Food was excellent, Emma, our server, was prompt and personable. She checked in on us. It was really crowded & Very noisy. Our reservation was for 6 however one person could not come & it was best. With 5 people there was not enough room at our table for 6. It was very difficult to talk to anyone due to the noise. May wait until warm weather & can sit in the back patio.

Staffing too low, ended up leaving after 1 drink and an appetizer. Server was nice, just no one to support her. We waited 30 minutes for a cocktail. Place needs management support and additional staffing.

This was our first time dining at Worthington Tavern - and it will not be our last. Our server, Olivia, was amazing. Efficient and attentive without being overbearing. The food was so so good and the cocktails were top notch. We can’t wait to come back and try the other tasty options on the menu.

This was our second visit, first visit during Restaurant week. Very nice place, great food, nice bar selections, and good variaty of wines and beers offered. Food we prepared and very good, would recommend all menu items we tries (Meatball, Glazed ribs, Chicken Sandwich, Deluxe Beef Burger). We sat in the back patio area, nice and warm place to be, little bright with the afternoon sun at times, but all in all a great evening.

Where to begin?? Worthington Tavern is a phenomenal restaurant that I wouldn’t have thought of had it not been for #RestaurantWeek. Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Sean and I found our new place. The food was full-size portions - during Restaurant Week!!! The service was great. The atmosphere was wonderful. The music was good and not intrusive. What a good night!
