   In our party of three, two of us were first-time patrons, and the third hadn't visited Bradford Tavern for some time. I wasn't sure what to expect on a Tuesday night. While it was a quieter night in terms of customers, the room was reasonably full. The volume for both music and chatter was moderate which was a welcome change from other restaurants. There was also a fire going in the fireplace adding to the cozy atmosphere. All three of us ordered the seafood casserole, and it was delicious. One member of our party is not fond of onions (present in the roasted vegetable side); the alternate broccoli side was crisp and tasty. The lemon cake dessert was also delicious. Our waitress Zoe was attentive and welcoming. There was no problem with splitting the bill and using two credit cards to pay. We enjoyed our time at Bradford Tavern very much and hope to return in the near future!

   Good comfort food. Depending on the dish ordered, portions were small or large. Is the seafood dish was small portion vs the short ribs which were plentiful. I got the beet salad. It was excellent. I also had the tuna poke bowl. It was good too

   Food was good, but service was really off. Took about 12min before server even recognized us sitting in her section and only went down hill from there. And took forever to get our food. It was apparent food was sitting out for a while before we received it at our table. Very disappointing night!

   We greatly enjoyed our meals at Bradford Tavern. It was our first time there, and we were pleasantly surprised in the quality and the generous portions of our meals. We chose to eat upstairs in the Library, and we were so happy we did! The cozy, intimate atmosphere with beautiful leather seating and fireplace was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. They also have a dining room and tavern on the main level that are extremely popular. The place was bustling on a Saturday night. We definitely plan to return.

    It is a great location for a casual gathering with family and friends. Food as your mother might serve at Sunday dinner. Service was very attentive to all our needs.
