    We adored our brunch thanks to our server, Alana! She made the best recommendations and was super attentive. We left our credit card on the table as we left, and she kindly called us back for it! Food was delicious, as were cocktails and desserts! We can’t wait to come back.

    Seated quickly and where we requested. Cocktails and food were excellent! Scallop app was SO flavorful. They were extremely busy but bar staff was moving really fast. Our server was just a little “cooler” than we are used to in the tavern. But service was good overall and I’ll chalk it up to maybe she had something personal going on. Other bar staff were all warm and friendly, even amidst the organized chaos of the incredibly busy night. We love the Tavern and I’m sure it will continue to to be our favorite dinner spot!

    it was a wonderful evening. The food, service and atmosphere was just excellent! We had a big party and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate and everyone was professional and personable and food was absolutely delicious. We have several family members who have gluten issues and majority of dishes can be made to accommodate which is amazing at an Italian restaurant. I can't say enough, it was a wonderful night had by all! Thank you, Mike's Italian Kitchen!
