I love this place! My favorite is the Surf Bowl because of all the fresh ground peanut butter on it, but there are many delicious and healthy options. Everything is gluten free and organic.
All around good spot with tasty offerings. We had the steak salad, calamari, and chicken wings grilled and would eat again. Many gluten free and vegetarian options too. Service was attentive but not overly so.
Unfortunately, my visit to The Tavern Grill didn't meet my expectations, leaving me disappointed with both the dining experience and the accommodation of allergens. Despite the elevated prices that suggested a commitment to handling allergens more carefully, there were noticeable gaps in both the kitchen and front-of-house practices.
A significant issue arose with the lack of clear gluten-free indicators on the main menu. The only options provided were to swap a regular bun or crust for a gluten-free alternative. When I inquired about a dedicated gluten-free menu, the server initially claimed there wasn't one, only to later find it, revealing a potential lack of training or unfamiliarity with allergen protocols.
What bothered me most was that the gluten-free alternatives offered, such as swapping a bun or crust, didn't genuinely address allergies. The oversight of other potentially gluten-containing ingredients or cross-contamination risks made me question the purpose of providing gluten-free options when essential aspects seemed overlooked.
Expressing concern about cross-contamination with pizzas, I asked about the possibility of cooking gluten-free crusts separately. Unfortunately, the server informed us that all pizzas were cooked on the same surface, adding to my disappointment.
Taking these issues into account – the absence of transparent allergen information, mixed responses, and the revelation of shared cooking surfaces – the higher prices felt unjustified for the overall dining experience. I had hoped for a seamless and safe meal at The Tavern, but this visit left me disappointed. Sharing this feedback is my way of contributing to an improved dining experience, though as things stand, I don't plan on returning.
To compound matters, our initial experience at The Tavern lacked a proper greeting upon entry. We stood at the hostess stand for several minutes, expecting assistance with seating or at least a simple acknowledgment. This initial lapse in hospitality set a disappointing tone for the evening.
Adding to the letdown, the ambiance at The Tavern fell short of expectations. The lights were surprisingly bright for a Thursday night at 6:30 PM, and the overall atmosphere lacked the warmth and positive vibes one would hope for, further detracting from the overall dining experience.
Regrettably, the staff appeared somewhat aloof, compounding the diminishing appeal of The Tavern. I share these observations with the hope that the establishment can address these concerns and provide a more satisfying experience for future patrons.
Great place to enjoy patio seating with a cocktail and a burger. While not listed on the menu, there are gluten free options; however they do not have a dedicated fryer. Spacious indoor dining and bar with TVs to watch local sports.
Incredible food and A+ customer service. We had Toma as our caterer for our wedding. So many people came up to us to tell us our wedding had the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We did a buffet style, which was great, and allowed people to come up for seconds. They were also very accommodating to make sure we had high quality dishes to satisfy a number of different diets, including vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, and meat eaters (they’re a great choice for vegans!) But almost most importantly, it felt like they really cared about our wedding and they wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 and highly recommend for any wedding or catering event.

I have visited this location several times. Love the vast majority of gluten free options. Their gluten free noodles are delicious. Can’t go wrong with the mac n’ cheese. Their pad Thai is good too.
sat at the bar late night. Jeff was a slick and professional bartender. food was exactly how we ordered it gluten free and all. 10 out of 10 would recommend all thanks to Jeff. :)
My Burger is a go-to, they have a ton of customization options which is incredible for anyone who is gluten and dairy free or has other dietary restrictions. Place is always so clean and the staff is always so friendly and kind.
We've enjoyed both of our first experiences @ Dukes on 7, both take out (we live nearby), and good Gluten-free options for my wife. They were prompt & cordial, good food & quantify/quality & accommodating.
Disappointed that the rotisserie chicken salad was discontinued as it was one of the only gluten-free options for my wife. But the staff there tonight provided the best customer service I’ve had at a restaurant in many, many years. The gentleman who took our order went above and beyond to make sure we felt valued as customers and made the best of the limited offerings available for my wife’s dietary needs.
I have been here a few times and always left happy. Tasty food and creative drinks. I had the shrimp and vegetables, which is gluten free and super yummy. My daughter went for the ribeye steak, which was done perfectly and served with a large portion of garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. My wife had the crab cake BLT. This had a very large cake & came with fries. She said it was excellent. When here try one of their cocktails or a local brew featured on tap.
