    Seated quickly and where we requested. Cocktails and food were excellent! Scallop app was SO flavorful. They were extremely busy but bar staff was moving really fast. Our server was just a little “cooler” than we are used to in the tavern. But service was good overall and I’ll chalk it up to maybe she had something personal going on. Other bar staff were all warm and friendly, even amidst the organized chaos of the incredibly busy night. We love the Tavern and I’m sure it will continue to to be our favorite dinner spot!

    Let me tell you. If you go here and get Chris chase! This dude is top notch. Never have I ever had a waiter as witty, Attentive, and funny as him. If you get him; you’re in for a wild adventure. As he is who he is! The ‘realist’ waiter you will ever get. If we could have him be our waiter at any restaurant we go to we would. This isn’t even really a UNO review. UNO’s is second. This is a Chris review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
