We arrived yesterday (Monday 8/17) at a few minutes after 3:00. The restaurant looked closed but…read moregratefully the door was unlocked so we looked in and asked a blond lady if they were open. She said yes, but she would be setting up the bar/restaurant. It was a bit odd that it wasn't "set up" and ready to go before opening. She literally continued opening for the next two hours. A party of three women came in after us so it was just us five in the bar. We placed a wing order and after apx 40 minutes I asked our bartender/server to please check on it. The kitchen somehow didn't receive our order yet the table of ladies all had theirs lol. She then said they just started our order, would we like it to go? We hadn't mentioned leaving so a bit odd. Apx 15 minutes and we had our order all packaged to go. Johnny decided to open it up and try one as on a previous first visit, we weren't able to sample the food. Well, I highly recommend the wings. Nice size, cooked perfectly and to order. Apx 30 minutes prior to leaving a second staff member arrived who filled up the ice bins, cut fruit etc for the evening. She was very professional even when a rude customer made a racially ugly comment. I don't know her name but tall, attractive African lady. Very friendly. The restaurant was clean as were the restrooms and the wings were great, but service was just so so from our initial server. Most likely just an off day or start to her shift.

Tucked away in the Heritage Hotel, The Tavern was a great place to grab a bite and a beer…read more There were plenty of tables, with a decent sized bar, a pool table and plenty of TVs. The food was very good, priced right, and proper portions. We shared the mild buffalo wings, extra crispy. The sauce was good and wings cooked well. The bleu cheese dip did not seem to be homemade but it did the job. My wife had a French onion soup which was very good, and the tots-chos. The tots were crispy and smothered in what we believe was a homemade cheese sauce, olives, jalapeños, pickled red onions, and fire roasted corn. It came with salsa, which in our opinion wasn't really needed. Sour cream may have been better but they were fine as is. I had the Tex-mex wrap with fire roasted corn which came with sidewinder fries. Everything was well seasoned and we brought home plenty of leftovers. The beer list was smaller but had a good selection of local crafts and some more well known brands. Our server, Jules, was very nice, attentive, and made good recommendations. Overall, would definitely come back for a low key dinner or to watch the game.

I went here for Southburys restaurant week. The first thing I learned is this is part of a hotel…read more It has no designated parking lot or entrance. You have to park around the hotel guests and employees, and there is definitely parking but some more of a hike then others. Some spots are signed as unavailable to to hotel, so avoid those. There is a small sign on the side of building, which brings you to the back of the hotel. Continue to follow signs, and it brings you to the back the The Tavern. There is a front with a hostess station, and I suspect you get there from the lobby. The interior looks to me like a honky tonk. Lots of room to dance, huge TV, everything made of wood, a bar, and a pool table. There are high tops and normal tables. The food was delicious - I had a wedge salad, lamb burger, and milk with warm cookies for dessert. Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. The burger was a little heavy, but moist and the fries with a little crunch.

The outdoor seating was perfect on a mild summer night. They offer a solid cocktail list - I had the smoked Manhattan. The menu had a variety of tasty options, many with Italian influences. I went with the diver scallops & risotto, and Dad went with the pork chop scarpariello - both were quite good. Service was timely and friendly.

I would not be able to recommend this restaurant after our one and only experience dining there…read morelast night. My husband and I are in the area for a weekend getaway and wanted to find a nice place for a date night. We chose Vyne after looking at their menu, which appeared elevated and unique. Pros and Cons below but the spark notes are: Nice atmosphere, good service, bad (and expensive) food. Pros: *The atmosphere is nice. Slightly elevated, beautiful decor, very nice bar area, and the outdoor area is a vibe. *Service was good. Our waitress was kind, efficient and helpful. *Our cocktails were great. Delicious, not wildly overpriced, and fresh. Cons and the reason why I could not recommend going to this restaurant: Overall the food was wildly disappointing, especially at this price point. We paid (with tip and 2 cocktails each) $250 for food we couldn't finish it was so poorly cooked and prepared. * Surf & Turf appetizer (24) - interesting and fresh spring flavor but the shrimp (a main component of the dish) was overcooked. * Scallop entree($44)- Scallops were not cooked well. They were very rubbery, chewy and bouncy. I left two on the plate. The flavor profile was also heavily oil. * Side of Mac&Cheese - now, I have NEVER not finished mac&cheese, it's my absolute favorite food and a treat for me to order. This mac&cheese was so bad that we had 2 bites and didn't finish. For a $9.50 side I would expect something interesting. Maybe a baked dish? Or three cheeses? Anything than what we got - which was shell pasta (undercooked) and a cheese sauce (similar to a Velveeta). There was also a strange aftertaste, almost like a spoiled milk. Besides that aftertaste there was absolutely no flavor. * The Filet Mignon ($52) - maybe the most disappointing of all our dishes with a theme of badly cooked and no flavor. Asked for it cooked medium rare and closer to the rare side - it came to us as a solid medium. The steak didn't seem to be seasoned at all. No flavor. The potatoes had no crisp and absolutely no flavor. There was a generic BBQ sauce on the plate. With no salt and pepper on the table (on purpose with the expectation that everything would be flavored perfectly) it made absolutely no sense to finish a dish that we could make better at home. A truly disappointing meal that we couldn't finish, paid $$$$ for and had to stop at fast food on the way home from because we were still so hungry. I don't review often but I needed to because this is an expensive restaurant for what it is, and I want to make sure people know what they're getting into. Maybe we just went on a bad night, but we won't be going back to find out.

I think the stand outs are the nachos which have a delicious lime crema on top which makes them hard to stop eating and the jumbo pretzel which has a yummy cheese that goes along with it. I've had a couple of entrees including the quesadilla, the burger and the chicken BLTA . I would say the entrees are just okay and not very memorable. Again, I've been coming here every month for their last few months and haven't eaten an entree that makes me say "I must have this again." I personally haven't ordered a cocktail, but my mother has each visit and has been disappointed with her drink each time. She thinks it's the type of liquor that they use. Again, not my personal experience but figure I would share. My favorite item on the menu so far has to be the Butter Toffee dessert. It is mouth watering and I get it every time, highly recommend!!

My wife and I sat down and scanned the meal, while doing so we were treated to some homemade bread with some garlic and oil in a dish to snack on. The bread was amazing, loved the undercarriage and I could've eaten two servings of that alone. I went with the steak and cheese at the recommendation of our server and my wife got the sourdough grilled cheese with tomato soup. My steak and cheese came with sweet potato fries with no upcharge. It was a decent steak and cheese for a tavern, loved the sesame sub it came on, good portion of meat. My only suggestion for improvement would be to cook the cheese in with the steak instead of slapping it on at the end, minor detail. My wife enjoyed her grilled cheese it was fresh and the tomato soup had great flavor to it, very delicious. We also got some ice cream to cap it off, Rich Farm of course, nice they have that option. Consider us regulars, we will be back!

So sweet to us and understanding we had just ate, professional and recommended dishes for our next visit, other great places, just one of the best servers we have had recently. The restaurant offers indoor seating, has a lovely bar area, I saw two tables that looked perfect for a wintery romantic dinner by the fireplace (electric I think). But it's the outdoor dining on the water that's truly special. I asked Katie about the beautiful flowers everywhere and she explained the owners wife handles them all. Talk about a green thumb!! Amazing. Idk why the low rating on yelp but I wanted to give five stars for service, ambience, and cleanliness but couldn't because we didn't eat so tomorrow I hope to add to this review with our food experience. Go with complete confidence. Unfortunately Katie is going back to teaching kiddos soon but just go.
