| - I was asked to organize an informal dinner gathering for our office, and decided to go with Hickory Tavern. We had between 25 - 30 people RSVP so, I wanted to make sure to choose a place that served something for everyone. The menu is good in this respect - plenty of appetizer options, salads, sandwiches, and all sorts of entrees.
They pulled several tables together for our group, and the only downside was that the tables were all in a line so it was a bit tough to socialize with folks at the other end of the table. I am not sure how to best configure the tables, but I didn't really like the way it was set up.
The only other problem was that we had 2 servers assigned to our table, but we still found the service to be a little hit or miss. I expected a much higher level of service for a "corporate outing" where we were ordering plenty of drinks, apps, and dinner.
The other disappointing thing is that we had our event on a Thursday night, so there was some sort of ladies night event going on. This would not be a problem, except there was an abnormal amount of bar noise and constant annnouncements over a PA system. This wasn't very conducive to conversation at the table. I would consider giving them another shot for a future outing, but I would definitely avoid the ladies night and would want to check out how to better set up the tables for a group event.
