The food however was ok. My friend ordered the harvest bowl with chicken and had the veggies pub curry with chicken. Honestly I was expecting the curry to be bomb since Irish pubs are known for their curries. My curry was a bit bland but the worst part was the rice that it was served on. It was so hard and crunchy, it was like they scraped the bottom of the pan where all the overcooked rice was. As an Asian person who eats rice almost every day, it was not pleasant to have to eat this. I notified our server who replaced it. It was a bit better but I still had bits of hard rice. Because of the bland flavor and hard rice, I don't recommend this dish. My friend said her harvest bowl was good so perhaps I should have gotten that.

Whether you're out with friends or family, it's the kind of place where you can kick back, indulge, and enjoy some solid comfort food in a no-frills setting. The Must-Have Dishes Kitchen Sink Nacho Tray ($17.95) - An absolute steal! This massive tray of nachos is loaded with grilled chicken, chili, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and jalapeños, served with salsa and sour cream. Easily feeds four people and is hands-down worth coming back for. 9/10 Buffalo Chicken Sandwich ($14.95) - Crispy buffalo chicken with just the right amount of heat, paired with cool bleu cheese.

For food, we shared the Nachos, Clam Chowder and Whipped Feta. Everything was really good including the drinks. I wish we would have either ordered more food to try or came back for another meal. I loved the vibe and interior of The Tavern - it was spooky and old timey. You could see and feel the history of this hotel and it was awesome to experience. The dining room had a bunch of tables, but did not feel overcrowded. The Tavern is a great place to grab a drink and relax. It would also make great for a romantic date night. I also loved that the lobby was decorated with a bunch of pumpkins. Staff were also very friendly and attentive! I would absolutely come back here the next time we are in town! Check them out - you won't be disappointed!

The James is the best pub (think gastropub) experience in the vicinity. The owner is terrific, always friendly and amiable. Now to the problem. Our first waiter (a woman) brought us to a two seater outside, with six empty four seaters (the other two were occupied by one couple each). I asked if we could also sit at the four seater, and she began to argue about "what happens when we have a foursome who can't sit here?" I said, it's five o'clock, we'll be out of here before anyone shows up. The make this shorter, she persisted and finally made one of those passive aggressive statements, "if you insist..." By the way, when we paid our bill, none of the four seaters were seated with any more than two people. PS the fish sandwich and mussels are superb. Our waiter who saved the day, Scarlett. Thank you.
