We have had our family Christmas gathering there for 3 years. The food is fabulous and the service is great. If I lived closer I would definitely frequent this restaurant.

Lovely place!

Beautiful view and nice decor. Thanks giving buffet was fabulous. Only thing would have made the experience better was if employees wore uniforms so they could be more easily identified.

Wednesday Pasta night is the best. Had a terrific meal there this week. First of all, this place has been meticulously restored. The attention to detail is fantastic. And the food was excellent. Started with a tuna tartare taco and it was great. Generous portion. Then on to the pasta bar. So many choice made while you wait. And they encourage seconds and to go portions. Server could not have been nicer. Well worth it.

We had a baby shower brunch for my daughter last Sunday and I had to share what an amazing experience we had. Robert is so accommodating. We came up with a lovely menu together and the food was amazing! The room was beautiful and bright. The staff was great. I can't say enough good things!

The Tavern has excellent food, excellent drinks, a great wine list and a very capable staff. We first came here in July and have since returned two more times; our last visit was as a party of seven. We will be back soon. (Try their paella!)

We ate at the tavern bar. The service was outstanding. We had the Ahi Tuna and the handmade perogies. The drink recommendations and wine selections were excellent. Hopefully we can return soon!

Have to give this mixed reviews. The atmosphere is in need of a lot of updating and care. From the outside entrance needing landscaping to the inside tavern is dated and dark. There is a very small outside deck that would greatly benefit from a better view or a working water fountain.
The food is average. The crab cakes are fresh, but too many peppers; the lobster bisque is too watered down and over use of sherry; the Cesar salad was the best dish of the day fresh and lightly dressed.
The bar service is excellent! And lovely wine selection.
If they could invest in some well needed upgrades and possibly a rooftop deck this would be an amazing place for the area.

Don’t walk, RUN away from this restaurant! Oh boy just everything is wrong I don’t know how it has such high reviews. The building itself is a bit scary & spooky and the outside is so run down. We were the ONLY ones there for dinner. Everything in my body was like get us out of here but we stayed. I was afraid to eat the food because I thought we might get food poisoning. My chicken was definitely not safe to eat but I ate the lettuce & dressing that were fine. There were specks of other food on my daughter’s pasta and it was so expensive. The waitress was so nice but the experience was terrible. Not fancy and not what I sod call a real view of the ocean.

This is currently a restaurant as the upper floor where the guest rooms are is not yet open. The restaurant was amazing! I had the most incredible bowl of chicken chili and then pork tostadas that were delicious. My spouse had the tuna nachos and spinach salad with steak that was equally wonderful. The servings were as beautiful as they were delicious. Our server was great, attentive and helpful. The host was a lovely local woman who shared lots of interesting history about the building (incredible) and surrounding grounds. We ate in the dining room with a beautiful view of the ocean and romantic background music and peeped into the bar where there was live music and lots of folks having a good time. We highly recommend for a delicious and reasonably priced meal.

We went for lunch today, 6/3/25, and my wife and I were greeted by Robert. He was great! Robert was very friendly, but still professional, and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The only thing better than him was the food, we both agreed probably the best we’ve ever had, in a restaurant or anywhere else! It was absolutely delicious, fresh, perfectly cooked and completely affordable! Besides that, the dining room was large and roomy, and you can see the ocean right down the road. We’ll be going back again and again!

The staff was very accommodating for our large group event. Great communication prior to the day of as we came together from all over the country. The food was excellent and the room was perfect to accommodate 30 of us.
