   Love this sports restaurant. Great place for a fun family dinner given the excellent food and sports screens. I also have a child with Celiac and this is a good place for her to eat. Everything is labelled and the waitress was very accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant, especially for gluten-free people. My only complaint is it's loud, but that also makes it lively.

   Fun spot with energy. Our waiter was cranky. He wasn’t just cranky.

   Poor service can really make or break an experience and sadly, this is the second time we’ve had the misfortune of having this particular server. I thought the first time was a one-off. Interestingly, his demeanor seems to vary based on how much melanin is at the table.

   My wife and I prefer pubs and usually shy away from "chain" type of restaurants. But our daughters are both big Tavern In the Square fans and they've gradually also convinced us as well. This particular location is our favorite despite there being one or two that are closer. This one is a solid 35-45 minute drive for us but it is well worth it. Visited a couple of times (plus once just for drinks at the bar). The staff are all so nice and the service we receive (we always request same server) is literally second to none. Food is very good and the portions are quite large - certainly enough to have a second meal at home. They really have an excellent bar selection too. I usually order bourbon and they have a lot of choices. We will continue to keep this place in our rotation.

   Michelle was inattentive and slow. It took 45 minutes to get 2 cheeseburgers, thank goodness we got an appetizer. Many tables were vacated after the Patriots game and not cleared for up to 35 minutes. We frequent Tavern at least 2x per month due to my partner having severe Celiac. That said, it is quickly dropping off our 'go to' list - we frequent both Dedham and Littleton restaurants. Worst experience yet, and we have attended Tavern for 3+ years.

   I made a reservation for my birthday and it wasn’t acknowledged at all. Also their parking lot was like an ice skating rink. Thick ice covering the entire lot.

    Great brunch! We’ll be back for brunch again! Highly recommends the eggs Benedict and bubbles and berries cocktail!
