I went to a birthday party there last night. First time in the Tavern. Terrific ambience. Wait staff was friendly, and efficient. But the food (my veggie scampi) was over the top tasteful Will go back there for dinner some time soon.

The Great Danny Meyer asks the question, is it the Service or the Food? Fortunately for us it's both at the Tavern. In all my years of Dining at this Gem they give you the feeling of Community and Consistency. The new Menu and Chef put out 5 entrees and appetizers of perfection. They have stepped it up even more to our liking. Go and see for yourselves, and become part of a special place. Thank you JB

Friendly service, great food, and good tap selection of NE beers. Some of the best raw oysters I've had in a while!

A local favorite spot in Washington Square with great, elevated American bistro food. This spot is likely more like a 4.5/5 but the service is always phenomenal-- Jerry the owner is the best and always gets to know the customers! Food can be a bit expensive compared to the competition, but the quality always delivers. Highly recommend!

Great spot for casual dinner or date night. Tastefully decorated with a picture window through a book case for the kitchen or a turn of the century bar top. The staff were friendly and attentive. Food was comfort items overall and also well done. There was some variability in the salt of each dish, but it was on the side of needing a little extra salt for our taste which was easily remedied.

High end Irish style pub. Spendy, but this is Brookline. That being said....the food and cocktails are on point. Beet salad, corn fritters, steak, and my dessert were amazing. Staff lovely and accommodating. Great bar, small dining room l, some outdoor seating as well. Would be a good date place.

Wonderful tavern with friendly owner. My friends and I sat outside on a Spring evening and soaked up the atmosphere. We started with salad, then ordered halibut and eggplant parmesan. The food was great. We had an excellent bottle of Barolo. Gerry the owner stopped by and chatted with us. We had a lovely time. Thank you, Gerry !

Food, owner, and old Boston neighborhood bar charm! What more could you ask for? We entered in which the owner was chatting with regulars. He recognized people in my party and began to chat with them. They hadn't been back there for years. That speaks volumes about someone who remembers his customers what's later. Clearly, they value everyone that walks through their doors. On top of the quick service the food was unreal! My husband got a special pork chop dish that was so tender and flavorful and I got the bolognese which had a great spice and was very filling. I couldn't eat the whole portion so I took a to got box, was just as good the next day! A must visit again!
