    This place is a hidden gem in plain sight. It is a small, non assuming place but they have consistent good food and friendly service. I largely appreciate the fact this place is local!

    The Grand Tavern never ceases to amaze and satisfy. Worth every penny. Menu changes every so often which is fun but the staples one might seek are likely to be present. Get an appetizer before the entrees. Always so good. Enjoy!

    Dining at The Grand Tavern is always a highlight for us. Sitting at the bar is a favorite, where we enjoy the perfect blend of ambiance—soft lighting, subtle music, and just enough lively chatter to make it cozy yet vibrant. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, while classics like the burger and pork chop are reliable staples we return to time and again. We make it a point to try a new appetizer each visit, and The Grand Tavern never disappoints. From innovative starters to thoughtfully crafted cocktails, every bite and sip feels like an experience. Wrapping up the meal with their featured dessert is a tradition we look forward to. While it's on the pricier side, the exceptional food, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service make it well worth it. It's one of our all-time favorite spots for a dinner date—a perfect mix of comfort and sophistication. Highly recommend!

    First time dining here, and it met up to all of the hype ! We ordered, and shared almost everything on the menu, and it was all AMAZING !! The attention to detail within their ingredients is second to none ! We will definitely be back !

    Food was outstanding. My husband said it was the best steak he has ever eaten. Super tender! I had salmon that was fantastic. It was piece of salmon over lentils, which were delicious, but a poor choice for a side. After two bites, I was over the lentils and wished for a vegetable or starch. The negatives: no bread, no salad. The only available option was to sit at the bar, the bartender wasn’t very friendly at all. For $250, I just expected a better overall experience. The main dishes were great, but the ambience and staff were lackluster!

    The food was excellent BUT service was quite slow and the noise level was over the top (it was very annoying).

    An unassuming gem of a find. You’ll feel like you found a hidden treasure and then it gets better. Exceptional food
