    Our food was very slow to arrive, got salads promptly and appetizers promptly, but mail course was slow to arrive, wasn't very hungry by the time we got food. My credit card wasn't returned to me either, so had to cancel card, which is a pain in the neck. Food was hot, salads were good, steaks were good, but I'm not sure it was worth the price.

    The cooks did not accommodate my Alpha Gal Allergy when I said I can’t have mammalian ingredients or cross contamination they still served me scallops OVER SALTED, OVER GARLICKY, OVER ONIONY floating in a ton of buttery creamy sauce. That even the server questioned. Of course at the end of our meal the server offered to remake but I’m not going to let my guests watch me eat while they are all done. Wine list was excellent however. And the server was kind. Just a lil slow on reaction time. (First Time Here) ps. The salads were like elementary school addition

    Took out of state guests that are old PS/BH patrons for the lobster and onion rings. All of our food was fabulous and our waiter Ben was first class. The table beside us raved about the key lime pie, but it was sold out before we were ready for dessert.

    Service was excellent as server was watchful throughout the meal and ensured wine was refilled and checked on food comments. We had both filet mignon, rib-eye (cooked Pittsburgh style) and prime rib, all cooked med-rare as ordered. Portions were generous and required take-home boxes - which were of high quality and re-useable. Only negative was that the room with its high ceilings captures all conversations and it gets loud as the room fills which seems to make people talk louder. Nevertheless, a greatly enjoyed meal - thanks to the staff and especially the Chef - we shall return!

    First timers. Celebrated my husband's birthday. Great service and food was excellent. We both ordered ribeye. Main waitress was very knowledgeable on the food and wines! The rest of the wait staff was very responsive on refilling waters, etc. Great place with beautiful views and highly recommend for special occasions or date nights while at the Lake of the Ozarks!

    In our opinion this is the best restaurant at the lake. The service and food is outstanding. We dined with family from Kansas City who are true “foodies” and they were very impressed. We enjoyed the filets cooked to perfection and loved the creamed spinach as well. The crème brûlée was heavenly! The service provided by Cindy was fantastic and our table by the window provided a beautiful view of the lake. This restaurant is a MUST for anyone at the lake who enjoys fine dining and wonderful service.

    This was our first time at Tavern on the Bend, but it will not be our last! The wine list is incredible! One of the best at the lake. Start with the onion rings— if you remember the old Bruner’s onion rings you will be very happy to find them again here. Our filet’s were cooked to perfection. We shared sides and found the lobster Mac and cheese to be a fave. Make sure to save room for the homemade deserts— outstanding! The server was very professional and efficient. Truly, one of the best dining experiences we’ve had at the lake, and elsewhere, in a long time!

    Beautiful atmosphere and lake views. Service was great as well as the food. It was nice that a salad and a side are included with the entree. The salad was so fresh and delicious with homemade croutons that we remember from the Blue Heron! The steaks were excellent and my son said the pork chop topped with bacon jam was the best pork chop he ever had! My wife’s Chilean Sea Bass was delicious as well. We will definitely visit again!

    Steaks were great. Sides were VERY ordinary, vegetables were flavorless, tasted canned. Expected much better for the price. The worst thing however was that my wife is gluten intolerant, her eyes swell shut. We asked the server three or four times about the food, mostly sauces. She either said they didn’t have gluten or she didn’t know and would check. After all that, my wife’s eyes swelled shut overnight. For a high end, fairly expensive restaurant, and with so many people avoiding gluten these days, it was ridiculous they couldn’t or wouldn’t accommodate and didn’t even know their ingredients. If you are celiac or gluten intolerant,stay away!! We will never go back.

    Absolutely delicious! The cuisine, service and beautiful lake view is phenomenal. One member of our party said the filet was “ the best he had eaten at the lake in 15 years”! The steaks are fresh…..never frozen…. and melt in your mouth! We also had the bone in pork chop with bacon jam….delicious! The French onion soup is loaded with Gruyere cheese and is a must. We also loved the creamed spinach. The wine list is exceptional and the bar area is a fun place to stop prior to dinner…..or for a casual meal as well! I love French 75’s and I truly think the bartenders there make the best ones I’ve had! This is truly one of the BEST dining experiences the lake has to offer.
