    First time sitting in the tavern, usually eat in the main diningroom. Tavern very noisy. Not sure if this is the norm as there was a Christmas party at the next table. The food was delicious. Will difinitely be back

    I a bacon cheeseburger that was better than I expected. Washed it down with a vanilla milkshake. My daughter got the grilled cheese and she liked it . She considers herself a bit of a grilled cheese connoisseur. We came two Wednesdays before Christmas and the place was jam-packed but it was a great atmosphere and the decorations are splendid. It seemed like everyone who stepped through the door was immediately in a joyous mood. I guess it’s the ambience of the place.

    We had a great waitress named Nicole who not only took great care of the orders, food, and drinks- but also helped us by making paper numbers for our white elephant holiday gift exchange! She went the extra mile, was professional and personable.

    This was basically a nice experience . It was basically empty when we got there but soon became extremely busy and loud so not as relaxing as we had hoped:) Don’t like that they automatically add 20 % tip to bill and then think you should give more??? For just 2 people!! Large group yes but 2? We are usually good tippers so if they had given us the chance the waitress probably would have gotten a bigger tip but adding right away as you bring the bill … NO Thank you!! Doubt we will return even though the cinnamon rolls were amazing !!
