    We had the duck and the surf & turf. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly! The meals were also hot served on a warm plate on a very cold night. They also serve warm bread with garlic and oil on the side that was very good. We'll be back!

    We booked our reservation to catch the very ornate Christmas decorations the restaurant sets up. The menu is classic Italian with a nice variety of drinks, wines, appetizers and entrées. We had the crab cakes Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Parmesan. The food was well prepared and delicious! The pastas are made fresh on site, which makes a wonderful difference. We closed out our meal with Creme Brulé and cappuccinos. A wonderful meal in a beautiful location

    My wife and I made a reservation after some research on the establishment. We expected this to be a very nice experience. We had no idea that our evening would be so special and memorable. We were seated on the second floor directly in front of the large fireplace. Our server was fantastic. He was courteous, prompt, attentive, and delightful to talk to. And then the food was served...... Wow! My complete compliments go to the chef. Absolutely delightful. Needless to say that if you are in the area, this is a must experience to believe stop. Yes, it may be a bit pricey, but completely worth every penny. Thank you to the entire staff of White Horse Tavern.
