The restaurant itself is very nicely designed and decorated and a good spot for date night or nice family dinner. Service was excellent. We ordered French onion soup, burgers, short ribs and crab cake.

The BEST Easter Brunch buffet! We had a later seating and the food was still abundant! Prime rib was excellent, so was the lamb. Many other dishes to sample. There was an omelette station. Excellent experience.

An incredibly cute place for a nice meal! We had just gone to the local German Christmas market and decided to pop in a randomly and so happy we did. Excellent service, selection, and again just a cute place overall. Ordered the hot portobello mushroom sandwich with sweet potato fries and everything was scrumptious.

A great, cozy spot lunch after a nice walk shopping around the village. Warm, casual atmosphere down at the Tavern. Not a huge or fancy menu but the meals are hearty and taste like they came out of your own kitchen. Great soups as well!

Went here for Father’s day brunch. The vents on the ceiling were dirty and looked like mold was on them. Waited for over forty minutes for our food and my chicken and waffles were cold. My brother ordered an omelet with cheddar, peppers and mushrooms and received an spinach, cheddar and mushroom omelet. My father ordered two eggs over easy with a side of bacon. His eggs were burnt and almost unedible. Only after we finished our meal did we recieve water. We will not be back, the food was not worth the wait
