07/31/2026 We came in tonight for my birthday. My mom came…read moreover from Delaware, and I wanted to bring her here to try the food. My wife and I are always talking about the different locations where we dine, and she kept saying, "I can't wait to try it." It was a little busy tonight. There were only a few tables left when we arrived, and shortly afterward they were all filled. We ordered drinks, and I also ordered the Baby Kale Salad. It had fresh apples that were sweet, crisp, and cut perfectly. The vinaigrette complemented all of the ingredients without overpowering them. It was a great way to start dinner. If I had one small suggestion, it would be just a little more dressing, but it was still wonderful. The three of us shared it. For dinner, my wife had the evening special--chicken with pappardelle pasta, asparagus, and a delicious sauce. My mom and I both ordered the Lasagne with house-made pasta, beef, fresh mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The meals came out looking fantastic, as they always do, and everything was excellent. My wife's chicken was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and it paired perfectly with the pappardelle pasta. I already knew the lasagna was going to be outstanding, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The service here continues to be exceptional. Our water glasses were always kept full, empty plates were cleared promptly, and everyone worked together to make it a great dining experience. For dessert, my wife and I ordered our favorite, the Lemon Cheesecake, and my mom chose the Apple Bread Pudding. The cheesecake was excellent, as always, and the bread pudding was also very good--my mom absolutely loved it. Overall, another outstanding meal with excellent service. We will definitely be back.

We visited around 1 PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately, which was a great start. For appetizers, we ordered the Caesar salad and calamari. The Caesar salad was surprisingly small and came with only two croutons. The calamari was a decent portion size, but the flavor was just okay, I've definitely had better elsewhere. For our entrée, we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. The flavor itself was very good, but the noodles were extremely watery, almost giving the dish a soup-like consistency. The portion size was also extremely small, especially considering the price point. Overall, I found the restaurant to be quite expensive for both the portion sizes and the overall dining experience. While the service and seating were fine, the food was ultimately underwhelming for me. Unfortunately, it's not a place I would return to.

The spinach was fresh, the mushrooms canned, but plentiful. A pillow top of cheese ties everything together. Yum!! I highly recommended this family favorite!

What a neat place! I was looking for a new historic spot to take my sister, who was visiting from…read moreMissouri, and found this gem. I love the history and really appreciated the photos throughout the tavern that share its story. There are two dining options: the bar area or the dining room. Since my sister and I were there for lunch and in a more casual mood, we opted for the bar. They offered a nice selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, along with plenty of variety on the food menu. We started with the oysters, which were meaty and full of flavor, then topped things off with the Chesapeake flatbread. They were generous with the toppings, and the crabmeat was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!

The brussel sprouts to start were also good but could've used a bit more gorgonzola cheese on top. I loved the seafood pasta in the saffron butter sauce. They were able to modify it to be gluten free using their gf penne pasta. Great texture and cooked to al dente! My only note would be that they only served brunch on Sundays from opening until 2pm. We arrived at around 1:30pm and I would've preferred items from the regular lunch menu but it wasn't available. They actually start serving dinner at 2pm on Sundays which I also found strange. Not a big deal but just something to keep in mind if you're scoping out the menus beforehand!

For starters we had the Italian boat, basically charcuterie it was okay wouldn't get again. The Filet Mignon was by far one of the best I've ever had, cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. The Fettuccine Bolognese was incredible and is another must-order. For dessert, the Crème Brûlée was delicious, but the Sabayon N' Berries was easily a 100/10. It was so light, fluffy, and the perfect way to end the meal.
