I was debating between 3 and 4 stars because it was definitely a 3.5-star experience but that's not…read morean option. Service was great. Ambiance is lovely--great decor, comfortable seating, a gorgeous bar, and live music. Fun cocktails and a solid wine list (though the "by the glass" options are a bit limited). Ultimately, though, I think the ambiance and service are doing the heaviest lifting here--it's a bit of a "vibe dining" spot. The food is definitely good, don't get me wrong...but it's not "wow," which was a little disappointing given that you're gonna be spending $$$$. (Most entrees are $30+ and they're pretty standard fare that's not especially inventive--steaks, a few pastas, obligatory short rib dish, elevated burgers, salmon.) We liked everything just fine but I didn't taste a dish that made me go "oh man, I gotta come back for that." Instead I'm thinking "maybe I should try something else next time I'm in." I do like that your entree comes with a salad. The physical menu itself could also use some work, as its quality doesn't match the care and luxury atmosphere of the place overall. Numerous misspellings and a lack of specificity on ingredients in several of the dishes that leave the diner unclear on what, exactly, they're getting. For example, there's an entree that's described simply as "grilled chicken breast served with rosemary potato wedges and grilled zucchini." Are there spices or sauces on that chicken? Are we talking just plain salt/pep? Herbs? What? Anyway, it's fine. It's a solid date night option. We'll be back.

This place has become a favorite of my husband's and mine! The food and service are consistently…read moreexcellent! The drinks are served up strong and service by our server tonight, Grace, was very attentive. Every time we come here we order the crispy potstickers appetizer and we agreed that their fried pickles are the best we've had anywhere. The dill dipping sauce that comes with the fried pickles is the bomb. My husband loves burgers and it's not always easy to find places that actually serve great burgers, but tonight he said "this is delicious!" Our server, Grace, was friendly, helpful and paid attention to the right time when to offer another drink or see if we want anything else. The music playing is a mix of genres so there's something for everyone and we enjoy it. They play it at the perfect volume. Loud enough to hear it well but not so loud that we can't hear each other talk. And, the outdoor patio seating is dog friendly! Reading some of the other reviews, I am baffled that people are leaving three and four stars when they have nothing but raving positive things to say (awesome, fantastic, etc) about the food, drinks, ambiance and service. That makes a place worthy of a five star review. Do yourself a favor and visit the Liberty Taproom!

Our friends & we go here for the rum buckets. We don't have a problem with the food or service…read more We were there Saturday Aug 1 celebrating our friend's birthday. We sat outside because last year this is where you had to sit to get the rum buckets. This year outside bar was closed & they had to get them from inside . Had we known this, we would have preferred to sit inside as 2 of us have hearing problems. You can imagine our reaction when live outside music was being set up. Ok. Fine. It was not awful as the volune was kept at a reasonable level. Our problem was when the singer stepped aside & brought 2 little girls up to sing. We are in a public restaurant & should not feel obligated to pay attention & listen to children while WE are trying to enjoy ourselves & celebrate a birthday. Note to the parents: if you want everyone to shhh & pay attention, rent a PRIVATE venue.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. We started with several appetizers, including the calamari, which was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of the meal. The service was top-notch. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful throughout our visit. She checked on us regularly and somehow always seemed to appear with another beer before I even realized I needed one! It's rare to find service that feels so natural and attentive without being intrusive. Both of our entrées were delicious, and everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. What really stood out was the attention to detail. As we were leaving, our waitress stopped us to share information about the restaurant's weekly specials. She recognized it was our first visit and made sure we felt welcomed and informed. The combination of exceptional service, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a phenomenal dining experience. While it's a little pricier than your average restaurant, the quality and service make it well worth the cost. Highly recommended--we'll definitely be back!
