Bar staff is good and friendly but the food is just not good. Burger was greasy and the fries es undercooked. I really wanted to love it but sadly I'm disappointed and won't likely go back.

We ordered appetizers and entrees and are server must have thought we wanted everything out at the same time. Weird. This has never happened to me. The manager comped one of the appetizers which was nice. My black and blue burger was a little too black (like almost burnt) but was still somewhat medium. Some of the chicken wings were raw when bit into. It's very noisy sitting under the tv's and if you want to watch I guess you have to call and ask to reserve that area. I had a reservation but was told they were all taken. Busy spot. I hope they can continue to get it together.

Best service imaginable from the extremely beautiful Marin! Her smile brightens the entire restaurant! I believe she serves and bartends, so go give her a visit! Best chicken tenders in the area, and the salmon bowl changed my life. So delicious! Great atmosphere with plenty of TVs for the sports junkie in the family, but the place is not centered around the TVs. Certainly worth a visit for anyone in the area!

We had a very nice meal at 83 Tavern. It's definitely on our “return to“ list. We were promptly greeted by our friendly server. She explained the rather complex set of specials currently available. We ordered the crabcakes, fish, tacos, and fried fish, and all were served, hot and crispy and tasty. Our server kept our soft drinks filled. So, high marks for service and food. The restaurant however, is very noisy. This is in spite of the fact that it was not a busy night. If the weather was a slightest bit warmer, we would've sat outside, which would really have improved that issue. Finally, I wouldn't say the restaurant is overpriced, but the bill came in higher than what I would've expected for what we ordered.  That's not a complaint, just an observation. As I said, we are looking forward to going again.

Fun atmosphere, great service! The ahi tua bowl was good, could have used more ahi. Chicken tenders were over cooked , but the Crispy chicken salad seemed to be a hit!

The staff was great, from the beginning reception to wait staff. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and remembered everything we ordered. I had pork tacos and must say they were the best I've had in a while. Would order them again. The chicken salad was great and the fish and chips were very good. I definitely would recommend it.

Great atmosphere, cozy and comfortable. Staff was great!! Bar/lounge area is comfortable. Happy hour menu was great. We got the hamburger eggrolls. The fish and chips was a good size portion of tasty fish. The salad was large enough to share. The drinks were just strong enough, made well. We'll definitely return.

This place is a hidden gem - atmosphere is really terrific and the staff is great- we have been a couple of times and I must say, I think their burgers are the best!!

Peter

Great experience. The food and service were great. The kitchen was backed up, but the manager made it worth our while!

Barbara

The food and service was excellent. My only request would be that there were more offerings that were not heavily fried. I did not find the menu easy to select from for a healthy choice.

This place is awesome & has the absolute BEST chicken salad in town. They use organic chicken & whatever they marinate it in is divine.

The restaurant was full of smoke. Opening windows did not help. We ordered biscuits as an appetizer and when we asked if they were coming out soon we were told they were out of biscuits. Dinner was served without the Asian slaw, they were out of that too, no offer of a substitute, no notice when ordering that they were out. Cute venue but overall disappointed.

Nancy

It was way too smoky in the restaurant from an issue in the kitchen. We moved outside due to the smoke. The heater kept turning off. The food was a bit overcooked. The wait staff and hostess were super nice but it just wasn't as good as we hoped it would be.
