★★★★★ 5.0 Marine Marine · Dec 2025

Perhaps one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food, service and atmosphere were amazing. Everything was on point and very well executed. The food told a story with every bite there was an explosion of flavor. Highly recommend this place. We stayed at the resort and had dinner at the Tavern. Best getaway we’ve had in years. The location is quiet and majestic. Away from the city life.

Absolutely awesome dinner! The food was excellent. Everything was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. Martha and her serving assistant (sorry we didn't catch her name) were attentive, welcoming and professional. Can't wait to come back!

My favorite spot for many years. The Tavern is a great spot that serves the best cocktails in the Valley. There is only one bartender so you do need to be patient as they are individually crafted which takes time… perhaps a “sous” bartender during busy times would be helpful. The food is delicious and attention to detail is obvious. Since the menu changes I’m guessing the duck or the sea bass are my favorites with the pomme frites and caviar as a starter.

For a dinner date, we selected this restaurant and brought our daughter along. She was thrilled with her meal. We were impressed by the delicious food and satisfying drinks. The atmosphere was lovely, and our waiter provided exceptional service. Upon learning it was our first visit, he offered valuable recommendations for popular menu items to try.

★★★★★ 5.0 Dalton Spiekermann · Jul 2025

Awesome spot with a diverse menu located close to the freeway featuring wonderful cocktails and faire. The Duck Mole was a wonder old dish, and the Miso Black Cod was a light and delicious dish. The Blue Crab Beignets did not disappoint. The cute Tavern Cats 🐈‍⬛ also 10/10
