I had maybe 5 total that were over an inch long- the rest were tiny pieces. The popcorn chicken had no flavor besides the salt they added. "Market price" for this was $38! Kids grilled cheese was literally melted cheese between the two lightest toasted pieces of bread. No butter, no golden color at all. $70 for these meals, two sodas, and top. I will never go back.

It's a great vibe, with awesome music playing in the background and a beautiful view of the river (you're practically in it) with amazing outdoor seating. The staff were probably the nicest, happiest people I've seen working in a restaurant in a long time. Each of them seemed truly happy to be there and were extremely friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, they were out of a few things... otherwise the food was great, not spectacular, but great. I recommend the brussel spout salad and the blackened chicken (favorite of the night). The cocktails came quick and were also perfectly made. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in beautiful Amesbury!

My friend and I were looking for a low-key place where we could grab dinner and walk in with our…read moreworkout clothes, and this place came up. Neither of us had been before, and a burger sounded really good to me at that moment, so we decided to give it a try! I made a reservation about 20 minutes before we arrived. We got there early, but they seated us right away. It wasn't too busy, and we eventually moved to the bar because the seating made it easier to chat. The frozen espresso drinks immediately caught our attention. Even though it was late, we couldn't resist the sound of that. They were strong and quite tasty. We started with the fried mozzarella balls, which were nice and crispy. My friend ordered the chicken Milanese, and I went with the signature Tavern Burger. Our bartender, Luan, was very nice and attentive. Between the overall relaxed atmosphere, tasty drinks, and friendly service, it was a great spot for our casual night out. Luan told us that the menu was changing the next day and we will definitely come back to try the seasonal menu.

Our waitress was attentive (almost too much so lol). We were having a serious conversation and the check-ins were a bit much BUT she was still super nice. T he drinks were not bad but kind of tasted like a drink you'd get from a chain like Applebees or something. We ordered a dozen oysters which were great but for an oyster bar, I guess I expected a bit more in terms of the waitress telling us which oysters were which and/or marking them accordingly. The fries were fantastic and hit the spot! I remember having a better overall experience at their Salem location in the past and will likely stick to that location since it's closer any way.

We arrived just after our friends who advised they had already ordered their drinks. Our waitress arrived promptly and took our drink order and then vanished. No drinks for quite some time. A manager came over to ask if anybody had visited us, apologized for the delay, and returned with our drinks. I'm estimating it was a bit over 30 minutes or so before drinks arrived. Our waitress did return, apologized and took our food order. I wasn't so sure about ordering sushi, but glad we did. The maki we tried were very good, fresh and beautifully presented. A great start. We switched gears for our entree and went with a parpadelle bolognese. A nice generous portion that was as good as some of the Italian spots in the area. Our friends also enjoyed their dishes. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. I would easily have given 4 stars, but the service needs improvement. You would need to plan to spend at least a couple of hours for a lunch. In our case it was not a big deal as we were enjoying time with friends, but I can understand the other negative reviews now. We do plan to return to work our way deeper into the menu, and hope they will have more staff to help with the front of the house.

This wasn't our first visit to this place; we had visited once before and sat on the patio (during…read morewinter, so it was sealed up like a cozy igloo). Knowing the drill, we were prepared to valet the car, which is definitely a downside since it slows down the whole getting-in-and-out process. We made our way to the host stand and were greeted warmly. We asked for seating for three (husband, wife, and child) and were led to a table along the outside of the bar. It was a great window seat but definitely on the louder side. Not an issue for us, but if you're bringing someone who's hard of hearing or just doesn't like noise, consider this a heads-up. Our waitress came over to take our drink order immediately, and we placed our food order shortly after. We started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer. I ordered the Poke Bowl, my husband went for the Mac & Cheese, and our son ordered the same from the kids' menu. Drinks took a while to arrive. When the appetizer came, I noticed my utensils were sticky and asked for a new set. This took wayyyyy longer than it should have. She literally went and gathered some drinks from the bar and delivered them before getting me the utensils. The appetizer was tasty but lacked the sriracha kick we expected from the description (though I honestly preferred them this way). Our meals arrived, and I noticed mine was very small but delicious. My husband's dish was missing the chicken and prosciutto and was really dry. Our son's dish had chicken on the side (a good idea) because he didn't like the pasta, calling it "dry and weird" (his words). My husband asked for a side of cheese and the missing chicken and prosciutto. He only got the chicken and cheese (at this point, we let the prosciutto go). We ordered a second round of drinks but should have ordered them as soon as the first round arrived because the meal was pretty much done by the time we got the second round. In the end, we skipped dessert and paid the check. The lackluster personality of our waitress didn't help things. We handed in the valet tag with payment (as instructed) and still waited over 10 minutes for our car by the time we got to the parking lot. Overall, this place has promise but still needs some work before it can capitalize on the summer traffic. If they can't figure it out, I fear it won't last like many of their predecessors. Fingers crossed for them because I do think they can be wonderful!
