    What an excellent restaurant. It was an outstanding dining experience. The food was spectacular, and the service was superb. Owner, Ken, is always there to greet and welcome you. You cannot go wrong here. Also experience Ethan who is always there to make sure it is an extraordinary experience.

    Friar Tuck's is a wonderful local restaurant for us, and the first place we think of when we want to go out for an occasion. They decor is varied enough that it feels like there are separate "areas" within the restaurant, and the bar conveniently does not intrude in any way. They've had live music each time we've been there, and the food is always delicious. You won't go hungry!

    They were really busy but ran out of standard menu items way too soon. No filets, no potatoes mashed which came with almost every dish. I think the chef or manager wasn’t prepared properly.

    Great food, but individual tables were uncomfortably close together, waitstaff were almost running into each other.

    We made a reservation for Tuesday, February 4th for my wife's birthday. All seemed ok and normal until we arrived. Upon arrival, we were told that the restaurant was closed, as it had been the previous night. We could settle to eat a very limited menu in the bar, if we decided that is what we wanted to choose from. I realize that the restaurant industry is still reeling from the challenges brought about by Covid, but there is no excuse for accepting reservations for a day that operations were suspended.

    We had a Saturday reservation at 7:00 for a party of 6 , all hoping to have filet mignon as an entree . We were told they only had one left? Early in the evening sad way to start also told they were out of ranch dressing and chocolate cake? Added a 20% tip to our bill for a “large party” which I didn’t think was deserved. I would have given 12-15%? Food was tasty but not exceptional. Don’t think I would go back . Our bill was $575.
