Waitress and staff service was great with welcoming ambience Food tasted fantastic but actual portion was less than expected on porter house for 2 given the price. Will go back again and would recommend to others.

Had a nice early Sunday dinner with the family. Was able to sit in a booth while watching the football game. As always the food was delicious and the service was spot on. As an added bonus, we had received a text with a coupon for a percentage off our Sunday dinner!!!

This restaurant is absolutely incredible! From the mouthwatering dishes to the outstanding staff, every experience is a delight. The dry-aged steaks are a true highlight—they melt in your mouth like rich, buttery goodness. You won’t want to miss it!

Tavern 18 is our go-to restaurant. This week we went over three times!! Thursday half price steak night is a great bargain! As always, the food is delicious, the staff are attentive, and the manager Bruno makes it a point to say hello and clearly appreciates his customers. So happy to have this local gem in our neighborhood!!

Yes, it can sound crazy to say $126 for a steak is a bargain, but here, it kind of is exactly that. It's their 42 oz Porterhouse for two. It's served sizzling on a cast iron platter, with two different ramekins of excellent sauce (chimichurri and Port wine reduction) along with -- and here's why it's a bargain compared to other steakhouses -- two side dishes. At so many other places they charge $10 to $15 for each side. More importantly, the steak was excellent. And we still had a nice portion to take home.
