    This was our first time at the tavern and it was an amazing experience. Experience is always made better when you have an excellent weight staff and Hannah was exactly everything you want. From the steak to the salmon and the beignets everything was great definitely will be back again.

    Comfort food at great prices - we had a bison burger, hangar steak and crab spaghetti entrees. PEI mussel stood out for me. Pork poutine was nice as well, just a tad hard and dry. Happy hour was a great catch.

    We love to sit in the bar area. It’s busy, a little loud but good vibes. The food was delicious as always but the kitchen was running a little slow. They were busy and we were not in a hurry. It took 40 minutes for dessert to come out.

    Nothing stood out.. everything was very average except the Caesar salad which was actually terrible. Zero flavor.. the tomatoes and egg didn't make sense. The blue cheese hummus also didn't match the description as the was no blue cheese flavor.. Steaks were cooked properly but not seasoned at all.. no salt and pepper on the table. The server was nice.. but everything took longer than it should have. Wasn't bad just disappointing

    Mushroom pasta dish was not cooked well - poor taste. Brisket mac n cheese - brisket was like shoe leather.
