    We had a wonderful birthday celebration lunch at Tousey House Tavern for the third year in a row. We received a warm welcome from the hostess and were promptly seated at the table I had requested by the window. Our server was outstanding and didn’t miss a beat throughout the meal which was delicious as always. We love the historic ambiance, white linen tablecloths and napkins, and fresh flowers on the table. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the near future!

    Tourney House tavern is a historic spot for a great meal. The menu selection was excellent and the overall food was good. The service was good overall, but the waiter did accidentally spill a drink on someone in our party, and did not offer to over the cost of the drink or any other item not the bill. Overall the experience was good and I would go back for a nice dinner!

    The atmosphere is cozy and somewhat elegant with tablecloths, cloth napkins and a bud vase. The setting is an historic house with two fireplaces and tall windows. The pricing is mid to high. The menu is limited if you are diabetic but they have great grilled chicken salad. The taste is very good.

    Brunch is only on Sunday only!!!! Us and everyone who came in after us thought brunch was served on sat as well. I hope in future they offer the brunch menu on Saturday as well it’s clearly something customers want. The food was very tasting and their own blend of coffee was delicious. This is a great lunch or dinner option but we will be looking elsewhere for weekend breakfast options. I just feel without zozo’s not serving breakfast they are missing out on a money making opportunity for local breakfast.
