Town Tavern

"First visit ever. Best fries I've had in a while. Cuban was excellent. Craft beer selection was okay. Service was very friendly but speed was erratic (drinks could have been taken care of more quickly; food delivery was great). Prices were slightly higher than expected, particularly on the beer (Maine Lunch price was highest I've ever seen). But overall, the experience was very good and we'd be happy to return in the future."

"First time in the city and at the tavern. I had the chicken la mesa which I thought was fried chicken salad. The chicken was undercooked a little for me but I ate some of it because I was hungry. It wasn't a breast but thigh meat, not a big problem. I hated the sour yogurt dressing and the artificial bacon bits! I just wasn't that impressed for $22. I'll try a burger next time."

"We found Town Tavern online when looking for a place to meet a friend visiting home from California. This place was between our homes and fit the criteria (full bar, diverse selection of food) As you enter the restaurant it is open and welcoming. Our server, Clenilson D was personable and knowledgable with the questions we asked. We started with drinks and an order of fries while we decided on lunch. The fries were insane. They were hand-cut, cooked to perfection and seasoned with the right amount of salt. The malt vinegar elevated them to the next level. For our meal we each ordered a burger. I ordered the bacon cheddar burger, while my husband and friend each ordered the Tavern Burger. The burgers were excellent and highly satisfying. We finished our meal with a cappuccino, which was also excellent. We planned on leaving, but decided to stop at the bar and have 1 more drink. The bartender, I think her name was Aubrey, was friendly and helpful as we tried to decide on what to order for shots. After her description of the Peppermint Martini we ordered those. They were rimmed in crushed candy cane and had a mini candy cane on the side. They made me feel like we were in a Christmas movie. Probably a Lifetime Christmas movie because Hallmark isn't big on alcohol drinks. This will be our go to for our annual Christmas lunch with our friend and we may even go down during the year. Merry Christmas and thank you for the great meal and drinks."

"HOLY expensive.. but the flavor is there! Definitely the best shrimp I’ve had in all of Boston. My friend got the fish and chips.. which clearly wasn’t as flavorful as my dish.. but generally pretty great for fried fish.. batter could be improved with seasoning and consistent leveled ratio of batter/fish.. I would prefer to rate this 3.5.. Both my friend and I didn’t leave feeling full.. but already spent over $33 per plate before tip.."
