Terrific cocktails, attentive service (except, as seems prevalent everywhere, when it comes time to settle the tab - you’d think it’d be the opposite). Convenient ample parking. Ambiance not the greatest when there are loud customers adjacent, but I put that to “socio-economic entitlement”. (As an aside, one finds this entitlement when driving through Tenafly. Every 4-way stop is a ‘Thunderdome’ experience). Pricey but fine for a special occasion. Food’s not wow but flavorful and well prepared.

The food was absolutely fantastic and so was the ambience. Service was a little bit forgetful for nonalcoholic beverages, as well as coming to take and deliver the check… We were very uncomfortable with the photographer coming around who kept insisting on taking our picture even though we said we didn't want to. And then, when we finally agreed, he came back and tried to sell us framed images. It felt very invasive of our dining experience and I would highly recommend Preserving something like that for when there is a club night or something that is not a family trying to enjoy their meal out.

Tavlin is great. Relatively quiet. Food is always fresh and good. It is my "go to" place in Bergen County for a meat meal.
