The food was good, but not awesome. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our waitress was awesome. They had a lot of gluten-free options.

What a cozy and welcoming atmosphere! The food is fresh and delicious, with friendly, fast and efficient servers. If you have dietary issues, let your server know, as they do have a gluten free menu. This was a fantastic experience and one you will absolutely want to check out!

The food was good. My wife is gluten-free, which they had a ton of gluten-free options. She ordered the French toast. It was just gluten-free bread. Nothing French toasty about it. I had the barbacoa skillet. That was pretty good. Nothing spectacular about it. The only jelly/jam is a mixed berry. I have a severe allergy to strawberry, so I had peanut butter instead. Coffee was good. Staff were great. Our waitress was excellent and there when we needed her. Decor needs definite updating! All in all I would like to give it another try.

Was a beautiful kitchen and unique place. The food and menu items were a bit pricey for our budget, but the food is locally sourced, and the menu is new every week. Overall, it was a good experience! Food is a bit different, not the usual restaurant items, but the flavors were all good! There were a lot of vegan/ gluten-free options as well this week. Our favorite was the popcorn shrimp tacos! You can tell everything was fresh made. Drinks were small for price. For two people with one appetizer, one desert, 2 drinks (alcoholic), and 2 entrees, it was 91 dollars. I did still enjoy the evening, and it was a cool experience. I would be open to coming again

First time eating here after passing it probably 1000 times. Really tasty food. Love that they have gluten free options. Had a gluten wrap with potato wedges. My only dislike was the potatoes needed more salt but luckily there was a shaker on the table :p

Great service with even better food! Our waitress Grace was amazing at her job, knew the menu very well. Made it a point to make sure my girlfriend who is gluten-free got exactly what she wanted and needed. The portion sizes are massive and the food is great! Would recommend to anyone and we will absolutely be back!

We had an amazing Father's Day BBQ experience today. We especially appreciated our fantastic and knowledgeable server Clayton who did a superb job navigating our requests and our food sensitivities ( great options for gluten-free). Very satisfied given I am a big saucy BBQ connoisseur- loved the ribs, wings, and brisket especially

We went to Tavern on Clark for the 1st time tonight. The food was excellent! My girlfriend has a gluten allergy, and the waitstaff was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding that, which does not seem to be the case in most restaurants in the area. The waitstaff were totally on point, not missing a beat, regarding our entire dining experience. They have a good variety of selections to choose from, which can be from reasonably priced to higher end choices. All in all, we were totally satisfied and would highly recommend this as a spot to go to.

It's really the service and atmosphere for me. Love the gardens and being able to breathe in the sights and air. Enjoy that during the right season there's indoor and outdoor seating. The food has some great hits like the sliders, burgers, salmon tacos, and most of the breakfast items. I wasn't a fan of the lobster roll or the crab cake sandwich. They also have some gluten free options and fresh squeezed juice. It's a great option for romance, brunch, or just a fancier friendly lunch. It fits all those requirements. Make sure to check out the gardens which is separate and costs about $24 dollars a ticket.
