Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday on a Friday night. To be honest I thought it was going to be crowded and to our (pleasant) surprise, it was a quiet evening! The food and drinks were outstanding, the presentation was top notch and the service was great! We’ll definitely be going back!
