My boyfriends been bugging me to go to Tavern 245 anytime we're wondering where to go. I finally caved and did it.
The atmosphere is beautiful. 1st floor bar is small and intimate but very well decorated. Second floor is more open and welcoming and great seating. We took the first floor seating so we could chat with the bartender.
The menu IS small, we both got hamburgers.
Boyfriend opinion: One of the best burgers I've ever had, pittsburgh rare done PERFECTLY. Fries were a little too salty. Cannot wait to go back and try the sliders.
My opinion: I got a rather plain burger, because none of the ones they had appealed to me. I thought the burger itself was really tasty and well done. I got it cooked pretty well, the bartender/waiter said I should try it medium. He was right, and I will do that next time. Definately cannot wait to get those sliders in my belly they sound absolutely divine. The service was a little slow (my burger was cooked well, so that explains a lot). They make everything fresh, and to have fresh food that tastes good... I'll take a little longer service for that.
For being relatively new, they're doing very well for themselves. They're a little hidden on the corner but I think once word gets out people will start going.
Seriously... the sliders sound incredible. I cannot wait to eat them.
