    NY Strip, vegetables and tasty fries.

    The service was attentive, friendly, comfortable dining room, a little bit noisy not crazy, nice decor. We were both going to order the filet mignon dinner that's on the menu but was told it was sold out. I opted for grilled chicken with grilled vegetables and a baked potato, my vegetables & chicken were tasty & warm, I would have preferred them hot, the chicken was nicely seasoned, thinly sliced, it is very tender and delicious, baked potato was hot, I enjoyed my dinner, he opted for the NY Strip with vegetables and fries, those fries were hot and delicious, seasoned perfectly, steak was served as ordered, a little on the tough side. We both enjoyed the dining experience and thought the portions were generous. I did ask for bread and our server brought us out a basket of warm bread. BYO is a plus. Overall an enjoyable Saturday date night.

    We came here for Mother's Day with reservations, and we were seated right away. Restaurant has beautiful ambience and was very clean. I love the cloth tablecloths and the staff was busy making sure everything looked nice. We ordered the trio for an appetizer and it came out hot and fresh. I especially liked the mini tacos as they had a flavorful filling and were crispy. I also ordered the shrimp and scallop penne with homemade sauce, which was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp was large, and the scallops were delicious.

    Lovely little byob in Avon. My boyfriend and I went here for a pre Valentines dinner. Sorry but so forgot to take pictures of the entrees. We started with the fried calamari and it was excellent! Very tender and seasoned perfectly. Loved the marinara dipping sauce too. For entrees I had the aloha salad. Loved the dressing and various fruits mixed in. It also had coconut chicken and shrimp. I found both to be a little dry. It would probably be a better choice to have grilled chicken and shrimp instead plus it would be lighter. My boyfriend had the cowboy wrap which was very good. It comes with chips but he opted for the fries which were a $2 up charge. The wrap had roast beef, mushrooms, onions and cheddar cheese. It was delicious. I didn't realize it was a byob until I got there. For convenience, there is a liquor store located a few doors down. I will. e sure to bring some wine the next time. lol The service was great and the entire staff are friendly. They make you feel welcome like family. I will definitely return and recommend Bed Rock to others.

    Caesar side salad

    Came for brunch and after a 10 min wait they sat us. They take reservations for larger parties fyi. They had all the brunch classics on the menu and it was hard to choose what to get. The biscuits and gravy stuck out to me. Solid choice. The classic eggs benedict was bland. I don't know there was no real flavor which isn't typical for this type of food. The chicken biscuits and gravy was just ok. I wished the chicken was served on the bone but it was a fried cutlet. The french toast wasn't bad but overall the menu looked better than it tasted. I would come back but I would stick with dinner.

    Thanks for the meal to go! Support your local businesses!

    This was the first restaurant we went to once COVID hit and After what we have seen at other restaurants, we now realize just how cautious these guys were for the sake of their patrons and WE APPRECIATE YOU!! Aside from the food being delicious, they had one woman at the front of the restaurant taking orders, the rest of the place was blocked off so no chance anyone else could walk in and contaminate your food. Both she and the kitchen staff who bought the orders out to her, were gloved and masked AND they had antibacterial for guests to use. Your order is set down on a side table where you could pick it up. Thank you for taking care of us so well, as an immune-comprised family we truly appreciate it and will be repeat customers! Try the burgers, steak sammies and salad, delish!

    I'm in a mood so I'm gonna go on one today…read more The Grand Tavern is hands down the best restaurant in the area. My husband and I have been going here for years. We don't come as often as we used to because yes it is pricey but I would much rather come here and have a special night with incredible service, food, and drinks than still spend over $100 at another restaurant and get average food. The Grand Tavern is unpretentious, welcoming, entrees offer sizable portions. I have NEVER left hungry. Main complaints I see are price - again, yes it's expensive but it's worth it. Also you can see the menu before you go, how do you not know what you're walking into?? Complaints about the burger. First of all the menu changes seasonally. There's no way their patty is frozen. Everything is FRESH AF. And yeah, American cheese is king on a burger. Again, it's on the menu what did you expect? This is a restaurant that has literally never disappointed. I will always save my pennies for a great night out here. Everyone's entitled to their opinion obviously but entitlement is a hell of a drug. Check out the menu and have a great night.

    Terrific food, my cavatelli was great, and the swordfish fresh and tasty. Fun cocktail service…read more (though it's Lent, so I was happy they offer a great NA IPA. The other 5 in my group enjoyed their drinks. Our server took our orders verbally, and all apps and mains came out without a hitch. No menus handed (they ask you to look at their website to choose!) and the menu is small, with specials limited to cocktails. It is dark and quite noisy (they did dial back the loudness after we asked) so keep that in mind.)

    Three friends and a lovely day at the beach. We went for dinner before heading back up north and…read moredecided to try someplace we've never been. Plenty of spots in the parking lot and easy to pay for 2 hours on the app - signs don't say what time the "meters" go off, but with 2 restaurants sharing the lot, we figured you probably have to pay until at least 8 pm, and we were early (5:30 ish). Got seated quickly, in a booth near a wide opening out to the beautiful patio on the water. Rather warm in the restaurant and there were overhead fans that weren't rotating, but it wasn't uncomfortable. We'd have had to wait a bit for an outdoor table, and anyway it was a hot humid day and night so indoors suited us just fine. One friend had the lobster bisque, served with a good chunk of a bread that looked tasty (she's not a bread lover but she enjoyed it so it must have been delicious) and she really liked the soup. Then she added another appetizer, spicy garlic shrimp. Generous portion of 6 shrimp. My other friend had the crabcake & shrimp plate, which came with a side salad that our waitress was savvy enough to bring first when our other friend was enjoying her soup. Some crumbled feta on the side salads, a nice touch. When she ordered, my friend asked if the crabcake had a lot of breading and our server assured her that it doesn't; that turned out to be accurate! I also got that side salad with the Ahi tuna bowl I ordered. This was a bowl of dry, bland white rice (might have been jasmine rice but not strong flavor). On one side atop the rice was a good portion of seaweed salad, which I love. Piled sort-of artistically on the other side of the rice mound were several small slices (6? 7?) of perfectly "black and blue" tuna crusted with both black and white sesame seeds. The fish and salad were delicious but not terribly filling. I ate most of the rice. I noticed that there was a marinade at the bottom and began to mix the rice with the marinade that was tasty. They do add 2.5% for credit cards, but that's fair enough these days. Entrées are on the pricey side, I thought ($39. for the crab/shrimp dish, 32 for my tuna, 12 for the lobster bisque), but there aren't any bargains dining out these days. We had no complaints, other than my somewhat dry rice. I'd like to give it 3 1/2 stars but will err on the generous side. We'll probably return next year on our beach day!

    Went to Marina Grille last night with my girlfriends as we are visiting Avon by the Sea for the…read moreweek. To start- this restaurant is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Its on the water, so we waited for an outside table. We only waited about 25 mins on a very busy night (we were quoted 45) which I was pleased by. The tuna nachos were my favorite bite of the night. The plate was giant to share and the flavors were delicious. I got the shrimp and lobster pasta and if you are considering that, I would pass. The shrimp had a funny, almost lemon essense flavor. The lobster was tasty (can't really mess up lobster). The pasta however was mucky in my opinion. The pasta itself was broken so it wasn't easy to twirl and the flavor was just very bland. My friends got the salmon and the shrimp. Both looked delicious. I do have to mention that we did love that the entrees came with a side salad. Overall it was a lovely spot. Absolutely beautiful there. Hang at the outside bar as you wait for your table!

During this trip, we ordered the steak for 2 as an entree; shishito peppers, mushrooms, onion rings as sides; pot stickers as an app; and a red velvet soufflé as a dessert. The steak was perfectly cooked, smoky and the seasoning was delicious. The two sauces on the side complimented the steak very well. The sides were also delicious. I did not expect the sides to be as tasty as they were!! The potstickers had an AMAZING filling but the consistency of the shell was a little chewy, but we are being very critical because of the price. Finally, the dessert came with a marscapone-like cream that we put on the soufflé and it melted into the dessert. We would definitely reccomend the soufflé but make sure you ask for it at the beginning of your meal because it takes 45 minutes to cook! We thought the service was good. We did have to wait 20 minites for our reservation, however, the host let us know there would be a wait and while we were waiting a waiter came out and opened our wine bottle and gave us glasses. We also love the ambiance of the restaurant. It is well decorated, clean, and well worth the trip.
