Burger was dry. Calamari was overcooked and sauce too spicy even though we asked for mild marinara

Terrible food and service. Trying to celebrate our 34th anniversary, but salmon was over cooked and looked like it was burnt and then scraped off. Manager said it looks fine to her and told us that if we want another it would take 45 minutes. This was 20 minutes after it was originally served. She just didn't care! I've never been to a restaurant that charges such high prices and has no pride in what is actually being served to a guest. We took two bites of it and asked for the check. No apologies, no offers to make it right, only feeble explanations of why everything was ok. I will not go back, even though the location is beautiful. I hope sharing this post helps someone avoid the mistake of eating at the Beach Tavern!

The entree sizes were below average but the prices are very high. You are obviously paying lot for the ambiance!

Ambiance is top notch just beautiful inside and out! Outstanding sushi! Perfect wine list. 10/10 overall experience!

Prices have skyrockets and quality has dropped. Tuna was not good quality. $8 for one shrimp on raw bar is outrageous.

One of my favorites! It never disappoints. The broccoli tempura is delicious. The sushi menu is better than most sushi restaurants. The atmosphere is gorgeous if you have a nice day! We'll be back

We've always been satisfied having dinner at Beach Tavern. But on this occasion the tuna dinner came out barely warm including the rice and vegetables. My Caesar salad came out missing the croutons and the chicken was cold. The dozen oysters were excellent. My crab cake was delicious even though the sauce was missing. We waited far too long to receive our food. The restaurant was out of bottled flat water and west coast oysters. It seems like the staff was overwhelmed.

Really want this restaurant to deliver but never does. Seated in the side room which is terribly noisy. Was also seated at a round table that is for 6 or more, we had 4. They didn't put the edges of the table down or remove the other chairs and place settings. Seemed like they were under staffed since our waited was hard to find. Will try eating at bar next time.

I like the main bar area and high tops. The space is bright and energetic, with fun views of the marina and water. There's a nice variety of food and drinks. It can get very loud, but it's good for simple conversation and sports viewing on the many TV screens.

Fun night. Good food, great sunset view, reasonable prices. Went for Wednesday Sushi Night. I'll be back!

The Beach Tavern never disappoints, and that's why we choose it for special occasions with our Family. Our server Christine was so great and patient with my family's late arrival. We were seated promptly on our arrival, but a few people in our party were running a little late. Not really, we arrived ten minutes early since we didn't hit any traffic. Christine brought us water and cocktails and waited patiently for the rest of our party. I appreciated her so very much. We started out with the West coast oysters which were ridiculously delicious 😋 and the Crab Louie, which was also so good. All the main courses were brought out promptly and were all so good. So much so, we didn't have room for desserts. We did however have room for espresso martinis. It was the perfect holiday lunch/dinner. Thanks for having us.

Spectacular. Happy Hour oysters for $1.25, great sushi, beautifully grilled salmon. Just perfect!

We went to Beach Tavern for their restaurant week menu. It was wonderful. The space is open and airy and you have a view of boats. We had delicious appetizers one delicious New England Clam chowder and 2 spicy tuna rolls. My friends had eggplant parmesean and spaghetti which were very generous portions. I had branding with fingerling parmesean potato's and a salad of arugula with tomato, capers and kalmata olives and a light dressing. We has dessert which was Tres Leche cake and was delicious. We would definitely recommend Beach Tavern

We went for restaurant week on Monday 3/31. The restaurant was quiet. The food was very good and great choices for the restaurant week menu. Not sure if I would go back for the regular menu as the prices were a bit high.

We ordered the restaurant week menu. The food was excellent. The bar was a bit backed up but the drinks were excellent once received. The pork chop and fried chicken were perfectly prepared. The nautical theme works well in the environment. The only knock is the sound level, which is loud. With a little sound absorbing material on the walls and ceiling, the experience would be flawless.
