Light Horse Tavern has a very respectable vintage, cozy, and inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed the Steak Cobb Salad and the LHBurger, both were delicious! The staff was professional and knowledgeable.
August 2025
Loved the ambience- felt like an old time neighborhood bar restaurant. The food was delicious- our burratta peach prosciutto salad to our lemon risotto and hangar steak and lobster roll! Service was excellent too.
July 2025
The service has not been really efficient, it has been slow without a lot of smile. The apetizer with the lobster wonton didn't taste at all. We asked if the mimoza does contain fresh orange juice, the answer was Yes it is but it was not. The lobster rolls is not the Best ones we had.
