We’ve been here a dozen times or so over the years because my husband likes the food.
The building is beautiful but I get so tired of how long it takes for everything here. We were lucky to get the last table before there was...a waitlist for dinner.
Our waitress might have been overstretched, I’m not sure, but it seems pretty consistent for Tavern 109 that the waitstaff only occasionally check on you and never offer to refill drinks, you have to flag them down and ask for them to be refilled directly. The staff just doesn’t seem to care if you’re happy or not.
The table next to us ordered 10 minutes or more after us but got their food 15-20 minutes before us. Maybe our waitress had delayed in putting in our order or maybe our ordered had a mistake that was fixed in the kitchen and delayed it? I don’t know but it’s pretty disappointing when you are hungry and thirsty and no one cares to check on you. By the time we got our food we ate within ten minutes or so and were ready to go. My husband loved his meal and mine was ok, but nothing special. We waited another ten minutes or so with our card out and ready. We didn’t even see the bill when she took my card and ran it. Overall, we were there for an hour and a half. Honestly, I could live without ever going back. To me, a $50 meal should be a better experience than what we got.More
