    Great location, great food. Just so noisy inside at a too big table to be able to talk very well.

    Many people booked outside seating as did we and then the rain started and everyone requested inside. The wait staff, hostess and every other employee hustled to get everyone seated in a short time. They did an amazing job. Food was tasty, limited selection but solid on flavor. Our server was wonderful. Tavern on the Square is always on our list for dining during our annual summer visits.

    Marginal food, great service, beautiful view. Probably best just for snacks and cocktails. Sadly, we were there for dinner. Ordered the calamari appetizer which came with 6 pieces of calamari along with some friend zucchini and a small cold potato. When we ask about it, the waitress told us they only give six pieces because they have the other stuff on the plate. Hugely disappointing. Burgers and salads were ok.

    Great time relaxing, not rushed, with vocals from a nearby restaurant to add to the ambiance. Great night!
