Franz pays special attention to the small details. I love the makeover and the bar is one of my favorites. They don’t have my favorite beer selection but I still love it.

Service was phenomenal, always keeping our drinks refreshed. Wife had the short ribs and was so tender and flavorful. I had the prime rib and it could have been a little more tender than it was but the flavor was great. The French kiss salad is enough to split and one of the freshest salads I have had in a long time. Highly recommend !

We didn't like the crab cakes, the inside was very soft. The French onion soup was a bowl of onions very little broth. cheese was not thoroughly melted. Otherwise it was very enjoyable.

The atmosphere is breathtaking with fabulous new decor and remodeling in the restaurant area. Our waitress, Lexi, was adorable, attentive, and so sweet! The manager, Brad, and hotel owner, Franz, checked on us regularly! The food was delicious! We all could have eaten ten plates of the cauliflower bites! Overall, we all had a spectacular experience at 56 Tavern, and will be dining there again in the near future❤️❤️❤️
