    Service was great! I didn’t really enjoy the food, noise level is more than loud everyone is yelling over the next table, which makes dining not that enjoyable.

    Fair upon ordering, I specifically asked the waitress if she wanted to write down my order, as being the tavern burger cooked all the way through, and not to be charred. I told her I would really just like to have it nice as before when I got it the week prior it was burnt, I asked again and you sure you don’t want to write it down and she said no I got it when it arrived as they were placing it through the air toward the table top, I could see it was completely burned and chard. I looked at her as it was being placed and said it is chard. She could not believe how burnt it was to which the manager came later and said you have to understand we cook over a fire grill. it doesn’t matter. If you’re cooking over fire you can watch what’s being cooked and it doesn’t have to be completely chard. They made me another one to which my family tried to wait and not eat their meals until my meal came so we could eat all together, but the second burger took a half hour , it was done perfectly but somehow the moment was lost we were there celebrating it became a chore to try to enjoy the mismatch timing of the food

    The server we had went over and above to make us feel welcome. I had two complaints. We ordered a side of fries which did not come with the meal but brought out well before and the first set of salt and pepper shakers were either empty or not working. Our server remedied the latter quickly.

    Very decent food at fair prices. We enjoyed great service. The server respected that we were old friends who had not been all together for about a year. Large beer selection. Bowls are huge and are a great value.

    We were seated in an area towards the back, the ceiling fans were blowing on high, so we were moved to a different table in the same area. Mid way through our meal the overhead doors were opened without notice. It was a hot and hum day and we were not told in advance that the seating would essentially become outside. This is the first visit that we have ever had that we had any problem.

    Overall was Good experience. The only thing that I would like to emphasize is that we ordered dessert to celebrate my father birthday and we waited more than half an hour for it and it didn't come, so we decided to cancel the order.

    On Father’s Day I took my family for brunch and we had the worst experience. There were significant issues in the kitchen. The food took a very long time to come out. Two of the four meals came out 30 minutes after the first two meals. The second two meals were ice cold and could not be eaten. A soft drink was ordered which was forgotten until much later and said it would be taken off the bill, which it was not. A terrible meal for all. I still gave a 20% tip.

    First time here. Extremely loud atmosphere had to shout to talk. Drinks were good but pricey. Food was good but came out at different times so everyone’s meals were lukewarm by the time we got all dinners. Server was friendly and attentive. They were accommodating for our food allergy diner offering lots of allergy friendly options. Like this place but a little expensive.

    My husband ordered a fish and chip dinner and a side Caesar salad , I ordered chicken strips and a side of Mac and cheese. We each had a cocktail. The salad arrived and at the same time my Mac and cheese and chicken tenders; we waited to see if the fish and chips were close behind but no. My chicken tenders were overcooked and the Mac and cheese was only warm and not hot. After 20 min waiting there was still no entree for my husband and the waiter was no where in sight during this long wait. Finally, the waiter arrived to see if we wanted anything else and still no sign of the fish and chips My husband, who was frustrated at not having a meal, cancelled the fish and asked for the check. The waiter offered to give him something to go but it was clearly too late at that point in time. We had not been here for dinner in a while and will definitely NOT be back. It was not an extremely busy night (Monday at 6pm) I hope the waiter leaned he needs to be more aware of what’s going on with his guests after he has submitted there order.

    The place is lovely. The food choices are excellent. We enjoyed each dish a lot. Had hosted a birthday party for a friend. Would recommend this place without doubt. Maybe the noise levels can be lesser, but if the food continues to be this good, then the noise can be ignored
