    We went on a Saturday night, had reservations, when we got there, we had to wait 25 minutes to be seated . Noise level was loud. We finally got seated it. They gave us fresh sliced Scalli bread with those little tiny packets, plastic packets, of butter ,which I hate by the way. Anyway we had beet salad and also the chicken wings for starters.The beet salad had too many beets and the chicken wings were delicious with some sauteed onions. For entree's, my lady ordered a shrimp scallops combo with linguini, which was really good she said, I had the short rib rigatoni combination with mushroom wine sauce which was delicious. Also ,we split for dessert, the carrot cake with ice cream and whip cream was really good. So the service which was slow at 1st picked up a little bit as we went along. The food was really good and we both had doggy bags to go home but it was expensive , as I wasn't expecting to spend that much. Overall the food was good, good quality, but it was expensive ,and the service was OK. Hope you all have a pleasant experience.

    Food is delicious. Drinks seem to take awhile, but overall wait staff is polite and efficient. My very favorite here is the haddock piccata. It is outstanding! However, the noise level is awful.

    Overall we had a great night. Some on the table loved their food, others did not. There seemed to be consensus that the chicken parm / pasta meals were solid. The Steak tips were a thumbs down. This place was as busy as I have seen it in my years coming here. They, like all, are down in staff. We sat at 730 and were out around 945. We didn't order desert or apps. We were not upset by this as we enjoyed the night out.

    we keep going here becuase its so close to our house and then say the same thing every single time. we're never going here again. food is not very good. and WAY overpriced for what it is. i would say the only thing good about this place is its potential as a place to sit and have a beer. other than that stay the F away

    Fabulous night! Went to see FunBucket -- love the band. Food and service was excellent. What's great is that the music isn't deafening so you can still have a conversation. People at adjoining tables were super friendly.

    Hubby and I went to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary. We chose The Berry Tavern because it’s local, consistent, a great value and the food is very good. I had Chicken Marsala which I feel is the best around. My husband had the Chicken Parm and it was very good. Service was great; only one mix up on our salad but our server kept bringing lots of bread for hubby. Our celebration began with wine and ended with a delicious carrot cake dessert and coffee. My only slight disappointment was that no one made mention of our anniversary. It was noted on Open Table reservation. 😢 We will definitely be back.

    First off, I would say very good restaurant! I hate an up charge for pasta at any restaurant, you might as well just include in the price. Had Grand Mariner shrimp for an appetizer, was excellent with rigatoni alla vodka and a rigatoni Bolognese for entree’s, both excellent! I was sat in the side room, which was fine, very quiet, but the wall my table was against, looked like it was under construction! Scratched, scraped and gouged not appealing to the eye went out for a nice dinner, could use a little sandpaper and a coat of paint! Good restaurant with good food, I would recommend to anybody …

    What a great spot! Found on a google search. Delicious drinks and food and nice neighborhood bar vibe/ feel. A bit loud but it's a busy place and it add's to the vibe. It didn't really bother our ability to have conversations with our friends. Would definitely recommend to friends.

    The food here is usually very good. This night we decided to try the salad with steak tips. The salad was very good but the steak tips were tough and grizzly. Only one of the tips was actually edible. We always enjoy the pizza here and Italian dishes.

    This was our second time back at the Berry Tavern and the food was just as delicious as the first time. The Cesar Salad is a great dinner size portion with a creamy Cesar dressing and shredded Parmesan cheese. The chicken parm is also generously portioned with a large breaded chicken cutlet and plenty of pasta. The French fries are hand cut style, which I’m not usually a fan of but actually enjoyed here. The atmosphere is a casual pub vibe which makes it a great location for grabbing a bite to eat or getting together with friends. While I’ve never visited without making a reservation, it’s a pretty busy establishment so I would recommend a reservation especially if you’re going with a bigger party.
