    Pre-pandemic the food was better. Now it's a place nobody goes to any more.

    Walking into the Red Tavern, you feel like you're in an eastern European city. I started off with the Borsch (beef, cabbage, and beet soup). Delicious and hearty. For my entree I selected the Beef Stroganoff served in a mini crock. Creamy with mushrooms and beef, covered by a flaky dough crust. Comes with kasha (buckwheat). Another hearty, tasty dish.

    Hard to judge the ambiance as we were there very early on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. However the atmosphere was delightful. It’s just as you would imagine a Russian tea room would be. The staff was friendly and helpful choosing unfamiliar dishes. The smoked fish bellinis were delicious and the stuffed cabbage reminded my husband of his grandmother’s. All in all a very good experience.

    A quaint little restaurant near some other great shops and areas to walk, and easy access from public transportation. The portions are small, but delicious and fresh. And the bread that is served before your meal is also very, very tasty. We didn't have dessert, but from what I saw at other tables, it looked really delicious and I hope to go back and try them!
