Potentially my favorite experience at a restaurant. The food was very good and the experience in the game room was unmatched. Specifically, Andrea was the most amazing waitress. She was super attentive, fun, and high energy throughout the entirety of our 4 hour reservation. She was hands down the best waitress I have ever had. I would highly recommend her and would love to see her in the future. Amazing 10/10 time with friends!

Had alot of fun playing with very engaging DM. "Akash A." really made a night for us! Drink selections are pretty good too. Only tried the tots on the food menu so far but its one of those meh..... Still highly recommend anyone to stop by and give this play a try. Will definitely be back more often! Friday & Saturday for DnD runs... alot of event basically.

I cannot recommend attending a Magic: The Gathering event at Tavern of Tales. My friends and I attended the Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease, and the experience was stressful and poorly managed from start to finish. The Environment: The venue was overbooked and cramped. We were expected to play matches with two separate games occurring on different sides of a single round table. Navigating this space took significant time away from our rounds (a major issue since the staff were incredibly strict about match timers). The Staff: The hospitality was inconsistent.

Logistical Failures: Due to a payment system glitch, the

Incredible drink menu with lots of unique cocktails and knowledgeable picks for beer. A couple of shots started us off and really prepared us for an awesome experience. We shared the tator tots which had the perfect amount of crunch and texture. Beer cheese is a must-have addition! The black bean melt was absolutely killer, much to my delight! The chicken in the Caesar salad was juicy and the house made dressing was delectable. Cheers to the Tavern of Tales bartender and kitchen staff for making our otherwise dreary Monday fun and unforgettable. Can’t wait for our next visit! 😁

I was excited to find this place, and soon brought a friend there to play a new board game I recently purchased. I found out on arrival that you can't bring your own game without renting one of their rooms for $35 an hour. How does that make sense? I could go to Knights Moves to play with friends for much cheaper. Or, as we ended up doing that evening, I could go to a regular pub, and spend that $70 (what two hours would have cost us at ToT) on food and cocktails that are better than what's available at ToT.
