  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for live music
Newly remodeled, the much airier Tavern is all about art, music, and above all great food. Open for lunch and soon to include evening dining, the Tavern adds a distinctly Mexican/Pacific Coast set of flavors to the local fine dining scene.

We are located in the heart of the Cedros Design District, within walking distance of the Amtrak station. The style is casual with indoor and outdoor dining ( plus bar seating). The patio, which can accommodate 18 guests, looks out onto the shop-lined Cedros Avenue and can be separated from the main dining area for private events.

*Please note* Our restaurant welcomes walk-ins during our Lunch hours from 11:30 am- 3:30 pm.
*Tavern restaurant will be closed for dinner (Lunch will remain open Monday and Tuesday when the belly up is dark)
*Please check our website for the most up-to-date hours*

    It never fails to amaze me how consistently good this place is for being so incredibly busy. The food is nothing short of excellent. It is loud, no question but the wait staff is on top of things and the food is great every single time.

    great food and selection. Could use some more/better 'smaller plates' and options (too much fried stuff on the app menu). Amazing lobster dumplings. street tacos would be a great addition to the dinner menu.
