   The history and friendly service just screams Kentucky. Should be on everyone’s checklist of things to see and do in the state. If your are on the bourbon trail, this is the lunch spot.

   Austyn was terrible. Our food took forever to be served even after waiting an inordinate amount of time to even be greeted. We made the mistake of attempting to order dessert. However, after 20 minutes our dessert wasn’t plated. On top of all that, our bills were messed up and weren’t charged correctly. Brad (the manager) had no clue how to correct the issue. Would not recommend. Also, there was a short curly hair in my shepherd’s pie. P.S., who has red hair?

   Particularly with a gentle December snow and the Christmas decor of the square …. there is no better place than Talbott Tavern. Thank you, Bethany, for your great service and energy.

   2.5 rating, actually. Underwhelming. Our sides came to the table cold, the drinks were mediocre and service was very slow. Several things didn’t go our way, (beer taps just came back online the day previous, so selection was very meager, and a 17 seat table placed orders right before ours) but there was no explanation from our server as to why things were so delayed and cold. A little explanation would have gone a long way. The building is interesting step back in time.

   We enjoyed everything we had from the appetizers to the desserts (plural in both categories). Colton provided excellent service.

   The collard greens were cold and flavorless and the rest of the food was mediocre at best. I would not go back. If you want a nice Talbott experience, just go sit at the bar and have some cocktails - but go somewhere else to eat - we were just very disappointed because we were so excited about having dinner in this iconic venue and everything fell flat.
