Food was delicious, however steaks a bit overcooked. We were a table of 8 though so understandable to a degree. Beware of getting a parking spot during peak busy times, we had to circle the parking lot continuously for 20 minutes. Made us late for our reservation so had to run in and advise staff. One male staff member in particular was incredibly helpful and took care of us very well, the woman operating bar outside was a bit cold no smiles or customer service vibes. Scenery was beautiful and very well decorated and lovely atmosphere. Outside dining area is heated and perfect even during a cooler night. Overall I would go back, however perhaps during a quieter time for a lunch perhaps, as the place was so busy it was hard to move around the venue

We have just enjoyed the experience of Micawber Tavern for the second time in a few weeks. Each time as a group of four, and different friends each time. We have all been very pleased with the food, ambience and friendly helpful staff. The building and surrounds are a surprise, with lots of options for environment and comfort. We have no hesitation in recommending Micawber Tavern.

Such a cute little tavern in Belgrave. With a lovely outdoor area to sit by the creek, to an older style charming indoor area- you could pick which vibe u were after. Food was delish & service was fast. Will definitely be coming back.
