    Very cold. Had to eat with a coat on indoors. Tuna was great but the wine didn’t arrive until the entrees were almost gone. Very small but tasty appetizers.

    The food was phenomenal! One of the best wine lists I’ve seen. The ambience was next level especially with the history and age of the tavern. A must visit.

    Everything was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. The oysters were extremely fresh and tasty. The creme brulee has just the right amount of pumpkin flavor that it wasn't overpowering.
