   Everything was excellent!! The food, ambience, drinks and servers were great! We all loved our dishes and the spicy lobster linguine was superb!!! My sister in-law’s pork shank was also delicious!! So many choices for every taste and the dessert was amazing, the chocolate cake, wow…need I say more. I highly recommend Tavern on Rush, we’ll be back to try some other dishes and I’m looking forward to trying one of those steaks, looked so good!

   I dined here and was ROBBED! Our server, Ansil, brings out our bill which was $555. I gave him $380. In cash as to put the rest on my card. He only puts $280 down in cash in hopes I wouldn’t notice and charges my card $275. When he did this, he stayed by our table listening to see if we’d notice. He over heard and walked over to “try” and address the communication error. He then said he would give me my $100 and I did NOT receive it. He could have given it to me back in cash but instead he decides to charge it back to my bank. He stated it would be processed before midnight. It is now the next day and my bank had not received such notification. Food was great, however, watch this sneaky server! And I still tipped on the bill because service was okay throughout dinner. Just to not receive my money back. What a shame!

   Wonderful brunch today. To think, 40 years ago this was “Jay’s’ bar.

   Noise level coming up from the bar made conversation challenging but still enjoyed our first visit to the new home.

   We were a group of 8. We started with a wonderful bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier. We enjoyed the seafood salad, ahi tuna, skirt steak and mahi mahi for dinner. The sides were also delicious. Our waiter Jason was so friendly and had the best smile. He was also very efficient!! We can’t wait to go back!!

   Thanks for the review, Michael! It's great to hear that our service met your expectations as we believe excellent service is the beginning and end to a great dining experience :) Im guessing you're a seafood lover as you enjoyed the calamari so much so, next time you're in, I highly suggest you try our Italian ceviche! It is honestly incredible. My name is Margo. Ask for me when you're here as I would love to get your feedback. Hope to See You Soon. Cheers, -Margo and the Tavern Managment Team

    Hi Ipek, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Tavern. We appreciate your feedback as we use this to make any improvements necessary to keep our guests happy! We do have a downstairs "bar" portion of the restaurant as well as an upstairs for more formal dining. I would love to get some more details about where you were seated to see if we can somehow make that area more comfy for all our guests. We're glad that you had a good experience overall and we hope to see you again soon! Please do send me more details about your visit so we may improve where we can :) Best, Margo and The Management Team
