    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!!

    We were celebrating a birthday. Asked for something special but the only extra provided was a menu that said happy birthday. The restaurant manager went around to many tables but only passed by us and never checked in. The appetizers were great but the entre, a porterhouse for two, was not that good. The steak had a bacon taste, something I have never experienced with a porterhouse steak at any steakhouse. The service was a bit slow and I only had my waitress attending to us although she mentioned having a partner that never materialized. I have been to Morton’s various times and have never had a great experience.

    First time there and was not disappointed! Staff was friendly and attentive! The food was outstanding in both preparation and in service. While the bar area was noisy (crowded, always a good sign), we didn’t experience noise issues as the dining room is separated by a full wall which blocked out nearly all of the sound. Highly recommended if you love Cajun food!
