Just got back from a very strange experience eating at the Wild Goose Tavern. We chose to visit solely off the back of the Google reviews, I didn’t realise that only the first few reviews were positive at that point, a fact I’m only just aware of now while writing this actually. The establishment is lovely, fresh, clean, bright and very inviting on a dark October evening. It’s a good job the building is welcoming because the hostess certainly wasn’t! I have never before met an individual less suited to the job they are employed for as this young lady. Her slothening attitude was so bad it was actually bordering on comical. No welcome, an exaggerated time to find a free table on her system (even though the dining room was only about a quarter full), an effort made to vacate her seat and the

Great ambiance and service. Food overall was good, but salad was soggy, wet. Made day before? Salmon cooked perfectly. Lobster garlic bread with cheese can be a meal! Continental breakfast good- I enjoyed the hard boiled eggs and cheese chunks for protein too balance muffin.

A fantastic old building with fantastic food in the heart of Main Street. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the lobster garlic bread is simply amazing. I can also recommend the nutty coffee, it was perfect on a January day.

Wild Goose Tavern is a great dining spot right in the heart of Chatham. It is a spacious, clean, and nautical interior, with fine-dining-like menu. Service was very kind and pointed us in the right direction on the menu, even cracking jokes. Food was very good, especially the fish and chips. Though for what the menu was priced at, I would have expected a little bit better from this place, especially with the wait times for food. Overall, it was a solid spot in a great location, and it provided a nice date night feel.

Went here for a family dinner while visiting Chatham. The atmosphere is great and the service is top notch, however the food is overpriced and quite bland. I had the swordfish that needed seasoning and also got to try some of the special “prime rib” that had no seasoning at all and only came with a horseradish sauce. It was a fun place to try, but I would not go back to this restaurant for the food.
