I hosted my engagement party at Tavern 61, and I truly could not have picked a better place. The food was absolutely delicious—every single dish was a hit with our guests. The owner was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating to all of our needs, which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. It has the perfect balance of elegance and romance, with a modern touch, while still giving you that classic Italian restaurant feel. The photos and décor add so much warmth and tradition without feeling outdated. It created the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration.
I’m so grateful for how everything turned out. I highly recommend Tavern 61 for any special event—or even just a great meal. Truly an amazing experience

Visiting from Atlanta... AMAZING... Not only were Karen, the bartender, and Dominic, the owner, great... but even the patrons were great. Food was delish. Service was awesome. Ambiance made it look like I was gonna spend a lot of money. Normal prices for this type of environment. 10 out of 10 !!!

Great place to eat and have a drink with an elevated look and feel! Staff are very attentive. Food is excellent with great menu options. Bartenders are super friendly and really know how to make their cocktails (highlight of the night, dirty martini). Owner is extremely welcoming. The building and aesthetics are modern. Parking on premises makes it easy to come here and enjoy. Definitely recommend this establishment!

Came for a real estate networking meeting. Was pleasantly greeted when I entered and the bar staff were friendly and took very good care of our group. The food that I saw others eating looked tasty. Hopefully I'll get to try some on my next visit.

Cute spot with really good food and delicious drinks! We had the chicken sandwich and the lobster ravioli. The portions were big but manageable. The bartender and other staff were also really nice!

Usually this place (both food and service) is amazing.
However, today I came here for lunch and my experience was less than pleasant. I work across the street and came in for lunch, the place was not busy yet I Waited 40 minutes for my lunch. By the time the food came, I had to just take it to go as I spent my whole lunch break waiting for my flatbread to come out. So beware of that if you’re coming here on your lunch break. Also, the soda is always flat.
