    We were squeezed into a small table for six when the dining room was wide open. Our original server was replaced by a secondary server and we never had a follow up visit or drink order. Love the atmosphere. The outdoor dining looked amazing. Very average dining experience.

    This was a really great place! It was the first time visiting; I was solo and it had a nice atmosphere and great service. The food was delicious; I had the Steak and Frites, steak was done perfectly. I also enjoyed the butterscotch pudding and cookie parfait. Pricing as expected. I would definitely return if in the area again!

    We really enjoy the food, but the service has not been great—unless you sit at the bar. The wait to just get drinks last night was 20 minutes. We could see the bartender checking multiple wine glasses (for spots?) and taking his time. He didn't seem to have any sense of urgency despite other patrons complaining about the time it took to get anything. Our server was very nice, but it took quite a while to get our food. And there is a manager who always seems irritated (and we go in regularly), and she makes things uncomfortable when she's working the hostess stand. However, all that said, we do enjoy the food and the patio is lovely.

    The food and drinks were very good. I ordered the waygu burger which was super delicious and cooked perfectly. We also had the wings and crispy orange ribs which both were juicy and flavorful. The ambience was nice and our waitress was great. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

    Good food. Slow service. Did not keep up with a steady dinner pace. Too long to take order. Too long for starters. Too long for main. Too long for check. About 2+ hr long dinner for 4 of us.

    I recently visited this restaurant on Saturday 4/22/2023 to enjoy dinner with a friend. This was the first time for each of us. The restaurant was packed and VERY loud and we had a hard time talking to each other due to the noise level, additionally, felt like we were sitting on top of other diners. Once we are sat by the hostess it took at least 15-20 minutes for our server to even greet us and bring water and another 15-20 minutes for her to return to take or order. My chicken sandwich was not correct as I had ordered it and I have no idea why because the server put it into her little computer. Finally, it took another 15-20 minutes after we finished to receive our checks...just overall very poor service...the food was decent but pricey on some items but the service is what killed our experience and makes us question if we would even return.

    Coming back for dinner! Easter brunch was lovely but might have considered a bit more subtle background music for a Sunday brunch vs. normal hard rock playlist.

    Always a great experience. Wish that we didn't end up in some of the oddest seats in the Tavern the past couple of visits, but we asked to be moved to a proper booth and all was well. The Gluten-Free menu selections are wonderful, and there are many options, which is fantastic. Sometimes the music choices really get to me, but oh well. Don't know the target audience for the music, but the bass is droning and monotonous. It's like a bad trendy night spot. Good for trendy night spot people, not so relaxing when you just want to relax and enjoy a good meal. But, you know, you just don't hear enough Boy George and Wham, these days. Overall, great food, weird atmosphere / terrible music, and some really odd seats/tables for those not having good luck.

    This is the third time we have been to Worthington Tavern. The first time was for brunch. We were very impressed with the food and service and anxious to come back. The second time we returned was for dinner during Restaurant Week. Overall we were disappointed with the experience. It took over 30 minutes to get our first course (French Onion Soup) and our second course arrived a short 4 minutes later. By the time we finished our soup, our main dish was cold. Based on our first experience, we let this negative visit go and chalked it up to being ill prepared for the buzz of restaurant week. This time, my husband and I returned for brunch with our dads. Unfortunately it was another disappointing experience. The blueberry lemon coffee cake lacked flavor and the cake was dry. The breakfast pizza was underwhelming as well. (Both off these dishes we had during our first visit and loved.) The hash browns served with our breakfast burrito didn’t even resemble potatoes. They were shaved so thin, fried to a crisp and lacked flavor. Unfortunately, it seems like our first experience was an outlier and we do not plan on returning any time in the near future.

    Food is good, service is good, happy hour is fine. However I've been there twice and both times it's been too loud to have a conversation of any kind. We had to shout the whole time. It's nice to see a lot of people enjoying themselves but the atmosphere isn't pleasant. I'm not an old fogie but I do want to be able to have a convo with my friends.

    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.
