It depends on your priorities. For live music and a lively vibe, Sunday evenings with piano/jazz are a favorite among guests.

Guests mention roomy tables with good spacing and some cozy corner tables that feel private. If you have a seating preference (booth, quieter back table, or outside), request it when you reserve.

Guests note hearty entrees like skirt steak, prime rib, and lobster roll are filling; a few guests found salads or certain appetizers on the smaller side. If you want a larger meal, look for the heartier entrees or share an appetizer and a main.

Busiest: weekend brunches, Friday–Saturday dinners, holiday nights (NYE) and Sunday evenings when live music plays. Quietest: weekday lunches and early weekday dinners tend to be calmer and quicker. If you want a quieter experience, pick a weekday or request a back table away from the tavern area and the entrance.

Sunday is a standout if you enjoy live piano/jazz and a lively, musical evening. For a quieter visit, weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday) are excellent, lunch or early dinner will be less crowded.
