| - I have eaten here several times in the past few years . A nice clean atmosphere to dine to include buffet events. The current chef aims to please and prepare food in a small limited kitchen.
The food from past and present chefs has improved but what lacks is the wait staff.
The somewhat limited menu offers foods such as a fish ,chicken and a steak dish, french onion soup, soup of the day, several salads and several appetizers.
Basic easy desserts like brownies , cheesecake and ice cream
Our meal from a few months ago was almost a turning point not to return. Our appetizers, soup salads plus main course all were served together after a 45 minute wait.The waitress had to be asked to refill our waters. As we were eating, she laid our checks on the table never asking if we wanted dessert or coffee.
Our dining mates said the food was okay ( fried fish special, a grilled steak, soup , salad) , all nothing special though food was brought out hot and plated nicely.
In the past we attended a private party in a separate private rented room.
6 pm dinner turned into an 8 pm dinner because one of the wait staff that was hired for the party was removed to the main dining room to help with restaurant dinner service.
However we have in the past enjoyed buffet meals and dinners here.
So even though our experiences have been varied with inconsistency of quality and wait staff service, we would certainly try another time.
The new chef we met has a challenge using the small limited kitchen that probably was never intended for extensive culinary preparation. He intends to improve menu choices etc.
Stand by for future updates because we will try some future meals again
Update: from 3 to 4 stars rating.
We have recently eaten here and invited out for karaoke night , an event which used to be a regular feature at Tavern on the Lakes . The place was packed . We were surprised that we had attentive waitress service since in the past service was an issue not so much the food .
The food was very good and tasty, came out in good portions, nicely plated, and hot. However, whatever was ordered such as salad, appetizer and entree all came out at the same time .
The noise level here was so loud it was hard to talk with each-other at the table .
Menu prices reasonable, beer and wine menu, overall more menu choices added.
We did enjoy ourselves and probably would return again.
UPDATE: May 2018 now 5 stars. we have eaten here again, last year and this year for Passover Seder and most recently for Mother's Day Brunch. Buffets all good. Hard to please everyone but something for everyone. Salad, potato, green vegetable brisket just to name a few at March's buffet. Brisket at buffet in March tender but very salty for many tastes. Desserts usually berries and whip cream and macaroon cookies.
Today's Mothers day buffet, one of the best so far : deviled eggs, chicken salad in croissants, waffles, quiches
bacon, green salad, baked salmon, roast beef with, mushroom gravy, steamed broccoli and carrots, sour cream coffee cake, and a beautiful dessert table just to name the highlights.
Food was tasty and hot. Salmon tender, beef mostly tender, neither over salted. Chicken salad delish.
Everything cooked and baked on the premises.
The 4 of us thought the coffee cake was the best pastry, tender and moist
Wait staff efficient and accommodating.
Price with tax and gratuity about $32 per person.
Food displayed nicely, hot food served hot.
All in all a wonderful buffet. Most recent photos taken today on main page of Tavern on The Lakes
