The potatoes are caramelized with onions for a golden, savory richness that pairs beautifully with the beef, while the charred carrots add a touch of sweetness and texture. It's a classic steakhouse experience in Rockford that feels elevated but never overdone—just quality ingredients prepared with care. Great Portehouse steak! Highly REcommend

I wanted a local place for a bite of steak without breaking the bank. Tavern on Clark had a very reasonable lunch menu. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak Frites and my friend ordered the Blackened Chicken Salad. Both were very tasty, and we were pleased with the portion size. The beer/cocktail list was varied and reasonable. Excellent service. I'm sure others have mentioned the neighboring Tiger Tail Lounge. It did make for interesting conversation.

Our crock of French Onion soup was served just minutes before our main meal was served. I had the ribeye with topping of sautéed mushrooms. Mushrooms were way overdone and cool. Chef's choice vegetables were also just warm. We think our food set after plating for some time. Our waitress gave us a free dessert to make up for the issues but still left us with us with a less than desirable experience this time. We will try it again as we have always loved the food and service here.

We've never had a disappointing meal here and have gone Many times since they opened. Service is always prompt, friendly and attentive with a vibrant mix of ages and stages.. professionals, older groups that you know have met weekly or monthly for years, couples, families, etc. I especially enjoy the seared Ahi or Mussels for an appetizer, my husband claims it's The Best Reuben around, I try something different every time and never disappointed. I love the desserts as well, have tried them all! It's a convenient, easy location to get to, ample free parking. Sometimes though the music is too loud and echo's, that's my only down-side comment.

I had lobster tacos which were excellent. The lobster chunks were breaded and deep fried for extra texture.

This was our first time visiting and it was so good! The pasta dishes we had were fantastic along with the drinks and dessert. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. They were very busy on a Saturday night so you’ll want to plan accordingly with a reservation.
Just a great place to go. Friendliest staff, great food, excellent drinks and desserts!
