Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

    A truly exceptional fine dining experience. Our server Stephanie (from Phoenix AZ) as fantastic in paying a lot of attention to us and the rest of her tables. They have an incredible wine list with some decent prices as well. We ordered Foie Gras (excellent), Carpaccio (light and easy). My wife ordered a Fillet which was cooked to perfection. I ordered the local fish with white asparagus. Only comment was that the "sauce" consisting of capers and olives was way too salty. Other than not being asked if we wanted to check in our coats at the beginning, I would give it a 9.5 out of ten.
