   Best meal I've had so far since moving to the Poconos. They made my fiance's birthday a great experience. Strongly recommend the parmesan risotto.

   Excellent service from Mackenzie. Three of us ordered the special feature, soft shell crab with shrimp and jasmine rice. Outstanding. One of us ordered the pork chop. He had it last week when we ordered takeout. It was delicious the first time, but sadly it was dry this time. Everything else was spot on. Very nice ambience, will definitely return.

   Our experience at the waters edge restaurant was fantastic. The Manager was professional and polite. Our waitress Mackenzie was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and the specials. All of the employees when they passed our table asked if everything was ok, even the Bartender came to our table to see how everything was going. We can’t wait to go back!!!!

   I was so excited to visit this restaurant because I have such nice memories of Memorytown from when I was younger. I was impressed with the size and decor of the restaurant. Our server was wonderful but unfortunately the food was disappointing. I ordered the soup of the day which was described more like a beef stew but tasted like Campbell’s out of a can. The sirloin steak and potatoes arrived slightly warm, more on the cold side. We sat by the window which looked pretty but it was extremely cold. I left with my feet feeling frozen. Not comfortable at all. Maybe better in the summer with some menu changes.

    This was my 1st time here and I have to say it was an outstanding experience. I had one of the best Old Fashions drink I have ever had. Done properly with muddled fruit as opposed to liqueurs using top shelf bourbon. We started off with their signature Potato soup and I had the "soup of the moment" which happened to be steak and potato. Absolutely fresh and delicious. We had the NY strip and Filet Mignon as entrees which were cooked to perfection and paired with their "Smashed Potatoes". I would be remiss if I did notention the warm welcome we received when being seated at the lakefront tables. Our server was Amber and she was so very friendly and informative. She was very attentive and we never wanted for anything. A real class act. We will be going again and I highly recommend.

    What a lovely evening we had. We've frequented Memorytown for over 30 years and it's truly remarkable the difference in the Tavern. It has to be seen to believe. Everything was perfect from the wait staff, the food and the ambience. We shared a ceaser salad, possibly the best I've ever had, we both had the chicken, again super delicious, moist yet crispy, and the smashed potatoes were to die for. This is our new favorite restaurant, so much better than The Chop House. The service was great, granted it wasn't crowded but our waitress was attentive without being annoying and we were thanked for coming in by the guy behind the bar. The prices were fair and reflected the product. I will definitely encourage all my friends to give it a try.

    The baked potato soup and the crispy half chicken were delicious. The waitstaff were great. My ahi tuna was ok, the bok Choi I subbed was really good. I would say stick with more traditional meals bc those were fantastic. Also, I was sad there were no specials.

    This restaurant was a lovely surprise. I’ve been going to the Poconos for years, and I knew about Memory Town,, but I didn’t know there was a restaurant there. I found it online and it lived up to all of the good reviews. It’s a beautiful restaurant, with a lovely fireplace and very nice ambiance. The bar is gorgeous. The staff was very nice and attentive, and the food was delicious. We definitely will be coming back here again!

    Food was very good and priced appropriately. I would recommend this restaurant when traveling in the area. Location was a bit obscure. It was dark and could not see any signage. Had to walk up to front door where there was a menu taped to the door with the restaurant name.

    The food was delicious. Parmesan Risotto excellent. Our waiter was exceptional, extremely attentive, professional and friendly. However we waited FOREVER for our food! And I had to have them reheat my plate because my food was cold when it came out. Definitely need more help in the kitchen. But I did enjoy the meal.

    Everybody was friendly and welcoming, and the lake was a lovely view. That’s about it for the positives. The negatives: the kitchen was glacially slow and the food it produced was subpar to say the least. Overcooked mussels in a tomato / butter sauce that just did not work. Tuna tartar that was soggy and tasteless. Rubbery and underseasoned monkfish. Duck and accompanying risotto were fine, as was one kid’s order of chicken fingers (although messing up kid’s chicken fingers would surely be difficult to do). Definitely did not live up to the OpenTable rating.

    Went on a Saturday, two couples. First impression was the authentic rustic look. Open space with just enough lighting, nice layout, long windows looking out over the lake, which we only glimpsed as it grew dark, but then spots of colored lights showed up making it pleasant and fun to look out on. When we sat down, next thing we realized was the music (single guitarist/singer) was just loud enough that we had to shout to each other. This is the only reason for my 4-stars. The performer was good and had a nice repertoire, but we all agreed the volume was just outside our comfort range. To a person, the staff were extraordinarily attentive and solicitous, several of them checking in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were happy with everything. Our server was especially pleasant and eager to please us. And finally, the food - overall outstanding! All four of us, and we are very seasoned diners, declared our meals excellent in every way. We only did entrees. They were: Steak Seared Ahi Tuna Steak; Roasted Half Chicken; and Prince Edward Isle Mussels. Our sides included roasted broccoli and carrots, and caramelized Brussel sprouts. We can't wait to go back and try the rest of their offerings.

    Pretty place, high ceilings, beautiful bar and fireplace, probably great water views in daytime. Service a little slow, we expect and don't mind that in understaffed covid world. Roasted chickpeas brought out gratis with cocktails, very good. Mac n Cheese appetizer, rich, creamy, delicious, Summer Bounty Salad, very good, fresh ingredients, light vinaigrette , only fault, I think corn was canned/frozen. A Summer Bounty Salad ought to have fresh corn, and grilled corn add a great flavor. Special Bouillabaisse Entree was $39!!, great broth flavor, lotsa bones in the bass and overcooked lobster tails and shrimp, scallops perfect. Salmon was sauteed perfectly, crispy edges, sat on chickpea salad which was quite spicy from sriracha(did not see that on menu). Owner was very helpful with a beer selection. Will go back and try other menu items
