First time here for a catered event with dinner for 600 people. Beautiful entrance & chandeliers. Lots of space for parking, well organized , great appetizers, nice salad, but dinner was a bit salty for my liking & the chicken was dry even after some friends added gravy to the chicken. Hence the four stars.

Stopped here for lunch & was pleasantly surprised. Great service , excellent lunch selection & fantastic fresh food! Waitresses were friendly & patient while she explained the dishes to my friend.

We stopped here for dinner with some friends. Sitting in the dining room was a bit chilly & I didn’t remove my jacket or thick vest till after the appetizers were served & the fireplace was lit. My friends did mention that both restrooms were freezing. Our appetizers arrived in the appropriate amount of time. Both the cheddar cheese tots & spring rolls were miles in flavor & the dipping sauce was bland. The Pub salad was good with canned mandarin oranges on top, the Pastrami Rubin was on the smallish side (this may be do to where in the loaf of bread its at) with no sides to accompany it, our fiends enjoyed the rigatoni with meat sauce (shared the dish for an additional $2- fee). We will be back to try the onion soup.

Stopped by the Tavern with five friends after a day at the flea market. We were seated quickly (no reservations needed) and the raised long table. Two of my 6’ plus tall friends mentioned some discomfort as there was no place to rest their legs. Between the five of us we ordered- appetizers:oysters x 2 , rolls x 2, pork belly bites and the entrees were: salmon, muscles & burgers. The pork belly sandwiches looked terrific. The rolls & butter (non flavored) are spectacular with the rock salt on top of both. Half dozen oysters were wonderful. And everyone loved their burgers. I requested med rare salmon & personally I thought it was more med to well & a bit dry for my liking… the muscle dish was very good according to a friend. He didn’t offer to share, so I would say it must have been very good. The tap beers were excellent according to the gents.
The ambience is wonderful, staff knowledgeable & friendly answering all out questions. My only gripe is there was no onion soup. The menu changes daily & I wish (along with three other members in my group) that there was onion soup daily plus a soup dejour as tomato bisque was not a favorite for any of us on Saturday afternoon. I would say with five -six beers, two sodas & two waters plus our plates the bill was close to $240.00 including the tip. You won’t be disappointed, food and service are above the local eateries and if you have a chance to walk around outside the grounds are beautiful!

Ash Wednesday Mass was all that it was expected it to be. Beautiful church, great service & friendly parishioners .
