Tavern in the Square Cranston

Food was good but when I made the reservation I noted it was for a birthday and no one was aware of it. We decided not to order desert but it didn't seem like anyone was aware of it or even made an effort to see who in our party was celebrating a birthday.

Table ready and tuxked out of the way so conversation possible. Thank you for making a 21st birthday special!

Recently I had their steak and avocado salad. I've had this dish here for a while now...and a few changes have occurred. They used to give you half of an avocado with the salad, this time, the slices of avocado were tiny. The steak was a bit tough but nicely charred on the outside. The veggies, beans and lettuce were all fresh. My server was very smiley and sweet. One thing that I would like for the restaurant to change is the flow of water in the restroom sinks. The water comes as a tiny weak spray and it takes a long time to get hands properly washed...I am all for environmental choices, but the water flow is just below standard. A bit of an inconvenience.

Nice place for casual lunch or dinner. Reservation was on time and service was great. Nice variety of different style dishes. Will be back.

Always get good service when we go, and our server was the perfect amount of attentive without hovering. She has a great smile to boot. It is loud in there often but thats not a lot the restaurant can control.

We were a party of 20 and they did a great job getting all the food at the same time with no issues. Service was as great. Will definitely go back.

We were seated right away and our sever Ben was very friendly and attentive. We got fried pickle chips, garlic Parmesan chicken tenders and a salmon bowl. Everything was delicious.

Ordered medium rare steak tips. They were very grainy and tough. Our server never came back to check how anything was so I ended up eating them but almost choked on them they were so tough. I did eat them because the server was nowhere to be found and we needed to get to a function but when I told him how bad they were ( just to let him know as he is the one who suggested them) he said “ rare and medium rare steak tips are always tough. If you ordered them medium or medium welll even, they would have been better because they're more tender but I don't like to tell people how to order their food. Really??? I mean everyone knows ( aside from him apparently ) that the more you cook them the tougher they would have been. No apologies , no “ you should have let me know”. Nothing. The Caesar salad was pretty good , as were the potatoes but both orders of steak tips were disgusting and very disappointing. Waste of money.

Nothing extraordinary, the food was okay. The French toast was tough to chew. The eggs benedict was ice cold like it came out of the fridge. Maybe that's the way they prepare it, it just seemed very different from other restaurants. The server was great and it had a good atmosphere.

I have to give major props to the staff. They kept up excellent service during a bad storm that wiped out the power. Generators kept the lighting dimmed but we received our food before the power went out and they still acted very professionally. The food was excellent! Bravo!

Great service and food. Everyone enjoyed their meals and still had enough for leftovers the next day!!

Food was better than expected. It was not busy at all especially for a Monday night. We were a party of 7 celebrating my sons high school graduation. He wanted mac and cheese and a big thumbs up from him. I had the steakburger. Cooked well and for the most part overall not bad. By saying 'not bad' it makes it seems worse than it actually was. It was neither great nor terrible. Nothing memorable nor regretful. It was alright. The parmesan fries were ok too. Again, not terrible nor great. An "OK+" grade. The service was...lacking. Waiter was virtually nonexistent and slow, probably wasted about 45 minutes waiting for our check. Just didnt seem attentive as we kept looking around for more drinks, a desert menu, just seemed a bit too lax. Noise level not great. Acoustics were terrible, too echoey, had a hard time hearing people in our party and it wasnt that busy. It was nice set up and looked like it could service a lot of people, just dont expect fast service nor amazing food, nor ability to hear your dinner company. I would go again, it wasn't a bad place, just noisy and plain jane flavored food.

Food was very good. Very noisy. Server was terrible, never brought water to table. Left menus on the table thru entire stay and did not check on us after food was delivered by another server.

The bowls with rice are tasteless The chicken avocado is very good The broccoli appetizer good Drinks good

The people were friendly. My entree was delivered half cold half warm, as if it were reheated in a microwave.
