Tavern In The Square - Burlington

Despite it being the holiday season, the crowd wasn’t overwhelming. Initially, everything seemed to go well. The appetizers arrived in a timely manner and were hot and delicious. However, when it came to the main courses, there was a mixed experience. Although all the meals were served together, their temperatures varied significantly, making it difficult to enjoy our food. It didn’t feel worth the trouble to send anything back after the wait. Between the appetizers and the mains, the service seemed to decline. We found ourselves waiting a long time for drinks, despite ordering two at once, anticipating the wait. There were also fewer check-ins from the staff than we would have liked. As a result, we felt rushed and hurried through our meal to leave. Please don’t get me wrong, we understood that it was still the holiday season, even if it was three days later, but the crowd wasn’t enough to justify the slow service. This left us puzzled about what was happening. We were hoping for a better experience, perhaps at a different location since we don’t live nearby. We’re unsure if we would return to this particular spot. I apologize for not taking any photos; it was a bit dark, and we weren’t seated under any lights. In summary, if everything had gone smoothly, the food could have been great. However, due to the service issues, our overall experience fell short.

My girlfriend received a generous portion of mac and cheese that was more than she could finish. The Tavern Burger was superb.

The lunch menu has a variety of options for diners with dietary restrictions.

I got the bayou chicken pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The service was a little slow getting drinks but we also had a large party and squeezed into a table in the bar area. It was loud and hard to hear across the table.

Restaurant and bar in Burlington. The place has a sports bar vibe with Tvs in every direction showing the games. The place was rather full and rather loud on a Monday evening. Lots of booths and raised tables. Server was friendly and efficient. I recommend the blackened fish tacos and a glass of wine.
