Three girlfriends and I wanted a close-by spot for a girls' night out so we selected Hickory Tavern.
It was a Friday night so we anticipated a wait but quickly found a high-top table in the bar area. The hostesses were not extremely friendly with their greetings but we found seating on our own. Our waitress was attentive and responsive. Appetizers came pretty quickly and so did our first round of drinks. The waitress seemed confused by some questions posed to her and misinformed one of my friends about wing preparation but overall her service was "ok".
The spinach and artichoke dip was really good but had a high chip-to-dip ratio. A little larger portion of dip would have been great. Three of us ordered wings which were rather tasty. My customary small Tavern salad was great as always. And the drink special was wonderful, $5 fireball shots (can't ever go wrong with fireball shots).
Food was better than the overall service and we will definitely go back to our "neighborhood" spot.
