    We were excited to dine at the White Horse Tavern based on their past reviews. The food and service exceeded our high expectations. Every item was fresh and presented perfectly. The taste and texture of the greens and Caesar salad was excellent. The scallop ad swordfish entrees were top shelf.

    Had a wonderful date night at the White Horse Tavern. The cocktails were perfect, wine list excellent, and dinner perfectly cooked. We had Beef Wellington and Diver Scallops, both wonderful. The history and ambience of this place alone make it worth the visit.
