I went to Museum Tavern last night for summerlicious and was really disappointed.
Service: 2/5
When we arrived we asked if there was space on the patio and we were told that there was not, and everyone on the patio just arrived so he wasn't anticipating that there would be space any time soon. So we took a seat inside only to find 2 groups had left the patio 10 minutes later. We would have waited for a patio seat if we had the option as it was a lovely night.
When we were greeted by our waiter he told us that we could only order off the summerlicious menu. But throughout the night, we saw many people ordering burgers (that were not on the summerlicious menu), so I'm not sure why everyone other than us could order off the regular menu...?
Food: 2/5
I had the buttermilk fried chicken as an appetizer and it was good. My food rating would have been 1 if not for the appetizer. My boyfriend got the duck buns and said my appetizer was better. The main course was the maple baby back ribs. I was looking forward to these all day and was very disappointed. They were way too spicy and not cooked very well. Ribs should be falling off the bone if cooked properly - these definitely were not! There was also no plate for the bones or wet naps for us - but that has nothing to do with the food, but more to do with the service. For dessert I had the brownie ice cream cake and my boyfriend had blue berry pie. The pie had no taste and was infinitely better than my cake. The brownie part was so hard that I couldn't cut into it with my spoon. After two bites (my b/f had to cut it for me!) I decided it wasn't worth the effort - and thereby made history, as it was the first time I've EVER declined a dessert!

The restaurant was nice inside but not nice enough for me to return.
