to help us. 15 minutes after that the assigned server came over to us. Needless to say we stuck with Casey who was excellent. Normally this place is very good with their service, but this situation has occurred twice now in less than 3 weeks.

    The restaurant was fine. The reservation process was not. We reserved a high top table at 6:30, but had to wait about 10 minutes to get a regular table. What is the sense of making a reservation if you have to wait for whatever is available, not what you asked for.

    My son’s birthday & his godmother was visiting from Canada for the first time since 2018 bc of Covid. I made reservations for 6:30 for the 3 of us, my other son, his wife & 2 kids. We were seated promptly, greeted & got drink orders taken 10 minutes later. Drinks came after 20 more minutes. We gave our appetizer orders; I’m celiac & discussed allergy status, we asked for waters. At 7:30 we gave dinner orders. Got appetizers shortly after. Asked for waters, more soft drinks. Got sodas. At 8:15 I got up to see what the hold up was as a table of 8 near us (who came in 20 minutes after us) were already nearly done with their food). As I waited at hostess station, food was delivered to our table by kitchen staff. We asked for waters. At 9, we asked for the check bc my son needed to leave. Never got water, multiple tables around us ate & left. It was a busy Saturday night, obviously staffing issues, we tried to just be gracious & I understand allergy issues are hard to accommodate when back of house is so busy. I did leave more than 20% tip, the server was a sweetheart but obviously overwhelmed.

    We visit often to watch sports events. They offer good comfort food and usually good service. Our only complaint is that sometimes the volume of the speakers over the High Tops makes conversation difficult.

    We were a party of 12 adults (with reservations) We were greeted by our server right away and that was the fastest she loved all evening. The restaurant was not terribly busy especially not the dining room where we were. Our drinks came out 2 or 3 at a time taking sometimes over 5 minutes between deliveries. My son waited well over 10 minutes for a Diet Coke. Out appetizer dishes were never cleared at all. Empty drink glasses and bottles were also left for several rounds. Our food while being served the correct orders they were ALL cold. Not one out of 12 was hot. Our bill was over $500 which would have been just fine had our service and meals been up to par. needless to say I will not plan on a family dinner at that location again. I will however return for a meal in the lounge or at the bar.

    They forgot one of our meals. By the time it came, the rest of our meals were gone or cold. We barely got apology, and I was surprised to see we were charged for the 15 mins late meal. We asked about it and got no helpful response. We also had to flag down a busser to find our waitress so we could order a second round of drinks. Oh and she asked to borrow a pen so she could write down our order. Music was too loud to carry a conversation. Food was okay. Poor experience, been there a dozen times but won’t be back.

    I asked to be seated outside - They didn't open the outside area roll-up windows - so it was essentially eating inside. The food was OK. I had the fried chicken sandwich and a diet coke. My friend had the steak tips, mashed and broccoli. He seemed to like his.. We split the bill - my end came to 28.00 - for a chicken sandwich, fries and a coke. Pricey.. Maybe because I was paying for part of my friend's meal which was more expensive... in any case - it's an ok place.

    My omelette was WAY too salty. The noise was something else. Our guests commented on the noise after we left. Too bad, because the food is fairly good and the $$ wasn’t too bad. The noise was loud enough that we would probably think twice about returning.
