“ It's a very good place, the food is delicious and look really nice. The service is good. The prices are ok, not low but totally worth it. Live music, good atmosphere. You need some reservations if you wanna seat at the table, cause it's usually packed. ”
“ We dined at Tavern N Town during our stay at the hotel property that it's located it. It appears to be a very upscale establishment based on the decor and the ambiance when you first enter. However if you're a diner link myself then the food and drink selection is what actually counts the most during dinner. I ordered the wings as an appetizer which were delicious. I also ordered the coco-Jitt which is rendition of a coco nut mojito. It was good. I took a chance on the shrimp cocktail and lobster ceviche which was light and refreshing but good. We ended up only ordering 2 drinks and 2 appetizers because unfortunately the menu was extremely limited almost like one of those 1 page preselected menus that you get when you go to a dining establishment for a private event or party which was my only con. They definitely need way more menu options. Overall our experience was good. We ended up spending about $105.00 for two drink and two appetizers though so they're a bit on the pricey side for what you actually get! ”
“ Had a wonderful birthday celebration thanks to Jason. He handled our rowdy crowd with grace and professionalism. Food was top notch, all 8 of us ordered something different and everyone was pleased with their meal. I had one of the best espresso martinis here that I've had in a while. Special shout out to Daniel the food runner. he was a great asset to our wonderful evening. We will be back! ”
“ Stopped into Tavern n Town for Happy Hour while in Key West. It is attached to the Beachfront Residences hotel but open the public. Note for patrons: happy hour food is only good in the bar, so do not let them seat you! Bar area is a bar feel. Restaurant dining is upscale casual with white linen. Happy Hour menu contains a list of $7 items. George was our bartender and he was legit - guy had major talent working the bar considering the size of the crowd the entire night we were there. We opted for the bang bang shrimp, asian sticky ribs, and salmon bites. Pictures included for the review - perspective is tough. Note for the pics that the serving dishes are very small - think of a roll plate. So, your $7 portion is essentially a few bites. That being said, everything we had was good. Props to the Asian sticky ribs - meat was falling off the toothpick and the sauce was very good. Salmon bites were good. Bang Bang shrimp was mildly disappointing, lacking the usual "kick" of a bang bang dish. Cocktails were good with generous pours. Special props to the southern chocolate cake, ordered by suggestion of George. Now that was a legit delicious dessert, served with bourbon ice cream. Overall, we had a pleasant visit in the bar for happy hour. Slightly disappointed in the tiny portions, but food was good enough. George was great. I'd say worth a happy hour stop! Regular menu prices are definitely an accurate $$$ as noted in Yelp. ”
“ Had dinner on Mother's Day. Hubby had a smoked old fashioned and I had red wine. We ordered appetizers; naked chicken wings and blistered shishito peppers. Both were very tasty. We originally were going to just do tappas but they were not serving those that evening so hubby had the tavern burger and I had the margarita pizza. We enjoyed both entrees. With that being said this was a very expensive meal for what we had. I wish we had gone on a night they were serving the happy hour tappas with drinks and probably would have been happier. The food was good and we recommend. ”
“ Came here for happy hour with my boyfriend which is something they're notorious for! We ordered the oyster Rockefeller, the Asian sticky ribs and the spicy salmon bites. We sat at the bar and had great service. The drinks were good and the spicy salmon bites were probably my favorite. Next would be the Asian sticky ribs. The oyster Rockefeller was my least favorite. Overall not a bad happy hour, I would come back! ”
“ Extremely busy on Christmas Eve but the staff did their best to provide good service. We walked in without reservations and managed to grab a seat by the bar. We came in just to grab dessert, and the key lime bar was a solid choice. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy and I liked that they paired it with ice cream to balance with the pie. Great work on the dessert so I could see myself going back if I'm ever in Key West again to try other things. ”
“ Beautiful restaurant. I showed up earlier than my reservation and sat at the bar and listened to the live music before I was seated. I loved the live music. The naked chicken wings were perfection. I had the scallops and my partner had the Wagyu filet mignon with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. The creamed spinach was perfection. The only aspect I did not like were the desserts. I had the hazelnut panna cotta and the chocolate cake and both were were bitter and off tasting. I wish there was like a nice chocolate chip cookie or milk chocolate dessert. 5 stars though. Also, our waiter Ben was fantastic. And so was the tall, young runner. He helped take pictures of our party with a smile. Everyone was so attentive. I loved the open kitchen concept. One of the best eats I've had in key west so far. Thank you! ”
“ When approaching the restaurant I almost thought they'd turn us away because of how fancy the restaurant seemed but all of the patrons were dressed Key west casual so I fit right in. The food, service and ambiance does warrant an attire that goes in more in line with it but I'm glad I was able to venture from my room in flip flops to have some of the best food I've had in a long time! Every item was perfectly balanced and cooked. Not pictured was our entree that was a 10oz Wagyu steak with mashed potatoes. We also had the Tavern Salad which was delicious, the flavors really complemented each other. I'm hoping I make my way back here while im visiting Key West. ”
