Second time visiting. I will say I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have soup on the menu. I visited a couple years ago and I had the best asparagus soup I’ve ever had. I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. 😩However, aside from that little blip, the service was amazing, food was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. Will be back for sure.

Everything was great here. Starting with the service. No waiting for waitstaff; muliple vists by all the servers. Even the proprietor touched base several times. The drinks were well made with top shelf ingredients. The food was intriguing, chef used imaginative combinations. I had the 4th Street Burger and Street Corn (outstanding) and my wife had the 205 Wedge Salad (what a great surprise). The ambiance was just what my wife and i were looking for; and the setlist was killer too. We will be back. Awsome night. Thanks

I hate to post this because the tavern is small . . . But my husband and I had a truly fantastic meal there. The best we had in the area. Focacia, out of this world. Grilled salmon on salad, outstanding. Tenderloin on wedge salad, delicious. We arrived right before they opened. Good thing. They filled up immediately.

The best Focaccia, the miso butter and olive tapenade make it a must have. Great food quality and service. Our favorite place to eat in highlands.

Great gastro pub with fantastic ambience. The tuna tartare is spot on if your into local beers this is the place. It stays busy so get there early.

Stopped in for supper, had a short wait, and we were seated at the end of the bar. We were quickly greeted and settled in. Then things got bizarre. The guy who came and stood next to us was refused service. Then it seemed our order got lost, or dropped in the kitchen. After waiting a bit longer it arrived and was tasty. We ordered the main course, it arrived, and was a hot mess. So its a place to go to start out, socialize, and enjoy the crowd. Many of the entrees seemed to be bizarre creations.
Must be great as was packed at 5 o’clock on a Monday. Will never know due to wait list train wreck. Was promised a call when table was ready, two hours later…nothing. Happened to catch the guy outside on the way back to the car only to learn we had been crossed off the list. Claimed he called, if I am being charitable maybe he wrote my phone number down wrong, in any event, no call. Don’t leave to walk town if they put you on a wait list, stay there and give him the ojo…

We learned about Highlands Tavern while researching different places to eat to accommodate my food allergies. We were in Highlands leading into the July 4th holiday. We ate here twice, and it was very good each time. The menu has a good variety of options, and the team will do their best to accommodate requests. We had great service and wonderful conversations with the team and chef. There is no fluff and puff about the place. It's local owned and operated by a seasoned team and feels like our local watering hole back home. We sat at the bar both times and could not have been more pleased with our meals. The first visit was the Sunday night before July 4th, and we went late evening. That Sunday, we learned on our second visit, was the best day for the restaurant since the start of the year. It resulted in several items on the menu running out. While some patrons were irritated, we did not mind a bit. We had a great meal, and the chef did her level best, and succeeded I might add, to accommodate my food allergies with a limited menu. When we returned on July 1st, we went a bit earlier and knew with it being midweek, there may not be as many folks. Again, had a short wait for the bar - no biggy for us as we prefer sitting at the bar in a small place. This time we were able to get the tuna tartare (YUM) and saw the focaccia special which looked wonderful but HUGE. Again, the chef created a dish specific to my food allergies and OMG it was freaking amazing. I could not finish it all and had it for dinner the next day once we returned home. Still as good as the night before. Ryan (owner), Tim and Michael (barkeeps) Kenny (skinny guy running around), Vicki (kitchen) and the AMAZING Chef Kimmie are such a fantastic team. Not sure when we'll get back over to Highlands but when we do, we hope to these folks are still there serving up great food, great conversations, and great atmosphere. THANK YOU!!

Finally tried the Tavern tonight and am already thinking about my next visit! The menu was eclectic and had a fantastic selection. We started with the Foccacia and it was perfectly baked and seasoned and came with a miso butter and something like an olive tapenade. Big enough to share with our neighbors:) I had the green curry with lemongrass chicken and it was rich and packed with all the goodness a curry should have. The hubby had the steak sandwich and the steak was tender and the toppings just made it so tasty. Dessert- if there’s creme brûlée i have to have it. Tonight’s special was a salted caramel and it was perfection. If you go, try the smoky and the bandit cocktail. The presentation was crazy and the taste…well…I limited myself to one..I could have drank these all night. Lol. 10/10 recommend!
