We had a really lovely dinner out at the white horse tavern. We had a quiet table facing a large romantic fireplace. We got the lobster bisque to start and beef Wellington and chicken statler for entrees. Both meals were very tender. We also split a delicious super Tuscan bottle of wine. Our server Tim was fantastic - attentive and polite. Would recommend WHT for any special occasion.

Overall experience was lovely. Service was great and quality of food excellent. The only negative is the "fireplace" upstairs near the dining area- I smelled heavily of smoke like I had been at a camp fire.

Outstanding experience. Food, ambience, service top-notch. Yes, it’s expensive to a degree but the quality of the food justifies it. You are getting what you pay for.

The White Horse Tavern is always great. The Beef Wellington and the swordfish were outstanding this last time. The staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The wood burning fireplace gave a nice touch on a cold night.

Food, setting, and service were great. Our server Tim was informative and friendly. Both the assistant GM and GM were present and also great to chat with as they checked in. Highly recommended this historic restaurant as it truly lived up to its reputation.

Scott was a great server and the food was good. The building is very historic and quaint. We ate upstairs in the room with the green paint and had a nice view of the fireplace. I would not want a table right next to the fireplace, however, because it does get hot.
