| - Tavern Americana delivers what it promises nearly flawlessly. To start with, Tavern Americana is exactly as the name implies - a tavern-like setting serving American tavern-like food. There is a bar and a bar eating area with high-top tables, and an adjacent standard dining area with booths and tables. Both are noisy, but not so bad that you can't have a conversation. Everything is new and perfectly clean. The service is prompt, friendly, and attentive to just the right degree. The prices are surprisingly moderate.
And the food is spot on - at least what we tasted, which included a flavorful pizza, a salad, and a burger (good, but the least successful of the lot due to under-seasoning).
But it is the "little" things which differentiate Tavern Americana from the crowd. For example, the beer was properly chilled and poured correctly (just the right head). For example, when we ordered a half salad and split that, they brought it in two bowls with a separate dressing cup for each. And, I didn't have to ask for ketchup (home-made I believe).
Hint: We went on a Wednesday evening and it was full but not overflowing. Reservations are a good idea any day of the week.
