Phenomenal from start to finish. We enjoyed an amazing brunch here on the weekend during AddamsFest. My only wish was that they got more in on the action, maybe some fun Halloween themed drinks or food. We started with the calamari which was great and I got the fried chicken sandwich with the Mac and cheese (amazing!). I also got a martini which was strong and delicious. Our service was perfect. I thought the apples at the door was a nice touch, I haven't seen that before... very hospitable first impression. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I finally got to check out the highly anticipated new bar in town. Being that Westfield has mostly BYOB restaurants and no real bars, this was a great addition. Came on a Friday night and managed to get a seat at the main bar. I loved the vibe and warm ambiance of Addam's. There's also an upstairs bar which is small with limited seated. The bartenders seemed a little overwhelmed because it was so busy, but service was good. The blonde woman bartender (I didn't get her name) was awesome! They had unique and seasonal specialty drinks but they were pricey at around $15.00. Also ordered some small plates at the bar- spinach and feta spring rolls, fish tacos and crab cake. The spring rolls were delicious, the other items were just ok. I would definitely try Addam's again once it dies down a bit. read more

Delicious food! My wife said she had the best pork chop ever! My filet was delicious and disappeared quickly. Recommend trying the calamari as well. We will be back!! read more

Took my wife to Addams Tavern on her birthday for our first restaurant meal in seven months. We split the spreads app, which is hummus, eggplant caponata, and roasted beets sprinkled with feta cheese served with sunflower crisps ($15). We enjoyed it, but not before I had to ask the server for silverware and napkins. Entrées were the pan roasted halibut over parsnip-apple purée ($30), and the pepper crusted salmon garnished with haricot verts and potato cubes ($26). The salmon was done perfectly and quite delicious, but the halibut was overcooked and dry. The fish portions were fine, but the garnishes a bit meager. You might also want to order one or more of the a la carte side dishes if you are very hungry. They have over sixty wines on the wine list, but only 5 choices under $50 a bottle. You can order by the glass, of course, at around $13-$17 a pour. I don't begrudge them a profit, but you are certainly not going to get away cheap if you dine here and order alcohol. We shared the molten chocolate lava cake for dessert, which was not molten in the middle, just a small, hot chocolate cake baked all the way through topped with foamy meringue ($9). I thought that when they made a point of asking me if we were celebrating a special occasion that they would give us something, like a dessert on the house, or even a candle in the dessert that I purchased, but no. The server simply wished my wife a happy birthday as were getting up to leave, and that was that. read more

My husband and I have always been impressed with the food and service. The latest time we were really happy. Really hot weather made us look closer for menues and service and atmosphere. Kaitlyn, has the extra something that can't be taught. We both have close to 45 years in the restaurant and bar business, so we get the (everyone get's atrophy, that's not fair generation!) The whole place had the feel of a swan that may be paddling like crazy under water but is smooth on the surface. Well done! read more

We had a great meal outdoor meal at Addams tavern. We started with the burrata appetizer which was perfects I had the sliders with truffle fries and it was perfect. Service was wonderful and the restaurant was really on top of safety precautions. I definitely suggest making a reservation read more

Food was great! Service and drinks were very very very slow. So slow that you don't want to order more. We had the drink specials and nothing special about them. The Pacino old fashioned had way too much ameretto. I sent it back. Burger, chicken sandwich, pulled chicken kale salad, French toast and quesadillas were all excellent! Fries are shoestring. Good. Truffle parmesan fries were good but could've used more truffle. Overall, good experience and would definitely go back. read more

Came here with a friend yesterday for lunch and we had to wait a bit to be seated outdoors, but it wasn't a huge problem since we were able to walk around the main street. Our waitress was very nice and attentive to our needs. I recommend the pomegranate sangrias as they were perfect and not too sweet. My friend had the chicken sandwich and was very satisfied with it, and I had the frittata (brunch menu item) and it was also very good! Eating indoors probably would have been a different experience since it does look like a great ambiance inside. I only give this 4 stars because they don't have too much on their menu to choose from read more

Adams Tavern is still on my favorite places to go in Westfield. My wife and I recently did the night at Adams Tavern, and we got to meet their new general manager Molly. We live right up the street so we like to know the people that work at Adams Tavern another one in the restaurant, because we go there often and they become like family. After another amazing meal add Adams Tavern... I highly recommend trying their fall fashioned which is a fall take on an old-fashioned... we got to talk to Molly and hear her story and how excited she is to be as part of the harvest family. At one point I found a small crack in my glass, and Molly immediately had it replaced and brought me a brand new drink without even thinking about it twice. But I kind of attention and customer service is what you look for in a great restaurant. And now the menu is still just as good as it was before Covid. If you haven't tried a pork chop, that is a go to that you must try. We started off with their spring rolls And cheddar bread, and then I had the Black pepper crusted salmon. It was Coach perfectly and served with whipped mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts that were amazing. This is hands-down one of the best restaurants in Westfield and I highly recommend you stop by, say hi to Molly, and have one of the best meals you'll have in Westfield! read more

First time visit Metered or street parking near by Excellent service, waitress asked if anyone in my party had food allergies Highly recommend ! read more

No need to go back, Westfield, Scotch Plains and Kenilworth have way better food and experiences to spend your hard earned cash. Speaking of money, they are definitely price gauging with increases on items from 10-30 percent. Bad hostess service and very mediocre waiters. They do not supply bread anymore. One couple was celebrating a birthday and they got up and left and did not eat their food which looked awfully. read more

Our 1st vist to this restaurant was unfortunately just ok. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful!It has that dark wooden feel that you get from from a great speakeasy or cigar lounge. Upon arrival we were greeted and sat fairly promptly. This is where things devolved. The hostess that sat us immediately started asking us about drink orders?? We had no time to consider our options so we hastily made spot decisions. Thankfully our actual server arrived in the middle of this to take over service much to our relief. The was server was good, not great but well enough to get us through our meal. We took her recommendations on the rotisserie wings and we ordered some additional appetizers. The wings were great, well seasoned and a nice texture. The fried calamari was also tasty but the aiol that came with I should have ordered on the side. Made the dish pretty heavy. The tuna tartare was ok, nothing jumped out as a unique dish. The truffle fries were good but very skimpy for a 10 portion. Like a medium fry from your chain restaurant. All in all we'll definitely try this restaurant again and see what else the menu has in store. I'm sure with better service I'll be able to give better feedback. Cheers to all!! read more

One of the better burgers in town and great cocktails. This spot is a more swanky, upscale restaurant with dimmed lighting, a sizable bar section, and great bartenders. They also have pretty good dinner menu items such as short rib. read more

Spending only a few nights in town, decided to dine here. We ordered the Fried Chicken Fried Rice Bowl, the Filet, and a side of Mac & Cheese. The bowl & the mac were great, but the steak was not up to par. Ordered the steak medium, but it was cooked well completely through. Our server, Chris, handled things exceptionally. He was very apologetic and offered to have the steak remade but we did not want to wait. He not only took the filet off of the bill, but he had another one cooked for us to take home. Although the steak was not up to par, Chris and his managers hospitality and the way they handled the situation made our experience very pleasant. Will definitely come back again! Chris was great! read more

Came today and I wasn't sure if she was a manager or hostess (broken foot) was rude. Absolutely didn't appreciate her attitude. Macaroni and cheese was more like a soup Hamburgers were dry Fries soggy Def will not be back read more

Delicious food and even better drinks! Love the atmosphere and the waitstaff is attentive and friendly!

Poor service and middling food on Mother's Day. Waited 25 minutes to be seated, waited 20 minutes to have order taken and food was blah and potatoes cold. read more

Enjoyed a night at the bar recently. It was a crowded night, but the service was great! The bartenders were so friendly and accommodating, but also respectful of space. Natalie was so kind and sweet! She was new to the bar, but was so friendly and funny. read more

Addams Tavern is one of the few restaurants at which I feel comfortable eating during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their tables are spaced out a full six feet from one another along Elm Street. I appreciate their table spacing, as other restaurants have tried to arrange tables as closely as possible to earn more revenue. Health appears to be a priority at Addams Tavern. Their online booking via Resy is also very useful. I was able to request to be seated next to an empty table, if possible-- and they did so! They seated my party next to a server's silverware station, so no one sat next to me. I also indicated in my reservation that it was my father's birthday and they made sure to bring out dessert with a candle and a birthday message written on the plate! The food is consistently good, the drink menu is diverse. The only disappointment was that our waitress was not highly familiar with the menu. My father asked how one ingredient in his dish would be prepared and she answered incorrectly; the food looked different when it arrived than how she had described. My husband also asked if she could recommend vegetables that he could substitute and she was unable to name their side dishes-- we had to peruse the menu together. However, these are extremely nitpicky drawbacks. We'd be happy to return anytime because the outdoor atmosphere seems safe and comfortable with the highest degree of professionalism. Thank you Addams Tavern and staff for helping even the most neurotic get out to enjoy a meal during unprecedented times! read more

Excellent experience. Went here for a mid week dinner out and was pleasantly surprised. Decor and ambiance was a 10. The real fireplace is a nice touch. Servers were all very nice but a bit inexperienced. Service is on the slow side but the food and the attitude of everyone made it worth the wait. No place I can think of in this area comes close to what the harvest group is doing for the smart casual dining experience. Addams is excellent. read more

I guess I'll never know how good this place is. They cannot handle a reservation for more than eight people. That apparently is two more people than they can accommodate for a reservation. I would really suggest they work on their customer service skills. read more

It was.....ok : / The waiters and waitresses were kind however my food was barely warm and the burger was super greasy to the point where the bottom bun was like a sponge on of that there was ONE tiny little pickle inside my big burger not going to lie I was a little disappointed read more

This is such a solid restaurant. The vibe/atmosphere is super cool and we were excited to come here with for brunch with family! My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla and I got the rotisserie chicken salad (it was massive!). I was on a diet at the time and I was so happy to be able to order a salad so tasty and filling. read more

Is Herbie the best bartender ever? Not sure but it's quite possibly so. I'm a fan of almost all of Harvest's restaurants. Generally speaking, service, food and ambience are usually on point. I've wanted to try this latest addition to the family and stumbled upon it quite accidentally during a recent shopping trip to Westfield. Like all of their locations, the interior is visually striking. It has an almost old world feel to it with antiqued bar and details that compliment the tavern experience. Sat at the bar, ordered the requisite Bloody Mary and enjoyed a really delicious brunch served by an incredible aforementioned bartender whose skills were only surpassed by his congeniality. If you're in the greater West field area or, like me, just happen to be walking by, I strongly suggest paying Addams Tavern and Herbie a visit. I'm sure you'll be more than happy you did. read more

Spent two hours here and was visited by our waiter Isaiah only twice. Interestingly, he didn't seem to have any trouble waiting on his largest table. Had to flag down somebody every time we wanted to place an order or even get our check. The food was good, but the service was inexcusable. Left feeling like we were completely overlooked from start to finish. read more

When reserving my dinner, I had put that I had a gluten and dairy allergy. Fast forward to the night of, my boyfriend and I had a server by the name of Joey. He was a bit hasty. I told my boyfriend what I wanted to order as I had to go to the bathroom. My boyfriend ordered everything for me including a soup. Joey forgot the soup and I decided not to make a big deal out of it. I told Joey it was fine. My boyfriend had also ordered me the rotisserie chicken with some modifications and an additional side of potato hash. When it came out, the kale salad was as missing. This is the first time we were told that we couldn't have both the potato hash and salad. Other severs have kindly given me both so I was confused. Even when we told Joey we would pay for the additional kale salad that was part of the meal, he didn't want to give it to us. He began to scoff at my boyfriend and then at me as I tried to ask if we weren't allowed to have an extra side. He gave me the biggest attitude, scoffed at me and walked away to talk to the manager. What Joey forgot was that I was sitting in perfect view of him and saw how he went off on the manager about me. That is when I took the initiative to talk to the manager personally as well. I know that gluten and dairy allergies may be a burden to some restaurants. Trust me, I WISH I could eat anything I wanted. I wish I could enjoy a meal outside of my house without worrying if I may break out in hives and feel like a disaster. But that's just not my life - unfortunately. I say that, because there isn't a lot of options in the menu for both dairy and gluten restrictions; and already with missed soup, I didn't think it would be a big deal to pay for the side of kale. That day, I was also going through some really difficult personal issues. I already had had an mentally/emotionally taxing couple of days; I didn't need Joey's attitude on top of it. It made me feel terrible and like such a burden - all over a kale salad. Luckily, the manager was a bit more understanding. Joey didn't want to come to our table after that. Someone else came to see if we were okay. Later on into the night, he finally did and apologized but it didn't feel sincere at all. Would I recommend this place? Maybe...Definitely NOT if you have allergies. The place is beautiful though, very nice aesthetic lol. read more

Love this place! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I've been here at least 7-8 times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended

We visited Addams Tavern with another couple on Saturday night. Reservations appear to be a must and we had one at 7:30 PM. Score! The bar area was lively and interactive, and every seat was accounted for at that point. We were seated upstairs and were pleased to see that there was another bar up there also (along with some outdoor seating). Really nice atmosphere! The menu features small plates, sharable appetizers, as well as large plates. Our selections were enjoyed by all - pork belly, avocado toast, spring rolls, scallops, ribs, etc. The issue for us was the service. I am hardly one to complain about service, mostly because it really chaps my hide when I feel like I am being rushed, and I tend to be a very forgiving patron otherwise. But everything took a looooong time. Drink orders took a long time, the food took a long time, and there was a graveyard of empty glasses all over our table by the time we were nearly finished with our dinner. We had to ask one of our many servers to please remove some of the glasses to make additional room. I couldn't even tell you who our main server was because there was a fleet of them. You would have thought with that many people manning the tables that they would have service down to a science! We wouldn't go out of our way to take the hour drive north to visit again, but we wouldn't necessarily pass on giving it another shot if we find ourselves in the Westfield area. read more

I live in town and Addams needs to stop being stale. Everyone I know thinks the menu needs to change and evolve. The service is good as are the drinks. But the chef could use an update. read more

Very nice looking place. A great spot for dinner or also to get a drink at the bar. Food is good.

Wish I had better things to say as I'm a Westfield resident and Yelp Elite. But alas, I've tried Addams three times and it fails to impress. I've had the spectrum of bland to overzealously salted food, overly sweet drinks, gloppy sticky wings and just all around subpar cookery on the main dishes. The ambiance is beautiful but the service is as spotty as the food. If I had to sum it up, I'd say they've got the packaging right but the gift inside isn't up to par. Disappointed and wish it could be better, as I entertain pharma clients quite a bit and wish this would be a better option, right in my home town. read more

Superb vibe and Overall great experience!! Loved the atmosphere...awesome drinks and delicious food. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back!! read more

The food is just ok and way overpriced. The beer on tap is good and fairly priced. The bathroom doors have glass windows so you can watch people pee. I have nothing else to say but Yelp is making me write more characters for this to count as a real review instead of just a tip. read more

I came here twice in one week that's how amazing this place is. So I'll review each experience separately. First, the inside is very nice. Very clean. There's an upstairs, a downstairs, and a bar area. I sat in the front with my sister, we came here for lunch. They weren't busy but there were many patrons in the restaurant. The manager sat us. He was very nice and polite. The menus come on these huge pieces of paper which we were told was printed everyday! I thought that was pretty awesome because I hate dirty, grimy, menus. We started off with the tuna tartare and the nj melon sprawl. They both were so good. I really am not a fan of raw fish but this was so delicious!!! The nj melon sprawl was so good. Everything was fresh and tasty! My sister and I also got the sangria pitcher. It was just perfect! We both got the chopped farmers salad with salmon. It was so delicious. My salmon was a little bit salty but I am not a big fan of fish so I didn't mind. Even though we were super full we decided to split an ice cream sandwich. Just the perfect way to end the lunch and enjoy a nice summer day. The wait staff was so nice. The drinks and appetizers came out at just the right times. Everything was just nice. I went to the bathroom and came back to a new napkin nicely folded next to my plate. I think those little things definitely make a positive impact. Talk about the bathrooms. I like that they are unisex and one stall. I like that they use towels instead of paper products. As an environmental friendly person that scores big with me! My second experience was for brunch. My sister raved about it so we went with our mother. We sat in the back right next to the window that looks into the kitchen. Pretty neat to see the way your food is prepared. The kitchen is very clean and everyone had a nice, professional appearance. We started off with the monkey bread and cinnamon roll. It was really hard for us to decide so we got both. We loved both but all favored the cinnamon roll just a tad more! One thing that was a bit upsetting this time around was we got our drinks after we already ate our appetizers but we ordered the drinks first. They were pretty packed for brunch but the timeliness could improve in that aspect. It was so hard to decide what we wanted to eat because there were so many great options. I got the cage free egg option, my sister got the biscuits and gravy, and my mom got chef Alicia's burger. What was awesome was she actually came out and spoke to us and my mom was able to compliment her on the burger. The food was all so good. I can't believe my eyes when I read such negative reviews because I've never once had a bad experience at any of the restaurants. 10/10 would come back and plan to come back to try the dinner menu. read more

Came here for dinner. The food was very good and the service was excellent. We had the cheddar biscuits to start which were good and the maple butter was amazing. The rotisserie chicken with the sweet potato purée was very good and apparently the burger was excellent. Very unique cocktail list. The server also brought complimentary ice cream for the birthdays. Definitely would return! read more

So glad to have a place like Addams Tavern in town! The restaurant is HUGE and absolutely beautiful. You definitely don't feel like you're on a side-street in a suburban town. The staff is friendly and I have to thank Izzy the bar tender for hooking me up with some delicious margaritas to brighten up my Saturday. We sat at the bar and had some apps and drinks on a Saturday afternoon. The bar tenders were all kind and introduced themselves when you sat down. The drinks are made from scratch and are delicious. The food menu is diverse and fun, the entrees are a little pricy, you're definitely not going to have a cheap night coming out here. We stuck to the appetizer menu and enjoyed the fresh-cut fries and wood-fired wings. We even were offered bread and hot-towels. A+ experience. The bar area got more crowded as we got into the evening, it was definitely up beat and fun. Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely fantastic. First, I've got to comment on the place itself - it's absolutely beautiful. Super high ceilings, excellent design and ambiance, it's just really, really well done. Walking in, you'll immediately be hit with one of my favorite smells - the smell of a real wood burning fireplace, which was a great touch. It just makes the whole restaurant feel more homey, relaxing, and comfortable. We sat down at the bar, as the wait for a table was around an hour. Luckily, we were able to snag seats right away despite it being primo brunch time. My fiance got the veggie burger and truffle fries, and I got the Dutch Country Rotisserie Chicken. Luckily, I was able to get a bite of her veggie burger, because it may have been the best I've ever had. The truffle fries were also fantastic. My own meal was just as good, if not even better. The sweet glaze on the rotisserie chicken added so much flavor, and it was cooked to perfection. Juicy chicken with nice crispy skin. The wild rice medley it was served on was flavorful, both sweet and savory, and was also cooked well - not overdone, not underdone. My portion size was more than I could have asked for, they're generous with an entire half chicken. Our bartender was super friendly, even shook our hands to greet us. This may have just become one of our favorite restaurants. Can't wait to come back and try dinner! read more

An upscale pub. Our waiter was very very thorough. The clam chowder was ok, a bit thin. Calamari was excellent. I ordered the ribs, looked like 1/2 rack, good taste but tough. After being asked several times about my meal I finally said if they are prepared this way they probably shouldn't be on the menu. Manager and waiter were nice and gave me a free dessert. Others ordered burgers and said they were great. They could use a wider selection of beers on tap. Great atmosphere. I'd give it another try. read more
