    Super cozy and warm at the Worthington Tavern with the new winter door installed. Love the vibe in this place ... and the bib wedge salad with salmon is my favorite. My son loves the burgers and the sopressata / spicy pizza with the chocolate cake for desert.

    We have enjoyed dinner here several times so decided to try it for brunch. The ambience is great, service was very good but the food was disappointing. Between us, we had chicken and waffles, the breakfast burrito and a side of fruit. The fruit bowl was great - not filled with melon as they so often are. The burrito was described as “ok” but nothing special. The chicken with the waffles was listed as having barbecue seasoning but it was really over seasoned (very spicy) and quite dry. Coupled with the “hot “ maple syrup, the whole dish suffered. We expected better food for the price.

    I met a friend for dinner. The food was great and our server was lovely even though she was very busy. It was very loud and difficult to hear eachother.

    Full transparency- I worked in the restaurant industry for 6 years and I'm told, I am pickier than most. That said-we were immediately greeted by the host. He sat us quickly. Good job. Our service started off great. She answered questions and gave us time to decide. It was a shift change and then she disappeared for the rest of our experience. The espresso martini was a handsome pour. The old fashioned too. We had the Brussel sprouts for an appetizer. They were served by a food runner, hot and fresh from the fryer. They hit the sweet, spicy, savory and bitter notes just right. Yum! Fantatic so far. I ordered red wine to go with my steak. Sadly it arrived after I'd finished eating my meal. BOO! The dry-aged steak was soft, like butter. It was high qualty meat. But it was served cold. I ordered it medium rare, but it should be warm from the grill. I am grateful that they allowed me to substitute green beans for the fench fries. Thank you. They were also served cold. Freshly blanched. Bright green. Tender crisp. Great seasoning. Cold. The cowboy butter was a bit lemmonly for my taste, and should not have been served solidifying. No one wants to dip their steak on solidifying butter. It should have been liquid. Heat is your friend, kitchen staff! My husband's chicken sandwich and fries were served hot and fresh from the fryer, so this was a kitchen timing issue and no fault of the server.There was a food runner running food all night so there is the ability to get it right. And we will be back! We stayed for drinks and the jazz band. I had a sparkling l raspberry cello. It was refreshing and delicious. The band was potent and delightful. I love live jazz and they were exceptionally talented. The menu is small, which will allow them to do things really well. I cannot say enough about the band. That's how we ended up here in the first place. Saw them on Eventbright. Great music. Great drinks. Good food. Terrible service, but potential to be great. Come check them out.

    Delicious brunch menu. Had the cinnamon French toast with maple bourbon syrup … so good! Bacon on the side was cooked perfectly. Mimosa with cranberry juice was delightful !

    This place is usually a great drink spot, but their most popular, the espresso martini was out 😕 this night. No one in my party of 4 enjoyed their meals. I’m kind of surprised this place is busy. Every time I have gone I have left underwhelmed.
