Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

Menu items and restaurant week offerings were varied and appealing. Service was prompt and attentive. Brussels sprouts were tasty but a little heavy on the bacon and cheese. Salmon entrée was good, and meatball appetizer tasty albeit a bit overly sauced. Dessert Blondie was a delicious highlight and carrot cake was pretty good, but mild.

Happen to make a reservation on the day of The Polar Bear Plunge, it was crazy busy and would have been an easy excuse for the restaurant to fall short on food or service…they more than delivered on both. The hostess started the experience off with such a welcoming altitude and even recommended a dish, the fried rice and according to my husband it did not dissapoint. The shrimp on my street corn salad were possibly the best shrimp I have ever hand anywhere and that is a very bold statement. We live in Pawleys and will definitely be back.
