Great food, great service. The chairs are so tall they leave your feet swinging which for a long relaxing lunch was not comfortable.

Food is definitely love language and Modena showed all the love! We accidentally found this restaurant after finishing up a Segway tour of DC & with quick cross referencing, we lucked up. We were intrigued from the outset. The restaurant was subtlety extravagant, service was tip-top as they were openly conversant about their offerings & our meal… Burrata, Bolognese Tagliatelle, Diver scallops w/ spring herb emulsion, Spicy crusted duck w/ rhubarb mostarda (chutney) & a show stopping parmesan cake w/ balsamic sorbet. We shall visit this place every time we’re in DC! -XOXO

We hadn't been to Liberty Tavern for brunch since 2020 and were delighted with how it has adapted to post-pandemic life. Instead of a buffet, our server brought unlimited small plates, from delicious salads, to eggs, avocado toast, tender sirloin, biscuits, and an assortment of desserts. We will definitely return.

Even though the 2 of us were really hungry, the bread and cheese ravioli, plus 2 drinks, was plenty for us. The cheese in the ravioli is very rich, but unbelievably delicious.

My bolognese pasta was over cooked but the sauce was great. Service was great and the outdoor area is well protected from sun.
