    Town Tavern is a favorite. Lucious food. Our waitress was very unfamiliar with the food, wine and beer selection. (We had to point to each item on the menu. ☺️) But she had a nice smile.

    First visit; we'll definitely return. Service was excellent. Food definitely exceeded our expectations, especially the Lemon Thyme chicken. Town Tavern is very popular with families, so be prepared to "share" the experience. Having all the kids around also increased the noise level. Next time, we'll plan to go much later in the evening.

    The food and service were both good. The background music could have been lower.

    I've only been there a couple of times, but I've always enjoyed my meals at the Town Tavern. And tonight was no exception, the meal was great, and the service was excellent!

    We needed quick service for one of our party and Town Tavern really took care of us. And the food was really good. Good, varied dishes, friendly service, fair prices, and enough nearby on-street free parking - What’s not to like?

    Have been a few times now. Food and ambience are great. Parking is hard to find and the restaurant isalways so loud you can barely hear your party. Thought it was just 1 room that was noisy but Saturday night the room had 3 tables of 4 and still had to lean across the table to hear each other.

    A new tavern to add to our list of favorites. Great service and delicious food. Something for everyone and even vegan options. Impressive presentations. Large drink list. A must visit if you are tired of the same old “bar food’!
