Grand Tavern never disappoints. The food is phenomenal. Creative and always delicious. The cocktails are expertly crafted and not something you would or could easily throw together at home. If you are in doubt after reading the menu descriptions, just ask Erin (the bartender) for her opinion on food and/or drink. She is a master at her craft and is equally as skilled in knowing what the kitchen is whipping up. In edition to being talented, Erin is the perfect blend of friendly, wry and attentive without being intrusive. She makes Grand Tavern that much more special.
