We had a lovely experience at the new Tavern on Rush!! This was our first time at the new location and it exceeded expectations! The restaurant was very crowded, given the holiday season, but the service and food was top notch! Noelle was our server and she tended to our every need with a smile! The cocktails were delicious and the French red that we selected from the extensive wine list was also amazing. Noelle helped us plan our meal, including steak and sides and all were fabulous! The "welcome mini-martini" was a very nice touch, and one I've not seen before. We will definitely be back!!

We chose omakase at the counter. It was a nice, relaxed pace. I don't remember how many courses, but we were very happy at the end. Each bite was delicious. The Spanish mackerel was the winner. All of the fish was extremely fresh and delicate.
