My wife and I prefer pubs and usually shy away from "chain" type of restaurants. But our daughters are both big Tavern In the Square fans and they've gradually also convinced us as well. This particular location is our favorite despite there being one or two that are closer. This one is a solid 35-45 minute drive for us but it is well worth it. Visited a couple of times (plus once just for drinks at the bar). The staff are all so nice and the service we receive (we always request same server) is literally second to none. Food is very good and the portions are quite large - certainly enough to have a second meal at home. They really have an excellent bar selection too. I usually order bourbon and they have a lot of choices. We will continue to keep this place in our rotation.

There were only 2 of us and the orders were not elaborate but the service was excellent and the food was piping hot and delicious. Our waitress was available but not in our face and came over a minute or 2 after our food was delivered to ask how things were. Just the right amount of time. The restaurant was busy but we could easily hear each other talk. All was decorated nicely for the holidays. Great menu and plenty of by the glass wines.

Enjoyed my first time at Steel and Rye! Menu is a bit limited but the burger was delicious. Great martini and even better after dinner affogato. The place was warm, well lit and decorated tastefully for Christmas! Will be back 😃

Brassica Kitchen is one of our favorite Boston restaurants and tonight’s dinner was delicious. We brought friends who enjoyed their first B.K. meal.
