I took my fiance here for Valentine's day. I had never been here before. The staff was amazing and attended to every need. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. I would recommend it to anyone.

We so enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner! The restaurant was fully decorated for Valentines Day, complete with candlelight and flowers at each table. Truly a sweet and romantic ambiance, and the food was, as always, over the top and down the block delicious!!

This has become our "go to" for a great dinner! Both as a family & just the 2 of us to sit at the chef's counter! A great birthday dinner for my husband this time!

Tavern on Kruse has such a great menu with a diverse collection of dishes that I am always sure to find something that I will love. But the Ahi Tuna Burger is the only thing that I have ever ordered. It is absolutely delicious, and the crispy avocado is a special surprise added to it. I hope that they never take this off the menu.
