    Our table was NOT ready when we arrived. We had to wait for about a half hour before they could seat us. Otherwise, the service was good and the food was too.

    My son's salmon was very good. I probably would not order the fish and chips again.

    First time here, thought we would give it a chance and thank goodness we did. Fantastic atmosphere, open space and biggest bar area around. TVs with games on for the sports fanatics. We were table of 4, everyone’s food was fresh and super tasty. We had the cheeseburgers burger, tacos, ahi tuna salad and the salmon. Cocktails were spot on as well as perfectly temperature beer. Dawn our waitress was exceptional. Little gem of Northborough. We will return!!

    First time eating there. We had a reservation and sat right down without a wait on a Saturday night.. the waitress was pleasant and we liked the menu. We both had salads that were nice and fresh. The Crème Brûlée was great. My only complaint was that my steak tips weren’t cooked enough, but they were flavorful .

    Excellent service from our server, Dawn, very friendly, helpful and attentive, liked the atmosphere, food was very good, but we were seated near three tables with 3-4 small children at each table and they were allowed to run rampant to the point of getting in the way of servers and even tipping over a high top chair with a loud bang startling everyone. Wish the manager had spoken to the parents, but he didn't. After spending $126 on dinner for two, we'd be hard pressed to return with those kind of unpleasant distractions.

    Based off the star rating I selected this restaurant to try out. Unfortunately, it was not good. The start of the evening was great, we had reservations, so we were sat down very quickly. The server was great we got our drinks quickly, but everything felt a bit rushed, which I understood because it was Valentine's Day, and the place was packed. We ordered our appetizer, and it came out quickly. The fried pickles were ok, the breading was falling off and the pickles felt a bit soft. When we ordered our main course, it went downhill FAST. I will say that when they arrived, we noticed that the portions were huge. My sister ordered the Blacken Chicken Alfredo, the chicken was season well and moist, however the pasta was so bland that my sister had to do 3 rounds of salt and pepper to get some flavor for us to be able to share. I ordered the Mushroom Risotto with steak tips. The steak tips 10/10 I took a small bite of the risotto and gagged; it tasted disgusting. It literally was just wet rice in a bowl of sauce (but looked like water). We had to send it back. When the waitress came back she was astonished that we did not like the food, but quickly offered up a free dessert stating that "When people don't like the food, I usually do a free dessert." Which gave us pause to think that perhaps this is something that clearly happens often. After which she proceeded to go to her surrounding tables multiple times before checking on us again. We took the free dessert which was the Passionfruit Mousse, while in the picture it looked like a small glass we were served in a large glass which was fine because we ended up splitting it. I will say that it is a very sweet dessert (while my sister found it tart ) but if this is their typical portions then I would recommend sharing it. I am not sure I would return again.

    I organized a holiday party and we had a great time. At first I set up the reservation for 6. Two days before the Saturday night event, I changed it to a party of 12. They had the table ready for us before we arrived. Our waitress was excellent and very accommodating to our group. Everyone loved their food and we stayed after dinner to go to the bar for another drink. I definitely recommend! Always a lot of fun!

    It was an off night unfortunately for us..... trouble with the draft beers.... warm ,sour and just off. All three meals were not up to par. Service was outstanding... but no manager in sight to flag down. Typically has it's been much better food and drink!

    Most sports bars have screens on but not sound so it was a surprise/annoying to have football commentary throughout our meal. Food was ok, served nice and hot. Service a bit slow initially but orders came out promptly.

    Girl's night and we all had delicious salads. The waiter was excellent top. We were surprised when suddenly the restaurant filled up with young people and they had a DJ. I don't think the restaurant knew that many would show up but it was like a nightclub in there so we left. Overall Neighborhood Tavern is one of our favorite spots we frequent a lot. Food, service and friendly atmosphere are all top notch.
