    Amazing. The taste was wonderful, every dish was very good. The wine also is so good. Cocktails are good, but not amazing, presentation of cocktails is quite normal. But the food, attention and wine was so good. I definitely recommend it. The taste the Christmas menu and was so good. And the pasta with cheese for my little one also wonderful

    A holiday dinner with good friends was wonderful ... food wine service! But halfway through the meal a large party of 8 already lit with "cheer" was sat next to us in one of Tabard's smaller rooms and we could no longer hear each other. So we left before dessert. I realize that restaurants can't predict their patrons' behavior but in this instance re had to exit through a nearby small room which was empty and had a table that would have accommodated the group. Too bad!

    What the heck. This place was quite the surprise. It blew us away. The food was surprisingly good. We ordered several different times, and each time the food came out fresh, hot, quickly, and looked like an artist put it together. The jumbo shrimp with cilantro goodness was amazing. Calamari better than it should have been. The service was amazing. The prices? Way too low. Happy hour prices are ridiculous. I mean so ridiculously low. I think maybe they just love people. I’m not sure. I’d make this my go to spot if I lived here.
