   Waiter was great but this restaurant is VERY expensive! We only ordered apps and drinks and our bill was almost $400!! So we won't be going back, just way too expensive!!

   Dined at the domain location many times and have had decent encounters. Today was lacking at the 2nd St spot. Seated quickly. But our app took 45 min. -they said it was delivered to the wrong table. After we finally got ours and ate the burnt toast with a slim share of tomato topping, they tried to bring us another. Entrees were chopped salad and burger- which took even longer, bc we ordered the burger well done. We arrived before the rush and still spent an hour and a half trying to grab a quick brunch. Drinks were at least good. Don’t go if you don’t like being in restaurant jail, endlessly waiting.

   Jordan was our server and he did an amazing job of stopping by to check on us and suggested a pasta special that we tried and loved! The drinks and meal were spot on, as always. Thank you for the birthday surprise too! We look forward to coming back soon!

   Food and drinks were great. Waited a while for the first drinks to arrive. Restaurant was not busy, so don’t know what the issue was. Men’s bathroom was out of order so just had the women’s available.

   Always wonderful! Whenever we have guests from Europe that need a little taste of home we love bringing them to Taverna for a little comfort.

   There were a few flies inside that kept buzzing our table. That made the experience a little annoying. But, all in all everything was good.

    You can’t beat the convenience to the ACL LIVE theater across the street. And three of the four people in our party were very happy with the food. Salmon entrée, great, two red fish special entrée of the night, great. Margarita pizza, horrible, dry as hell.  The carpaccio appetizer was splendid and two desserts were well received. Outstanding service by Mrunal. Not crowded, not loud on the Sunday we were there.
