    Our first time at BT. was an enjoyable evening. Our server DeSantis, I hope I got that right, my apologies was very attentive and gave us plenty of time, which was good. My Sweetheart had the steak tips which were really good with .ashed potatoes and broccoli, and I got Ma's Meatloaf that was good ,4 , 1/2" slices with mashed and broccoli as well. I was hoping for a little more meat but otherwise it was good. We got chicken nachos for app which was good and filling d. Plenty of chicken, salsa, sour cream, and got extra guacamole too. For dessert we chose the chocolate chipped banana bread with ice cream and whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and warmed, that was really good and hearty. Our server was very friendly , personable , and a pleasure to get to know a little. A good visit for our first time at this establishment. Thank you.

    I had the seafood casserole. One of the best I ever had. Good sized sea scallops and shrimp. The haddock had body and was not just little pieces falling apart. The breadcrumbs were light and did not overwhelm the dish. It came with mash potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were nicely grilled just right and tasty. Nice atmosphere and service.

    Ordered teriyaki salmon with a change in sides . Food came with teriyaki on the fish ,mashed potatoes and veggies. Looked pretty unappetizing. The waitress did bring a side of mashed potatoes after i commented on the dish. Salmon was just okay. My wife had the haddock and it was also just okay. The waitress was very pleasant and understood my issue. She gave the salmon at half price.

    Hi Rich, I am so sorry that you didn't enjoy your meal this is great feedback for us to take the time and look in on both of those meals since they are two of our best sellers! We hope you'll give us another chance and if you do please ask for the Manager on Duty!

    We have returned here again for our pre-wedding anniversary celebration. 53 years ago this was the location of the Chanticleer restaurant. It is great to visit and reminisce. This restaurant is charming and the staff is welcoming. We had a wonderful meal from appetizer to dessert. Zoe, our wait person, was friendly, professional and welcoming. She is an asset for the Bradford Tavern. We expect to be back next year, if not sooner.
    Bradford TavernResponded on July 11, 2024
    We are so happy you choose us to celebrate such a wonderful milestone in your life! We look forward to seeing you again and we are also huge fans of Zoe!
