I waited to review Hickory Tavern because I really wanted to love this place. I have now been 6 times and had only 1 positive experience. The service is terrible! We sat at the bar and a drink was spilled at a bar table behind us. It splattered all over my purse, phone and shirt. Not one employee made a move to clean up the mess or ask if I needed a towel. My husband alerted the hostess and 10 minutes later the spill was still there. My beer was empty for 10+ minutes our food had had not arrived after 20 minutes (raw oysters and wings). I hate to give negative reviews (this is my 2nd ever) but this place needs new management and staff! Sad because i tip 30-40%...
