We had a wonderful dinner here. The service was excellent and food delicious! We each had something different and loved it. We shared the meatballs, whipped ricotta and bread service - all of which were excellent.

White Horse Tavern provides consistently good food and service in a unique atmosphere. Two of us enjoyed the swordfish, but the scallop entree was even tastier. The colonial atmosphere adds to the charm and service is excellent.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch. Our server was great, the food was delicious, and the ambience was on point. We enjoyed seeing the staff in the spirit despite working. They seemed to genuinely appreciate their team.

Everything was spectacular, from the crab cakes to the center cut filet (I recommend the bourbon cream as the sauce). Service was great. We went two days before Christmas so it was not very crowded. Great place for a special occasion.
