Great food in the tradition of Boston's North End. Reasonable prices. The owner has 2 restaurants in the North End as well. Service is excellent and there's entertainment on weekdays and weekends. Has two bars, one a little quieter than the other. read more

The food is good, but the service is lackluster. We had a subpar experience a few months ago and decided to give it another shot. This time was worse. While there are gluten free options, I was served gluten during both visits. The first time was the wrong pasta. The kitchen made me a new meal. The second attempt was fine, but my table ate while I waited and then I ate alone when my food did come. This time we ordered a gluten free pizza as an app. We received a regular pizza. We were told that we would be comped for the mistake and a gluten pizza was on the way. Neither statement was true. An hour after we ordered, after we had completed our meal, we were told the kitchen was backed up and asked if we still wanted the gluten free pizza. We declined because we just wanted to leave at the point, but the regular pizza was still on the bill. We paid it - it's fine. As a member of the gluten-free/celiac community, I would caution others to be extra careful here. We really wanted to like this restaurant, but the very slow service (a hour before we received any food) coupled with the allergy mistakes make it tough to consider again. read more

The Food is marvelous and service was wonderful atmosphere is very nice I will return for sure

Excellent service. Great tasting menu. Staff was attentive and very accommodating. Worth the visit.

Love this place! The food is always amazing and we've never had a bad meal here. Definitely one of our go-to spots!!!

In an effort to diversify the places I take dad on Friday, we tried The Berry Tavern tonight. The staff and owners were super welcoming and friendly and the service was great. Started with the meatballs which were excellent and a highlight of the meal. I had the carbonara. I am a bit of a carbonara expert a while this was not the best I have ever had, it certainly cracked the top 5. Dad had the Tavern Scallops and he said it was very good. Parking is a nightmare but that is not their fault. Overall very good and we will add it to our rotation. read more

Berry Tavern is consistently good. They can get busy quickly on weekends, but the restaurant is a good size, so the wait usually isn't too long. They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when the weather is nice. If you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I definitely recommend making a reservation. The service can be a bit inconsistent, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, it's a good spot that I would recommend. read more

Food is delicious, reasonable prices, waitstaff very attentive. Only thing I can say against is that it's very noisy even at lunchtime

I visited the Berry Tavern last night. I agree with the previous ratings. It was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food or service, but it was fine. As soon as we sat down we noticed the water glasses were dirty. We told the waitress. She said it was just the etching. I'm not sure she knows what etching means. A dirty glass is a dirty glass. It is what it is. Which, ultimately defined this place for me, it is what it is. It's a tavern with decent food. read more

It is OK, it is family friendly and accordingly raucous, loud, hectic. Too many big parties. Communication is difficult. Friendly owners and staff. The "bread" they put on the table is a joke. Please serve some baguette and olive oil to patrons waiting for the food. read more

Such a nice luncheon today at Berry Tavern! The service was great, our waitress was pleasant and the food was delicious! The atmosphere was typical of a New England tavern. It's a favorite spot of ours. read more

Exceptional food. Exceptional staff. Love this hidden gem. No need to go to the North End. It's right here. Highly recommended

We had a party of 10, they were very welcoming because most of us arrived late. The service was friendly and excellent in general. The food was a hit, most of us hadn't been there before but planned on coming again. read more

Food was good but service was lacking. We were a party of 7 and felt like we were a bother to the waitress that night. They seated us at a high top but we couldn't have conversation except with the person next to us due to the music and the fan. Always liked The Berry Tavern but won't be going back. read more

We came for the first time tonight and we will be back! It was a packed Friday so, the bar was packed. Definitely a go to date spot or a friend's catch-up. We checked out the bar seen first but, there were no spots (classic!). The hostess, Abby, saw that there was an opening between reservations and got us a table stat. She was both accommodating and friendly. My sister got the chicken and vegetable soup, my mom got the shrimp grand mariner and I got the Tirimasu. They went for the savory and I went for the sweet. We came here for a little snack after the movies so, it was a weird mix of food lol the chicken and vegetable soup was a food for the soul. The shrimp grand mariner was the perfect combination of savory and sweet. And, then tiramisu was the biggest I've ever seen. It was moist (yea, I used it), decedent and light. Debbie was our server and was welcoming and so funny. I will definitely be back to try a proper full meal - next time I have room! read more

I was in the area to help my cousin with something and this place was a short walk from where I parked. I love some good Italian food and ordered some pasta, which tasted fantastic. The portion was generous and I took some home for later. The waitress was kind and attentive, and our order came out promptly. It had a nice interior and would be a nice place to have a conversation over a hot meal. read more

We ordered take out. Everything was delicious. The pizza crust was perfect, crisp and tasty. The eggplant rollatini was excellent. Staff was attentive and focused on our satisfaction. read more

I just want to say thank you to Joe at Berry tavern who helped me organize my grandson's first communion party. He did a fantastic job and we had a wonderful time. The service was great and food was amazing Thank for making this day so special We will be back real soon. Our favorite place to go and eat. read more

I had to think about this review because I am a regular customer who is at The Berry pretty frequently. I love the food, the owners and the service there. My one complaint is that I have had one server the last 2 times I went there and she really brings down the whole atmosphere of the place. I believe her name is Alex. She has zero personality and when I asked her about something that was wrong she accused me of ordering incorrectly. She is very direct and not personable at all. She doesn't make you feel welcome. If I get her as a server again when I go back I will leave. I really wish the owners would see this review and do something about her. She totally brings down the vibe of my favorite restaurant. read more

Love it there food is delicious, drinks are great and the owners are super friendly Love the veal and chicken dishes read more

I liked it, to my surprise, since I didn't expect to like it for no good reason, but somebody then recommended it. We went for lunch - great vibe, just before xmas so a couple of santas with drinks in hand, one of whom greeted me to my surprise with a big hug as i didn't realize it was a friend of mine, so that was fun. Great cosmo, which I normally don't drink for lunch but I'd been advised they make great martinis - this was exceptional as most don't get my instructions right. Great caesar salad, which is my measuring stick for lunch restaurants, and I'm a tough critic. My husband less impressed with his meatball sandwich, but the fries were very good. We'll go back! read more

We had a nice time at the Berry Tavern (the first time in downtown Danvers for all four of us) even tho my meal wasn't quite up to par. Had an early res and I'm pretty sure our table went to someone else but it didn't take too long to get seated. Wish we could have been in the more homey dark tavern area but not a big deal. We had very nice service and I was very happy to see the little side car of extra drink come with our martinis. One person had tasty grilled scallops with a proper seat and risotto (~$28), one had a seafood pasta special at about $34 and one had chicken with bacon asparagus etc. I went for the well priced filet mignon w mashed and asparagus ($28?). Thankfully the side of jus/sauce was delicious cuz the meat was pretty darn tough and dipping it was still. We skipped dessert but fairly successful night out. read more

Had a nice and early dinner at Berry Tavern on Saturday. Went in at 4:45ish and was seated on the bar side (which we asked for). The host was sweet and friendly. We were seated, ordered some Ciders and a water. I ordered the chicken broccoli penne with garlic oil and my friend ordered the gnocchi on special. While we waited we munched on the bread. The bread part was good but the crust/ edge of the bread was not a great taste, I just ripped the crust off. My dinner was good, nice flavor, broccoli was cooked perfectly and good amounts of chicken. My friends looked good but it was very thick sauce and a small portion. Our server was attentive, not the most friendly but she was there when we needed her! Would come back again, good menu options. read more

The food was delicious I would recommend this restaurant to everyone! The atmosphere was nice too. I would recommend making a reservation.

The crew is always super friendly! Joe and Ashley treat everyone like family. Love the vibe!

We love Berry Tavern. The veal parm, chicken Marsala, steak tips, and homemade pasta options are all delicious! Good service and nice atmosphere. North End quality on the North Shore for sure! read more

Amazing food and cocktails Staff is great and attentive. Highly recommend the pumpkin ravioli appetizer read more

We went for dinner and we were seated immediately as many tables were empty on Sunday evening. The waitress was a bit standoffish when questions about some of the menu items were asked. She was uninterested in helping us and uneducated about the food. She could not tell us what was made fresh as opposed to what was frozen. She indicated there was only 1 type of ravioli on the menu when, in fact, there are 2 types. The whole experience did not go well and will not be returning. The food itself was mediocre. read more

Out running errands, we needed a bit to eat to keep the energy going. We stopped at this tavern as it was less than a block from the butchery we needed to run to. Sat at the bar, Emma, the bartender, was great and swift with getting us water and a drink order going. Hubs had the Sam Summer; the lemon wedge was a nice twist, he said. I got the berry Cosmo, which is strong but really tasty. It came with a lil carafe to top off my drink when ready. For an app, we shared the Philly steak and cheese egg rolls. hubby said it took him back to childhood. They were very tasty, not greasy. I did need to add a hit of salt, though. Otherwise, def a repeat order next time. Since it was lunchtime, we decided to split a pasta dish. We opted for the scallop and shrimp dish; I can't remember the sauce name, and it's not on the online menu lol... But it was a light wine and garlic sauce that perfectly coated the pasta. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the asparagus in the dish was my favorite of the whole dish, blanched to perfection! We loved the vibe here. We will be back! read more

We started with the calamari, which was great. I got the grilled fig salad. It was fine. It had all things I like but for some reason it didn't really come together for me. My husband got the blackened swordfish over spinach risotto which was very good. Our server was fantastic! Very attentive with good recommendations. We sat in the bar. A band was warming up as we ate. Seems like a cool, popular place! read more
