Delish!! Definitely going back. Serving sizes are huge. Brisket was super tender and the greens are a must. Amy was our server and was very attentive but not a hoverer.

So fun! Our waitress (Shona) told us the story of the beginning of the restaurant. She also gave us great recommendations. We loved all the food and I loved the Margarita Swirl. Was a great time with my husband of 44 years.

Food was great. Service was on point. Atmosphere is excellent. Prices are a little outrageous, have gone up a little too much. Would love to go more often, but if the prices keep going up, I will go to a different restaurant.

Particularly with a gentle December snow and the Christmas decor of the square …. there is no better place than Talbott Tavern. Thank you, Bethany, for your great service and energy.
