A photo of Tavern in the Square - Shrewsbury restaurant
4.7
Exceptional(1194)
$$$$
• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service • Shrewsbury
Booked 46 times today
TSQ Shrewsbury is a great place for a drink and dinner. Due to our Open Table reservation for three, we were immediately seated. There would have been a 30 minute wait otherwise. We had an Allagash, Kona Wave and Shilling Pils promptly served by our friendly waitress. Tortellini Bolognese, fish and chips and steak and cheese sandwich rounded out our dining choices. All were served hot and prepared perfectly. It was a very busy Friday evening and the noise level was high but appropriate for the end of the week. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We enjoyed Russel House. We sat in the outdoor heated area and it was just perfect. We enjoyed the cocktails and the food. The Brussels sprouts appetizer was excellent as well as the hake, salmon and pappardelle. The service was wonderful. Great location near Harvard. We would go back.

With it's limited but well-prepared offering and café ambiance, Café St. Germaine creates a little bit of Paris in a busy corner of Somerville/Cambridge. It's a neighborhood gem.

Once again we had an exceptional evening at the Burlington Capital Grille! We were there for a special celebration and we could not have been happier with the service and the meal. Our evening was perfect. We were seated in our favorite spot! We had our favorite server, Byron. Byron always elevates our experience each time we dine. Our favorite Restaurant Manager, Adam was there - he actually was on his way home but made sure to stop by to speak to us before he left the Restaurant. These gentlemen are both exceptional at what they do. We never feel like patrons when we dine there. We are always made to feel like family! Thank you both for an amazing evening.

Booked 5 times today
First time either large group and enjoyed very much. We have been regulars at another place in Waltham but decided to change it up because you are a better location. We all found the place more than location. Much cleaner, better menu, more room and food much better. Service was also terrific. Both the waitress and runners did great job. We will be back! Thanks for great service and hospitality.

We had an amazing time at Grafton Street on an early Sunday evening with two toddlers! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating and got my toddler's mac & cheese out super quickly. The food and cocktails were all outstanding--apple cider braised farro was SO good. Overall, I was super impressed.
