Food and service were mediocre to poor. No one was rude but not very friendly or attentive. We had to ask for napkins (we had none) and water refills multiple times because they kept forgetting. Food was barely edible and pricey. Would never return.

Great experience with my boyfriend for dinner. Our server Jill was very friendly and personable. The food was great. I recommend the fish & chips as well as the gluten free chocolate lava cake for those who are gluten sensitive and have a sweet tooth!

Summer is the best time of year at Gaetano’s Tavern on Main. The Soft Shell Crab, Fried Oysters and Whole Belly Clams are phenomenal. Or choose anything on the menu. You won’t be disappointed. Yum!
