   Our server, Jen from central Pennsylvania, who has worked in food service since age 13, was amazing and awesome. She made the experience really good. We would go back just to be taken care of by her. As for the cuisine, it was so-so.

   Always a good meal, and good service. Reasonably priced, as well.

   The food was good,. The service was really great. The ambiance was okay. It was noisy for a Friday night but to be expected on a Friday night. Parking was a nightmare! We were on the patio- the open-air part where the garage doors are up. The lighting was so dim you couldn't see the menu. The apartment complex across the driveway has a fire burning (we were told) because something smelled like fire. The people next to us were also vaping at their table which was disgusting! Because the patio was open air the staff didn't seem to care. The food was good but pricey for the portion and the quality. My drink was overpriced and not very good, I ordered an old-fashioned fashioned and it was not correct.

   We had a dinner reservation for 5:15 on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was way too loud for my elderly parents to enjoy our conversation. The television volumes were set too high which, paired with loud music, it was just uncomfortable. We were seated at a table with the sun shining brightly in my eyes. We asked the waitress (who was very pleasant) to see if a shade could be pulled down and it took quite a long time for her to return and tell us the manager said there is no shade but we could move our table. She then had to go back to speak with someone to find out which table we could move to. So. we were sitting with the sun in my eyes for a long time. I thought it was not great common sense for staff to then seat a party at that same sunny table, right after we moved. They then asked to move their table as well. It was unfortunate that my parents and I didn't enjoy the evening as much as we'd hoped, mainly due to the high noise volume in the restaurant. It wasn't even a full restaurant either, so that buzz wasn't even the issue. Our waitress was very nice, but the length of time it took her to figure out the sun/table issue, was disappointing. We all thought the food was delicious!

   The atmosphere is lovely and we sat outside on the patio overlooking the Quinn. Our service was fine the food was decent nothing overly exciting. We started with Crab Rangoon dip which was okay it seemed like the dip was lacking something as it tasted rather bland and was not exciting to the taste buds. The steak tips were good and cooked to temperature along with the garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. They had a decent char and taste again nothing that will blow your taste buds away. Overall a safe bet for a decent meal The only weird thing is there is no salt and pepper at the outside tables.

   We went to Tavern on the Square in Shrewsbury to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. We were a party of 6 with a reservation and were seated immediately in an outdoor table at the corner of the patio where we requested a lower noise level as we have hearing sensitive members. We had an amazing server who was very fun, energetic and attentive. Food was excellent, drinks were delicious, and we will definitely be back again!

    We had a pleasant experience. We sat and got caught up on all that our group had been doing. The service was great and very efficient. Alexis really made sure we were well cared for - And the food and beverages were great!
