The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

WOW! If you want probably the best service of your life, and food on par with that vibe, The…read moreUnicorn Tavern is for you! Yes, they have a small parking lot, and don't fret if you have the park on the street like we did, as we were seating promptly and it didn't feel too crowded. Since we were seated at high tops near the bar, the bar tender was our waitress, and she is literally the nicest, good energy, engaging human ever! She also whips up the custom, creative mimosa recipes, kudos to her for her awesomeness! I ordered the Shakshuka, flavorful, delicious, would order again. Even as a non-vegan, it was satisfying and would recommend to everyone. Husband had the 1964 Worlds Fair Waffle, and it was tiny. Not what you envision when you think of Belgian waffles. He also ordered the Belgian Forest Bacon, again VERY small portion, so much so that at the end of the meal, he had to order a side of the Smashed Maple Sausage. Both our drinks (I had the mimosa) were fantastic and worth ordering, loved the glassware! Aside from the small portions of waffle, bacon, and sausage, the cheerful vibes here are contagious, and I'd dine here again in a heartbeat!

The House-Cut Fries have always been delicious, full of flavor- mostly Garlic and with a Roasted Garlic Aioli dip. They were addicting. It seems the recipe changed. Plain fries with a touch of seasoning and the roasted garlic dip. Eh. Just bland, normal fries. The sauce is delicious but has also changed. The waiters are young and nice. The outside patio is perfect to people watch. New menus pictured. Happy Dining.

It is an adorable restaurant, very comfortable, and smells like grandma has been cooking all day on a Sunday. Our server was INCREDIBLE, brutally honest when we asked questions or for her opinion. My husband ordered the chicken Alfredo and noted that it was very bland with "crunchy" pieces throughout. I ordered the shrimp scampi, on recommendation of our server, and the dish itself was incredible, but the shrimp were very small and so rubbery and overcooked that they were nearly hard to chew. I told my husband that I would love that dish without the shrimp, as the shrimp detracted from the dish overall. We were a little disappointed they didn't offer any sort of salad or bread service. My house Pinot Grigio was tasty and paired great with our meal. It's literally within walking distance of our home, so we may try it again down the road, but it just wasn't the local home run I was hoping for.

Shrimp scampi might as well have been a stick of butter and noodles with way overcooked shrimp. A…read moretip to know when shrimp is cooked enough is if it's shaped like a 'c' it's cooked. If it's a 'o' then it's overcooked ...well these were chewy if that helps confirming it was overcooked. The lasagna was more cheesy and noodles. Not much meat at all. It came with 2 pieces of bread and they tasted awful. FYI-They charge for bread FYI-they add 3% for credit card For as busy as they were I'm not understanding how people haven't questioned the food. Our server didn't even question that we left 3/4 plate and didn't want to take any home.

It was super cool and very comfortable, including the fireplace in the bar area. We came in at about 8:45, about an hour before closing. Our waitress was friendly and fast with the drinks and appetizers. My friends ordered some seared sriracha ahi tuna and an order of chicken nachos. The nachos were HUGE for an app. The ahi tuna was really good, it was blackened with a nice heat from the sriracha. For dinner I ordered the 12oz Ribeye with double broccoli, since I am low carb. That steak was cooked a perfect medium. It was one of the best steaks I have had out in a while. The price was right and the service matched. Check out Ted's if you are in the area.

We had dinner on a Monday, getting a couple cocktails, an appetizer and a huge entree to split…read more Cocktails: All very well crafted and generally tasty. I did find my Apple old fashioned a little sweet, and would have preferred a duck fat wash rather than an apple butter wash. I also found some un-dissolved sugar at the bottom. But that is my bad on the ordering. Would still come back just for the cocktails! Appetizer: We got the Brussels sprouts, and would recommend it. They offered a generous helping, they were very crispy and the blue cheese and honey was very complimentary. Entree: We got the ribeye to split. It was cooked very well, seasoned well, and came with really beautiful vegetables and mashed potatoes. The kitchen was very nice to split the 2 dishes as I shared it with my husband. We got complimentary bread service and a cucumber palette cleanser. The olive oil and garlic for the bread was delicious! We came on a Monday, but I saw that they offered live music on Fridays!

Only downside: the restaurant is connected to a bar and with live music at the bar it made it a little difficult to talk and felt distracting at times.

Service was slow out of the gate -- despite our waiter hanging out with a table he clearly knew. Food didn't fare much better. We ordered the smash burger, which by definition should come with cheese and smash sauce -- that's the whole point of a smash burger, not an add-on. Ours came with neither, and even though it had two patties, we had to pay extra just to add a single slice of cheese. It was incredibly dry, even after adding that cheese and trying table condiments to compensate. The chicken tenders looked appetizing but the chicken itself was stringy and overcooked. Dessert was the low point. We ordered the Oreo cheesecake bites and waited over 20 minutes, only to be served what was essentially liquid pudding in a shooter glass with whipped cream on top. Our server admitted, "I didn't know I was supposed to make it" -- it seems the dessert needed time to set in the fridge and was served before it was ready. While we were waiting we heard another table complaining. The server responded "chill. It's all good". The table responded "actually it's not all good!" Three strikes and we're out. We won't be back.

The whiskey based drinks are personally my favorite: Dragons Milk Old Fashioned and the Nutty Gentleman. They both have very robust flavors, with a touch of sweetness from the maple/cherry/orange elements. Both cocktails are made with great whiskeys, that are very tasty on their own, neat. I even brought home a bottle! It is incredible that craft cocktails with small batch whiskey can cost only $11-15. On two different occasions (maybe Fridays), there was live music. The first gentleman was very talented, playing various covers better than the original artists themselves. Definitely recommend checking out!
