A landmark experience. A dining and drinking destination. A historic tradition. Since its inception, the Kaufman House has been a gathering place for travelers, neighbors and friends. Today, Kaufman Tavern continues and updates the tradition, providing a warm welcome, restorative libations and a fun, comfortable, exquisite dining experience. The food is the real star here: a top-notch, scratch-made, local, eco-friendly and--most importantly--delicious dining experience. Our menu reflects the best of the US and the bounty of our region. Cajun and creole. Northern and Southern. The East and West coasts and beyond. This is hand made, lovingly crafted, just plain good food. Kaufman Tavern is new American cuisine at its finest.

Review summary

Kaufman Tavern is a delightful dining destination, celebrated for its "excellent food and service" and "great atmosphere." Its diverse menu, featuring standout dishes like crab cakes and espresso-rubbed filet, never disappoints. While the bar area is lively, quieter dining options are available. Reservations are recommended for this popular, historic venue.

    We are never disappointed dining here. The food was excellent as always, and the service was top notch. The only drawback was the noise level. It was so loud that we could barely converse. Granted it was Friday night and people were letting off a little steam, but in the future I think we will stick to mid week nights when it is less crowded.

    We had great service when we stopped by for Sunday brunch. Overall the food was good. The homemade andouille sausage patty on the breakfast sandwich was overcooked and dry, which was disappointing but flavorful.

    Restaurant was very busy and noisy when we arrived. We had to wait a bit before being seated, but our server greeted us promptly and took our drink order. We placed our dinner order when she came with the drinks. Our appetizer didn’t come until we were nearly finished with our salads. We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times and have always been happy. The food is very good and reasonably priced. I think on this night the kitchen was under staffed and couldn’t handle the number of people there.

    Nice drinks at the bar in a fun atmosphere upstairs. Ate downstairs which is quieter but that suited us. Excellent service. Great food, good interesting menu of classics. First time, we will return.

    The food is great. Had the shrimp and grits excellent. My date had the crab cakes. Excellent as well. I’ve been there many times. Always had a great meal. Service was also very good. Make a reservation for weekends it gets busy.

    Love to come to Kaufman’s after attending a musical at the Strand. Wait Staff is always kind and attentive and the decor is beautiful. I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve had.
