Customer Reviews
I hosted my daughter‘s sweet 16 birthday party at the historic Bank building at Cantwell’s Tavern in early December. We opted for the brunch buffet, and it was absolutely fabulous! We went with a Pancakes and Pajamas theme for the party and Cantwells knocked it out of the park! The guests raved about the food, the customer service was excellent, the space is stunning, and the price was more than fair. Morgan, the banquet manager, was also incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive, flexible, and went above and beyond to make sure that my daughter‘s birthday party was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend Cantwells enough!
Very quiet area. A little history, this building used to be an old hotel. They have bar seating upstairs and downstairs available. There is only 1 bathroom upstairs and it has a urinal and toilet. I am unsure of anu bathrooms upstairs. We enjoyed the old fashioneds we had in the bar area as well as a beer flight. They have a rotating beer list. The bar stools had no backs but we did enjoy the bar area. They also offered specials in the bar. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was good. My chicken sandwich was a bit dry and I thought the menu said it has coleslaw on it but there was none with it. The French onion soup had good flavor but it was loaded with croutons and little onions found.
This was me and my boyfriends first time dining here and it was great. We ordered the Jerk Mahi Mahi and the Beef Brisket. We also got their Key Lime pie to go for desert and it was amazing. My boyfriend also ordered the apple pie martini and he said it was delicious as well. Also our server Yana was great!
We recently hosted our daughter’s baby shower at The Historic Bank in Odessa, Delaware, with catering by Cantwell’s Tavern, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! From booking the venue to the final slice of the beautiful two-tier cake being cut, everything truly was a piece of cake. The planning process was seamless, the food was delicious, and the service was professional and attentive. Our guests are still talking about how lovely everything was. A very special thank you to Morgan, Director of Special Events. Her support, organization, and attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free and joyful. I highly recommend Cantwell’s Tavern for any special event — they helped make this milestone celebration so memorable for our family!
Stopped at this quaint restaurant for dinner while traveling. Historic building turned pub/tavern vibe. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was better than average. My husband had the salmon BLT. My daughter had the Big Mac burger, and I had the BBQ ranch turkey burger. The seasonal cheesecake was chocolate chip and tasted like a chocolate chip cookie. The key lime pie was light and tangy. The desserts were definitely the best part of the meal.
