Tavern 27

"Wow! We just left and I have to say the unexpected stop here was so worth it! Their house-tinis were yummy. The Mac-n-chēz dishes (one with fried chicken, the other with brisket) were very tasty. But the best part was the owners and other patrons. They make you feel like family. Couple that with the atmosphere and you have a helluva cozy place to spend several hours not even realizing that time flew by. Thank you for everything, Ann & Sweetness"

"Such an amazing location for happy hour or snacks and drinks! Went and had an amazing martini and tavern fries. Bringing a quart of soup home with me. Can't wait to come back. The menu is easily altered to meet dietary restrictions."

"I decided to sleep on my experience before I shared this tale. I don't like to trash places but I feel it's my obligation to others to share the truth and let the chips fall where they may. First, it was pitch black driving to this tavern and once I got there, the sign out front said, Dancing Rabbit Something. So I thought, "Well, I must be at the wrong place." I continued to drive north for over a mile realizing then it must have been the place. Either change the sign or change the business name to Dancing Rabbit. The area outside entrance was dimly lit and my wife and I took our time looking straight down to make sure we'd not trip. Once inside the old home, we found my daughter and her boyfriend sitting at a tall table with stools. The table was wobbly and as my wife tried to use it to help climb up to the stool, she caused an earthquake that made my daughter's cocktail splash all over the table. Not a great way to start the dining experience. The waitress was very pleasant. She took our orders and soon the food came out. Everything except the flatware was disposable. My brisket chili was served in a 16 oz cardboard carryout container respite with the cardboard lid. The chili was very spicy and I enjoyed it. As the dinner wore on, my wife's legs became numb because her stool had no place to support your feet. My stool was made for a person weighing 120 pounds or less and was exceedingly uncomfortable. The salt and pepper is a community set that evidently is shared among tables. I've never seen that before at a restaurant. How expensive are those tiny glass salt and pepper shakers with the stainless-steel caps? Finally, when I got the bill, I almost had a heart attack. It seemed like a very big number for four people who got four cups of soup/chili, a small plate of popcorn shrimp, two generous orders of mac and cheese, two cocktails and two lemonades. The only reason I'll go back here is to try to play the 9-hole par-3 golf course. Perhaps the dinner fare is better in the high season that runs from the end of May until when the leaf-peepers go back home. I don't know. I'll be very interested to read your review should you go here one day or night."

"Amazing! The food was excellent and the owner was super nice. You can tell she truly cares about providing a safe meal for people with food allergies. Super laid back atmosphere and great blues music playing inside the martini bar."

"Ended up here because our first choice closed earlier than expected, then waited for reservations and boy was that fortuitous and worth it. The owner seated us by the fire, each dish was exquisite and perfectly seasoned, the staff was attentive, the drinks were solid, and the piano player was the unexpected perfect touch that tied it all together. Then the bill arrived. My companion and I had been discussing what we expected the bill to be, given this was two adults not holding back, having alcohol and desert. The check was half of what he ballparked. If you are in the area and you are looking for an elevated dining experience, you must go to Tavern 27."
