This review is for take-out as I was TAPPED out after freshman orientation and the heat. Let's…read morestart with why it is 5 stars when I'm going to make some critical comments....the reason? The burger was that good. Because I want to end on a positive, let me start with negatives: the fries were okay. Normally these are a side dish not worth mentioning but this restaurant makes them a star with a fry menu. ( I humbling suggest they try frying in beef tallow to make it a whole other fry experience). The other critical comment is my French onion soup (on take out) was really cold and we weren't late nor (but for the fries) anything else cold. To give you reference, I microwaved for 1 minute and was still cold and did another 1:30. But it was delicious. Now, why 5 stars? The burgers. My son and I both got the Lancaster burger with horseradish mayo on the side and substituting wagyu. It was heaven. It was perfection. We still think and talk about that burger and any food that makes you miss is worth 5 stars!

Also the worst meal and dinner experience I've had in 20 years. Much of what we tried to order was out of stock, some of those items that were in stock omitted ingredients discovered upon consumption (e.g.,, the case of the missing basil in the $18 caprese salad), and what we did get tasted like the lower end of airline food. We were stuck in a kind of covered porch to eat, rather than the actual picturesque old tavern rooms. A sort of long closet with windows. I will not tell you the tale of the 20 minute mystery of the unopened wine bottle. You wouldn't believe me anyway. It is a beer and whisky kind of place. I traveled 45 minutes to experience this historic tavern restaurant. I do not regret it. I embrace it. Trials build character. My wife and I will reminisce fondly on the awfulness of this experience for decades. I just wish I hadn't spent $225 for the privilege. If I had invested this in the stock market, I would have roughly $870 in current purchasing power in about 20 years. This could have been part of my childrens' inheritance. Lift a tankard of ale in the bar and look at the knick-knacks on the walls. Observe the fireplace, read the tavern's architectural history on the menu. Do not eat. Go without. Fasting is good for you. Think of the children.

We were excited to get the tomahawk steak and oysters but were deeply disappointed. We chose 2…read moredifferent oysters (got 3 of each type) and one of the types was not fresh. It did not taste good at all and we had to send it back to the kitchen for replacements. We asked for the tomahawk steak to be cooked medium rare/medium, but when it came out, it was really hard to cut with the knife that they gave us. When we sliced open the steak, it was completely raw inside. We told the waitress that it was so raw that it was touch to choose and she said that "it's thick so it's impossible to cook through". I thought that was crazy to hear from a restaurant that has tomahawk steak on their menu. If you don't think it is possible to cook it well, then it should not be on the menu. We ended up taking it home and putting it in the air fryer, which made it taste so much better.

The staff is SO incredibly welcoming and friendly, and always points us towards great dishes (shoutout to Kip, whenever he's my server I always just order whatever he recommends!). So far some of my favorites have been the espresso-crusted venison (winter 2025-26) and the ramp risotto (spring 2026). It's rare to find a place with so much passion for local ingredients and showcasing the season. This is the obvious spot for a celebration or to impress your out-of-town guests. The place is also gorgeous. It's cozy without being dark. The staff always welcomes you and checks in frequently. I also want to give a shoutout to the cocktails. Everything here is very well crafted and there's great variety. I also love the wines. The list is extensive, but you can't go wrong choosing a bottle from the seasonal highlights on the menu. Even if you don't have time for dinner, it's worth stopping at the bar just for a drink!
