| About: | In an ideal world, every neighborhood would have a tavern like this. Set in a lovely old two-story home on a quiet tree-lined street, its two wood-paneled bars brim with hospitality, and its two dining rooms, an intimate non-smoking room with bare stone walls and a larger room designed like an indoor gazebo serve first-rate meals. The bars offer a free buffet from 5p-7p weekdays and the kitchen's seafood specialties, such as Mahi-mahi topped with Lump Crab meat are both creative and flavorful. |

I came here with my brother once and had a few drinks. It's a nice, quaint tavern. It has a couple of levels and looks like it would be money for parties. The neighborhood in which it is located is very quiet and looks like something from a Steinbeck novel. Good food, also, complements the drink selection.
Good looks- ok food: I have heard a lot about this place and went and met a friend for brunch on Mother's Day. I loved the look of the place and the atmosphere- mainly the main dining room where the roof opens up. However I wasn't very impressed with the food.
I got the Eggs Norfolk- Poached eggs with Smithfield ham and jumbo lumpcrab on an English muffin, topped with hollandias. The eggs could have been cooked more, the crab was very cold and the english muffin wasn't very good.
I am not sure if the the food wasn't its best because of the holiday and busyness. I guess I need to head back on a normal night and try it out.
eh: What the Tavern has going for it the best is its location and atmosphere. The food isn't bad, but it's certainly not great and overpriced for what you get. I've been pulled in on many occasions for the last 10 years or so and am constantly disappointed with the service. This is not the place to go if you like to be served once you sit down. If you don't mind waiting 20 minutes for your server to finish her cigarette break and finish chatting up the other wait staff then it's probably a good fit for you.
