Im giving it a 4 star review because the service was not what I expected, the food was incredible . The waiter we got can’t really tell you his name because he did not introduced himself , also when I ordered my wine glass he was a bit critical because I was ordering the house wine which made no sense , he looked to be in a rushed to be over with us . Coming in to the restaurant was very nice the host was going to seat us inside but I believe the manager told her to seat us in the patio which I appreciated because it was a really nice vibe . I would definitely be back because the food was really good but I’m not going to expect a 5 star service .PS - we ordered something else but we didn’t get a change to take a pic of it .

Food always good but price. Ordered house wine- not so tasty. It had been opened a while and it was warm. Red wine is room temperature. Which means cellar temperature

Food was solidly good, but nothing was super special about it. Their drinks are alright. The gnocchi short rib fish was super tender but nothing unique about their sauce for that or for the meatball appetizer. Their bread with the meatball appetizer was stale and gross. For the tiramisu - way too creamy. Definitely needed an extra ladyfingers, but honestly I feel like even with an extra one it would still be mid. Get literally any other dessert here. If you want tiramisu, go to a grocery store or the other place with tiramisu down the street - it'll be better than what you get here as Taverna's tiramisu definitely doesn't satisfy any tiramisu cravings.

Hostess needs to work on her attitude sick of it second time I get here and this unwelcoming attitude is present, I get stared at with a pout look, I made the unfortunate mistake of asking "how are you" and got no reply so I left and sat at the bar. Alyssa is her name apparently. Fed up with it get someone with a lively enjoyable presence that makes you feel welcome. Food is fantastic, bartenders fantastic, hostess SUCKS.

We sat at the bar and had their antipasto Emiliano dish. It came out with a big bunch of grapes that were all squishy and overripe. It came with two cheeses one of which was unedible. It came with three meats one of which was a greasy salami. One of the others I have no idea what it was but it tasted like bologna and I've never seen it on a meat and cheese tray before. We took a small to-go box home but we left the bologna meat and the unedible cheese. The prosciutto, the bread and the parmesan cheese was terrific and they did bring us really good strawberries to compensate for the extremely overripe grapes but overall I would not order this item again

taverna burger medium wagy- meat was dry, had no taste with some arugula & burned onion on top ? and fake cheese. bronzino fish had bones, water was just tap water with not good taste, for their price they could give bottled water. french fries were not fresh cut potato but like in cheap $1 places frozen "empty" french fries . i don't recommend this place, don't waste ur money.

The Taverna restaurant impresses with excellent service, exquisite cuisine, and a cozy atmosphere. The dishes are prepared with exceptional skill, and the service is top-notch. Definitely recommend for those who appreciate an outstanding dining experience.
Everything was great up until service took our plates and didn't ask if we were done and didn't ask if we wanted our food boxes to go. Other than that; we always love it here and never have had issues except this one time.

I had high hopes coming into my visit. While waiting on my friends to arrive for dinner, I sat at the bar, requesting a taste of a Pinot Noir on the menu, they finally come back and tell me it's unavailable and get me a glass for another Pinot Noir. Little did know that glass was almost $22 for a 6 ounce pour. Fast forward to dinner...my girlfriend orders salmon and asks to have it cooked well. She gets her plate, cuts into the middle and it's beyond raw. I request the manager who couldn't care less and offers to take it to the kitchens. He brings it back and it's absolutely scorched and beyond dried out. 10 minutes later the fix is still steaming and appeared to come out of a forest fire. I call the manager over again, make him aware and his response is nothing more than OK! A minute later our tabs are given to us without a care. Overpriced, undercooked, not in stock and horrible experience!! Save. Your. Money.

We always have a good time at Taverna, but this Sunday topped them all, all because of Devin. Devin was a great server, our glasses were never empty, he was always there if we needed anything and to top it all off, he sang happy birthday to my friend in ITALIAN!!!! Our table wanted to talk to the manager about how great the experience was, but the manager didn't seem to care and walked away from us as fast as possible, dismissing anything we had to say. If you go to Taverna and Devin is your waiter, you will deffinately have a great experience!

Shrimp risotto was so good! Focaccia bread was delicious. Huge wine selection. Recommend getting reservations!

I decided to finally give this place a try although I has previously passed it on numerous occasions. *To be honest, the gf was the one that wanted to go.My thoughts:- Typical West Legacy type of vibes in there when we first walked in. I felt that our server when he first came to the table quickly scanned me to try and figure out what my net worth was so that he could tailor his service accordingly. First Red flag.- I ordered their orange vanilla french toast and it came with very little syrup on the French toast (see picture). I don't think you should drown your French toast in syrup but at least give your customer an option to add more syrup if deemed necessary. But of course the server never asked..- The French toast was undercooked and gooey in the middle (see picture. zoom and you will see). Like come on people who messes up French toast??- I did not bother to ask for more syrup or complain about the undercooked French toast. I was not in the mood. Just wanted to pay and keep it moving knowing that I will never be back here or recommend this spot to anyone else.- To their credit gf's plate (Eggs any style) was fresh and we had no complaints there. We also got some seasoned bread when we initially sat at our table with what I think was a pesto infused olive oil.I wanted to leave this place with a Viva Italia sort of feeling but... again why would an Italian restaurant be called Taverna when Ταβέρνα is an Integral part of Greek food culture and not necessarily Italian..The 3 star rating is a very generous one.
