TavCo used to be the place to go for those "too good to be true" specials that actually were true. It was the kind of place that you would think, "this can only exist in Cleveland." Then the ownership changed. At first I was promised that the new owner would keep everything the same. How many times has that been said when a bar changed ownership?
TavCo has attempted to go upscale. Once the kitchen renovation was complete a new menu appeared with the now popular "upscale pub" fare. Meh. I never wished TavCo would change. I liked it exactly the way it always was. Now I don't feel excited about the prospect of going here anymore. It's not like I won't pop in occasionally or suggest it as a meeting place for a quick drink, but it's not the place it used to be.
