My husband and I visited Tavern Co. today at about 1:30 for lunch. It's kind of dark and has weird decor (think Irish bar/hunting lodge), but the menu definitely looked tasty and the prices are reasonable for what seems like higher quality bar food.
We sat down in a very full dining room and our drink orders were taken right away. The waitress/bartender did tell us the kitchen was backed up and there would be a bit of a wait. That was probably the last time she visited our table for 40-45 minutes until our food arrived. Someone else ended up bringing us takeout boxes and our check.
We ordered a chopped wedge salad and a breakfast burrito. The food was good, but I was disappointed that my salad was served on a plate that felt like it just came out of the dishwasher. My salad quickly wilted and turned to liquid. There was also very little in the way of bacon. My husband's burrito was satisfying, but the homemade sausage needed some seasoning. The homefries were also a little undercooked.
Besides the long wait time, the slow service, and the warm salad plate, the other thing that was somewhat off-putting was a number of staff members were eating behind the bar and were served their lunch before the customers, even after the bar had emptied out and there were only a few tables left.
We might go back and check it out at a different time of day. We think they were short staffed and/or some of the staff were hung over because of St. Patrick's Day.
