The mission stays the same though. Good food ties us to the memories and the people we love. I share the memories and the food I love. 3 years ago I started a little food truck breakfast in a little bar parking lot, today we call that parking lot ours and that little bar, is now Little Riggs.

    Don’t miss the tuna toast or steak tartare. Chowder best I’ve ever had! Steak frites on point. Great food. Great drinks. Casual but nice enough for a date night with class.

    The Tavern was the perfect choice for our mid-week birthday celebration. The additions to the fall menu are delicious with particular favorites: the Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Acorn Squash Skins. Service was warm, welcoming and efficient and we appreciated Chef Alex’s table-side visit. We’ll be back!

    Overall a great experience. Our waiter Carol sp? Was attentive and made sure everyone's order was perfect. Craft cocktails perfectly blended. The pop-overs were a nice surprise, delicious. Entrees on point. My only suggestion was the ambiance, overall esthetically beautiful, it was a bit loud and too bright, maybe a dimmer?

    Great service and great food! We came for the gluten free menu but everyone left happy. There was something for each one of us - a vegetarian, teen with food allergies and a seafood lover!
