Took family of four there to celebrate my birthday. Made an online reservation in advance. Staff was polite, professional. Server was excellent she came at the right time but didn't overwhelm or crowd us too often. Brought a cake with candle in it for my birthday as a bonus. Food quality was great. This location is doing a great job with strong customer service. Kudos!

Probably will never be back. I used to love coming here but the past couple of times the food has gone down hill. This last time I went, the steak tips were cooked 4 different ways ranging from rare to well done instead of all medium which is what I asked for. I also had asked for the broccoli to be cooked well done on the softer side and of course it came out rock hard. It was maybe steamed for 3 seconds. The waitress was also not the best not very friendly and just anticipated that because we were a younger crowd that we would not tip well. This attitude reflected in her service… When she finally brought the bill she didn’t even look at us or say a word, just dropped the bill and walked away. Nice place but not worth the price.

I normally like Tavern in the Square, but I went last night with two of my friends to celebrate my birthday & had a weird experience. We all split one margarita pitcher (2-3 small drinks each) and got an appetizer and a main course. The staff was very sweet and brought me a birthday brownie. Shortly after that I felt sick, so went to go to the bathroom & was immediately very dizzy lightheaded and needed to be helped by one of the staff to walk to the bathroom. I bumped into a chair on the way there. Everyone assumed I was very intoxicated but this wasn’t the case. When I got to the bathroom I got aggressively sick, and was seemingly fine afterwards. I don’t know if the food was the cause, but it was scary. I’ve never had that happen ever and was afraid I was going to pass out. I won’t be getting that dish again for sure. I can say however, that the staff was very concerned and helpful, guiding me to the bathroom and bringing me water and coming back to check on me and investigate to make sure I wasn’t drugged etc. Very thankful for the server who checked on me…. I wish I got her name!

Our server Meghan was the nicest!! Would go back just for her. when we arrived we checked in with the host. I had mad online opentable reservations and there was plenty availability it appeared at multiple times. He told me that he had another reservation at 6:30 (this is at 5:15/5:20)-not sure why since there were plenty of open tables all around the restaurant I could clearly see. he then said he would bring a menu which he never did. other than him the service and food was excellent!

First time there. Pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is that our food became cold quickly because the glass partition to the outdoors was open during the first half of our meal. Also they gave me way too many French fries. The portion could have fed at least four people. The service, food, and atmosphere were good. We’ll definitely return. Lots of vegetarian options. Nice.
