Acerca de este restaurante

Joya de la zona
Encantador
Bueno para ocasiones especiales

For centuries, a taverna has been a neighborhood gathering place where friends can meet to eat, drink and enjoy life. Taverna co-founders Thanasis Pashalidis and Hakan Bala were raised with a shared ethical compass, which the Greeks call "philotimo" or "love of honor". Family and friends are their ingredients of life, and they believe that nutrition, happiness and health are all directly correlated. Both partners have been culturally influenced by the remedies of the old world and incorporate them into the lifestyle of Taverna. Both have an "ethos" that drives them and inspires others to live fully, which they consider the flavor of life's success. They understand that life is to be enjoyed and that time is of the essence. They are aware that every day is a gift.

Taverna has been created to make people happy and feel alive.

We ordered the special and unfortunately, both my husband and I could barely eat some of it. We have been there before with a great experience, hence this time we invited dear friends with us and we were very disappointed.

Everything is good! However, I would love it if you'll be more active on phone or chat when communicated. Been communicating via phone and sending voicemails but to no avail. Thanks!

Our party of 2 couples went on the Sunday night of the 4th of July weekend at 6pm. The restaurant was not very busy at first and about half full by the time we left. It wasn't noisy. I don't remember hearing Greek music, but that would have been a nice addition to the ambiance. The server seemed like an owner or manager rather than a trained server. There were two issues. Our friend asked about dishes that are vegan. The server had to clarify if fish or seafood were ok, which is not very reassuring. It should be a basic requirement that all servers understand the definition of vegan. He did offer some suggestions and he proactively served the feta on the side for the watermelon appetizer. The second issue was a cocktail order. My friend ordered a Vodka martini slightly dirty. He seemed confused about what this meant and came back to clarify if she meant skinny (??). The cocktail he brought was cloudy with excess olive brine. We aren't big eaters and it was nice to have the option to order small plates. I frequently order octopus at Mediterranean restaurants and the octopus dish was one of the best I've ever had. Parking on the street nearby was easy. Prices were on the high side, but generally worth it. The exception was the watermelon appetizer which came with about 12 1" cubes of watermelon with feta for $14.

I went for lunch and got the grilled chicken, lamb chops and the lamb special of that day. Along with the Spanish Octopus. Everything was great. I thought it was a little bit on the pricey end for the amount of portion served but it was great food nonetheless.

We were a party of 4 seated outside for lunch. The food was great, very nicely done - octopus, calamari, halloumi, moussaka, beet salad. However the service was spotty. Forgot our iced teas, then brought only one rather than two. Was almost the end of the meal when the second arrived. The server did check for gluten very well, and many dishes were GF or could be made so. The outside seating was noisier than expected as the enclosure is hard surfaces with nothing to dampen sound. We could hear voices from the furthest table loud and clear - not very pleasant. Music was loud but they did turn it down for us. There used to be nice plant decor but that is mostly gone. Ambience could definitely be better. The outside heaters do work well - it was a chilly day.

TAVERNA- wow, what a treat! We had the most beautiful meal, paired with the loveliest wine and champagne and the most incredible service! The caviar, tzatziki sauce, beet salad and king salmon were all excellent! The warm and cozy ambiance and amazing wait staff made for a very special evening! Thank you for a wonderful evening - we can't wait to return!

Second time at Taverna. Service was very uneven. We had to ask several times for my husband's martini, water, salt and pita. My husband's martini finally arrived at the same time as our appetizers. We had to then ask the server to delay our mains. The server delayed firing our mains but when they arrived they were warm not hot. Food was good but not great.
