| - This is more a taverna than a tavern. It's not just a watering hole, as the name Tavern suggests, but a community place to taste and linger over great food, with a bit of a drink if you like.
But then the decor shows some trouble getting an identity. It has old cross country skis and hockey sticks along the side and lovely redone and rescued industrial wood on the tables . Is this a sports bar, I asked. It's still developing its identity, I was told.
I tried the kobe burger, my first ever. It was delicious. My friend had a melted cheese. What we noticed was that the tomato sauce was not industrial ketchup in a bottle. It was made in the kitchen.
This ain't no tavern!!! This is a place for serious food.
They should have theme decor for what they are-- a taverna. In my ebook, Food for City Building, I argue that neighborhoods need restaurants that are a "third place" -- after home and work, a place in the 'hood where you can be yourself, meet friends, eat healthy and affordably. That's what this place can be.
