    Such a nice lunch during small business Saturday shopping. Happy to support our local businesses. My salmon salad was outstanding as usual. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich which was a bit bland and the bread seemed a bit dry. Otherwise we enjoyed our lunch and Ian, our server was great!
    Wild Goose TavernResponded on December 21, 2024
    Hi Debbi, thank you so much for your great review! I apologize that the chicken salad sandwich wasn't the best, I'll make sure to pass the message on to our culinary team, but I'm so glad you enjoyed our Salmon Salad. Once again, we appreciate the great review and happy holidays!

    The wild goose Tavern was absolutely phenomenal. The buffet that was served on Thanksgiving day was unbeatable. The appetizer station was outstanding with the selection for Thanksgiving. They provided all the Thanksgiving favorites that would’ve been served if we had the dinner at our house. My wife and I and my mom were totally impressed. Making this a new family tradition. Thank you so much to the  chef and staff for an outstanding performance.

Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
