Ehh, not too bad I suppose. What stole the show, was the local-brewed beer. I forgot the name, but it was an extension of the Angry Orchard, per the bartenders recommendations. The food was decent, a cool quick spot to go to. There were options of hot sauce which I'll admit, made the food better. Would I return?.. eh, probably not. Nothing just really grabbed me to return with urgency.

Tavern coffee
Kínã D. R.

I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. The hostesses were very nice. Upon our entry. They were very busy and so we waited for a table for 5-10 minutes. Once we were seated we orders the crab dip appetizer. It came out piping hot with fresh bread. I had the Tavern coffee and it was very good. The waiters were very nice and continuously checked on us. I ended up with the salmon hash meal because the pot roast was sold out for the day. It was hot and fresh. The hash wasn't an actual hash though so that was disappointing but the potatoes were still good.

Mediterranean salad
Karen H.

I went here for a birthday party for my cousin. With that said there were probably at least 60 people in attendance. We had a private room for a party that started at 5pm. The 2 servers promptly came out to take our orders. Our server was Anuar. He began taking orders. When it was my turn I asked if he was ready for me and he said "I've been ready. I'm waiting for you." The delivery of this gave the air of being borderline rude, but I dismissed it and placed my order. I ordered the cream of crab soup and the mediterranean salad. As for the drink I just wanted water no ice with lemon and lime. He bought out some for the table which was where his hospitality stopped. While I was waiting for my food I was moving around taking pics of the Guest and birthday girl. When I return to the table, everyone had their appetizers but me. Also, one of the guest had knocked over the drink, and the glass broke. They used my place setting to wipe up the water and collect the broken pieces of glass. I was standing Anuar and noticed he had my glass of water with lime and lemon and told him that that was my water. Told me in a not so nice tongue that he had been told there was a glass broken and he collected my water glass just in case, and he fell into the water. I told him oh I didn't realize thanks. His response was a roll of eyes. I I also told him that I didn't get my cream of crab soup and perhaps they forgot me because I wasn't seated when they walked the apps out. Again, he rudely told me that he was getting it. When the soup came out I asked him if they had any Old Bay. he said yes, but again it was with an attitude as if I was putting him out. He bought the Old Bay out, and placed it in front of me as if to say "Here!". I tasted the soup and it was cold and thick. At this point I didn't want to ask him to reheat it because everything I asked him prior was meant with either a rude comment, a roll of the eyes or a huff and puff. His last little outburst I had to ask my family have I said or done anything that warranted this behavior. I realize sometimes we may not realize how we come off to others. My family is quick to put you in check if you are doing something out of the way. They all said no that it was him. My cousin also asked if they had any bread and he said no when we asked the other server she said yes and we could order some if we like. The question is why couldn't he have done the same thing. The soup was also not served with crackers which it should have been. When my salad came I didn't realize that the feta was actually the dressing. The Mediterranean salad comes with a thick creamy feta dressing that is really not ample for the whole salad so the salad was kind of dry. Both my cousin and I ordered the salad and we asked if we could have additional dressing on the side. she asked for balsamic and I asked for the lemon vinaigrette. He bought out the dressing, gave her two balsamic and me one lemon vinaigrette. He was clearly being petty because why I did not have two dressings as well for that huge salad? It got to the point where I had to say something because I wasn't putting up with any more of his foolishness. The manager or somebody must've gotten to him because he stopped waiting on our table and started serving other tables. I noticed that he was much more cordial to his other guest. Before I left, I asked him privately where did the Customer server relationship breakdown? I realize that servers are human and perhaps he was just having a bad day. I told him What my perception of his service was and his response was when everybody is yelling orders what do you expect and he denied being rude and he's sorry I felt that way. I told not only did I not yell at him. No one at our table was yelling. Again, even in trying to have an adult conversation with him he was sassy (as my grandmother would say). I realize that there was no having him realize or own his part in this interaction and left him and told him to be blessed. On the upside,the other server, Bilspy was excellent! Even when Anuar was acting a fool, she was still trying to work her tables and ours as well. Ultimately, she ended up taking over for him. She was really hustling and doing everything she could do to make things right and please all the guest . I really appreciate her and the young man that was helping her serve the meals. Although, I didn't care for the cream of crab soup. I actually enjoy the Mediterranean salad once I was able to get additional dressing and mix everything together. The flavors went together nicely. There were falafel's, roasted beets, pickled onions, quinoa rice (that I believe, had turmeric in it), hummus, cucumbers, spring mix, and tomatoes. This was my type of jam. As for the rest of my table crabcake sliders were ordered and reported to be tasty. The vegetable of the day was medallion cut carrots also said to be delish with a beautiful presentation. The Maryland crab soup was cold and got a thumbs down.

Thai wings
Carla B.

I don't really live near this area so I was interested in trying when a friend recommended we go for lunch. We had a reservation but arrived earlier than that time and were seated immediately at one of the couches. It seriously felt like I was sitting in a living room and I'm not mad about it. It was a Saturday and they were offering happy hour, which is rare. I haven't come across many weekend happy hours. As a starter, we had old bay tater tots with crab dip and loaded nachos. My eyes were wide when the waitress offered the crab dip and tots together because I wouldn't even think to eat them together. But I'm glad I did because it was delicious. Not all crab dips are created equal but theirs is great. For my drink, I ordered a pineapple mimosa. It was delicious and I honestly wouldn't expect anything different from a place named libations. For my entree, I ordered the Thai wings. They tasted really good and were the perfect amount of spice. I do wish they came with a side because of the price but nonetheless, they tasted good. Overall, Libations has a chill vibe and great bar food. They also offer brunch but I didn't try that menu out this time. If I'm in the area again soon, I would revisit.

This place was more impressive than I expected. I thought it was just a pub or a bar but the food was excellent. We ordered crab dip, wings nachos and salmon salad. Everything was flavored extremely well and I can't wait to try more of the menu. I ate one of my friends wings and it was juicy and very tasty. My salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. The service was extremely pleasant and helpful suggesting menu items and drinks. The area set up to lounge on couches or traditional restaurant tables and chairs. can't wait to come back.

Chesapeake Crab Dip and Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps were excellent
Karon S.

Ashley made sure our visit was most enjoyable. They bill themselves as a Modern American Tavern - they need to work on the ambiance - nice but does not have the vibe of a great modern tavern. Food was all delicious, with generous portions sizes. Our table of 4 had: 5/5 Chesapeake Crab Dip ($14) Served with Pretzel Bread which is the perfect accompaniment, and with Potato Chips freshly made in house - enough for 4 to share as an appetizer 5/5 Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps ($14) A hit! Includes Dragon Sauce, cashews, rice noodles, and veg 4/5 Buffalo Chicken ($15) Very tasty but be sure to only eat 1/3 and take the rest home because this is a heavy dish on the stomach 5/5 Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger ($17) very tasty - the Tomato Jam made it special 4/5 Kids meal Cheeseburger with Mac N Cheese ($10) was a hit with the kiddo

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be chicken in it, didn't find any. It was corn, beans, tomatoes and a thin stock. Soup was lukewarm, not hot. Dressing on top looked attractive. Chips were the best part. I got the drunken shrimp tacos which I expected more from. Three small tacos and a small lukewarm serving of rice. Platter could have been filled out with beans, chips and a heavier serving of condiments on the tacos instead of the barren looking plate for $16.50 We also got the Queso Fresco Chicken Tacos... bland overcooked chicken. The salsas were good. Small side of rice. $15.50 There are a lot of Mexican places to compare to and it is very easy to fill out a plate with inexpensive ingredients like rice, beans, cheese, salsa, limes and fresh herbs... these platters had very little of that. Just underwhelming for a $48 quick lunch (40 + tip) that left us unimpressed with quantity and quality. I'll try this place again some busy summer day when the margaritas are flowing and the kitchen is busy. Perhaps this was just because we went on a slow winter day, but I expected more. It looks like a fun bar on a crowded day. Plenty of room and festive decorations.

A poker tournament was going on. We sat at the bar and what I will say is everyone was pleasant and welcoming. We were immediately invited into several conversations happening. I was told many food items on the menu were exceptional; the menu consisted of bar food such as burgers, BLT, steamed shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries and a few other items I cannot recall. I ordered the steamed shrimp which were extremely bland, could tell they were frozen and overcooked. I have never not enjoyed steamed shrimp but these were the exception they also had a strong bleach smell. My partner ordered the turkey burger and didn't rave about it but also didn't complain about it. Nothing was life changing from what I could see that others were ordering. Seems that this is a place for drinking, camaraderie, and entertainment as there are also pool tables which I believe were free to use. No rush to return but if looking for an inviting place to play pool will return. One thing I did not like is that their are no small tables to sit your drink while playing pool as I was raised that you need to have your eyes on your drink when out in public at all times. Being told to leave my drink at the bar while playing pool did not sit well with me so I didn't drink.
