The Academy Tavern has long been a staple of the Larchmere neighborhood. They have recently overhauled their menu and updated the decor. The place was always good. Now it is fantastic! Although the new menu has banished some of the old Academy standbys, you will find them replaced with an amazing selection. Everything from the side salad to the Academy Burger has seen major improvements. The ingredients are extremely fresh and the new chef is top notch. You can usually expect to see the owner, Sam, somewhere in the joint chatting up the regulars. Make sure you say hi and tell him what you think of the place. I highly recommend a visit. Stop in for a beer and a sandwich or a full on meal. You will not be disappointed.
