1710 Tavern is a charming restaurant with a neat old building that offers a fine dining experience with good, fresh ingredients. The crabcakes are a must-try, reminiscent of homemade family recipes with classic seasonings. The she crab soup is exceptional, and the duck dish is enjoyable. The atmosphere and service are good, and the restaurant is kid-friendly. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food justifies it. The outdoor seating area is lovely, and the parking is convenient. The menu offers a variety of options, from crab hush puppies to lamb lollipops, all of which are delicious. The steaks are perfectly cooked, and the short rib is flavorful. The dessert selection, like the carrot cake and crème brûlée, is delightful. The full bar serves excellent drinks, such as the Smokey old fashion and the prickly pear margaritas. The staff and owners are friendly, making the overall dining experience enjoyable.
