    Chicken sandwich
    Peter L.

    Tavern Hall is located basically in one of the parking garages at Bellevue Square, right before the bridge over to Lincoln Square. It's a good spot for a shopping break as it has 2 bars, a large dining area, 20 beers on tap plus a wide ranging menu. Their whiskey selection is also decent, and they have a good house old fashioned. As for food, the tavern style pizza is not a bad version, being this far away from Chicago, and at $11 during HH, a good deal. The spicy chicken sando was also very good and filling. The place can get very busy, but service remains good. Overall, a good spot for a drink or a bite, with a good HH and convenient location.

    Tavern Chopped Salad
    Christopher A.

    I have been here before and had the chicken and waffles and it was really good. I chose the two appetizers of the tenderloin steak with peppers, and the half-and-half wings. The wings were awesome. Had a good crisp to them but loaded with flavor. They were not dry, they were very juicy. The tenderloin steak and peppers had such amazing flavor. And it had an incredible sauce that would've went well with a side of white rice. My date had the chopped salad and it was really good. Had a Mediterranean vibe to it. And then of course, had to get some fries.

    Came here again for our anniversary and it was just as good as last year! Happy hour menu is reasonably priced and the food is amazing. The jalapeño jelly for the cheese curds was flavorful and the burger was the perfect size. And the truffle fries.... perfection!

    We had a party of 7 had a large booth and children. Good food. Excellent drinks. Great service. Tons of food. Kids meals very generous. Booster seats. Large place. Could be noisier when busy. But fine while we were there.

    Stopped by for Super Bowl evening here and the vibe was amazing. A friend of ours had contacted them and made a prior reservation so it was easy to get in and grab our spot. They have a good spread of beers and their food is delicious too. We ordered their spicy chicken burger (nashville style - wasnt as hot but still flavorful), tavern burger, truffle fries, nachos, sweet potato fries, artichoke dip and loved all the shareables. Service was great even for such a busy evening. Ambience was amazing. Parking is never an issue with several lots in the vicinity for free parking. Overall we had a great evening and we look forward to visiting for many more fun game nights here.

    Stopped here to get some lunch and watch football. I absolutely love this place. Plenty of seating and several televisions to enjoy your favorite sports team, if that's your thing. I went solo, so I sat at the bar. The staff were excellent, and while they were busy with the lunch crowd, they made sure I knew they were aware I was waiting. The bartender brought over a jar of water for me to refill my glass, then took my order. I went with the Taco Smash Burger. GOOD LAWD that thang was good. I also had the fried pickles, but they were a tad too salty for me. I had to pull the batter off just to eat them. Maybe the chef got a little heavy-handed on the batter that day. I will undoubtedly revisit this place when I am back in town. You all should go check them out, and when you do, tell'em Drew sent ya! Y'all be easy now! Drew

    Child Pepperoni Pizza - so good!

    Stopped in as a family after Snowflake lane and was very pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, my daughter had the chicken strips, and my husband and son each ordered pizzas. The kids food promptly arrived which was awesome, but the plates were piping hot and they struggled to resist delving into their meals. Once they were able to, they were both satisfied. My grilled cheese was okay. It was deceiving with the cheese oozing out of the sides but - there was hardly any on the inside - however the bread was very tasty. It was better when dipped in the soup that's for certain. I was a little bummed because there were only two pickers (the picture on the menu made it look like there would be a lot more) and a random carrot with the meal. Our server was exceptionally friendly, and the vibe is always fun. It's safe to say we'll come in again soon.

    What a fantastic happy hour! Good selection of appetizers: $13 full sized juicy burgers, flavorful wings, $9 kale Caesar & a fluffy chocolate s'mores mousse. Friendly fast service, nice warm vibe in a clean bar/restaurant.

    As a non-local visiting Bellevue, you will find quite a few options to consider. I was fortunate enough to dine at Tavern Hall which was booming with business on this Saturday evening. There is a common vibe in both the appearance, décor and menu options at Taven Hall. You will see families as well as adults engaged in fun conversations and celebrations throughout. The restaurant has extensive seating which includes a row that overlooks to picturesque downtown area and has a good-sized lounge with monitors displaying sporting events for many preferences. The team there was extremely friendly and made every accommodation possible to fit the additional folks that joined our large party. I chose for my meal selection the Tavern Burger which was represented very accurately when it arrived. The burger was robust with freshness and flavor. In all honesty, it was one of the best burgers that I've had and was highlighted by the freshness of ingredients and the combined flavors. The fries were pretty traditional, but burger itself was quite filling in itself. The pickles, which appeared to be made in-house were fine. There were many aspects of Tavern Hall that would make it a regular destination of mine if it were located near my home. Great service, very good food, vast adult beverage options and a comfortable environment. My visit to Tavern Hall was the first, but will be the first of many upon my return to Bellevue. This was a very fun spot to enjoy a casual dinner while visiting this picturesque city. Enjoy!

    My team and I came for lunch, and it was busier than I expected. Looks like there was only one server covering most of the area, so he was pretty busy, and service wasn't the quickest. I got the Southern Style Fish & Chips, which was good, but I like my fish & chips with BBQ sauce along with the tartar sauce. So, I was slowly working on my fries, while waiting to eat my fish. Our server took a very long time, and we couldn't get his attention because he was busy with other tables. Everyone was halfway done with their food while I was still waiting for my BBQ sauce. Finally, someone from our table asked another staff member for BBQ sauce on his way to the bathroom. Their cocktails are yummy. Would love to come back for happy hour.

    I have a tradition of taking my parents to dinner on my birthday and this year chose Tavern Hall. We had a great time, food came out in relative time, everything tasted good, and we were checked in on frequently. We ordered a pepper mocktail and busman's (?) for them and other sodas. They liked them. We got two of the tavern trios to start with buffalo wings for one and an Asian inspired one for the second. It was a lot of food. The pretzels were a surprising winner. My parents ordered the tacos (they found it a bit salty) and the cubano (think they enjoyed it). I got the tavern bigger and it was okay, hefty. The fries were the winner for me. My partner got the Dijon chicken and enjoyed it. We got the skilled cookie and orange doughnuts for dessert. The cookie was full of chocolate and warm/gooey. The doughnuts weren't too sweet and had a touch of orange flavor, they were warm and the favorite of the table. Overall a solid experience!

    We love the tavern hall because we usually don't have to wait to be seated. Service is always kind and fast. We've been here with teens and kids and we all have fun. Great family ambiance. The food is always fresh, full of flavor and good alternatives from burgers to pizza rolls tacos and salads

    Wisconsin Cheese Curds
    Erin W.

    Great atmosphere to come in and watch the game, plus their music playlist was good. Our server Chelsea was so sweet and gave amazing recommendations as it was our first time dining here. We came during happy hour which was nice! The fried pickle weren't my favorite, I feel like there too thin 6/10. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds are INCREDIBLE, the cheese pull is unreal and omg the Jalapeño jam 10/10. The spicy chicken sando is cooked very well, but I feel like there wasn't exactly a standout flavor almost like it was missing something and it wasn't hot at all 8/10. The s'mores dessert is pretty sweet, but I like how it had graham cracker pieces giving it a bit of a crunch and the toasted marshmallow was delish 9/10. Overall the menu is very extensive and I think it's a great value for the price, I would 100% love to come back and try more dishes!

Server comes back and drops a ramekin of micro greens in the middle of the table. I've waited tables myself for over 10 years, from diners to fine dining, and I wouldn't have dreamed of ever acting like that with a guest. At this point I spoke to the manager and he took the server off our table. The manager was very understanding and acted quickly to switch us to a new server, and they let us order the oysters with just the migonette. Even though the manager comped the oysters, and was trying to salvage our experience, our visit was pretty much ruined by that server. I've never been openly disrespected by a waiter like that before, and I've played the interaction out in my mind multiple times, and I still have no idea what made him crash out like that. Servers are the face and the personality of any restaurant. And to see a waiter get so openly hostile when someone is trying to I ever encountered a server who was even a fraction as rude as this guy was - he went from zero to hostile in a matter of seconds, and I still have absolutely no idea why.

My second favorite thing to eat was the lobster pasta, followed by the tempura shrimp, and bang bang chicken. They did give us a welcome glass of "champagne," but it was completely un drinkable. The service was extraordinarily slow, but this was probably a function of them being understaffed and everyone was very nice. I say this more so that you can plan accordingly and adjust expectations than to be hypercritical. I should also note that we split plates, so you are seeing half portions.

    While the food here is decent, service is good, and the atmosphere feels calm and inviting, I had a…read morefew cons in my dining experience there last night: First, after seating ourselves, it took us at least 15-20 min just to even get 'seen' by the staff. This was while the place was practically empty, so I'm not sure what else could have been occupying their time. Second, I ordered the pork shoulder stir fry which wasn't bad but had several large pieces of pure fat & gristle in it that I felt a high quality restaurant would have taken out of the dish. It's indicative of lazy & careless food preparation skills. Also, the basmati rice was very under-cooked...some pieces were even crunchy. Lastly, after leaving the place, I realized that I accidentally left my sunglasses there. So I called later that evening to inquire if they had found them. I discovered they route all incoming calls to a bot that instantly made me feel unimportant and unappreciated. What's worse is it tried to connect me with someone in the restaurant, but kept looping back into its own messaging narrative. What an absolute PITA. This enables me to make a broader point: Restaurants have to get it through their heads that cutting costs has negative impact on customer experience, putting the lifeblood of their business into jeopardy. Take the widespread adoption of QR code-based menus during COVID...how many restaurants do you know actually switched back to real menus after COVID passed? The answer is very few. The reason why? They are too stingy to pony up the dough and ignore the benefit to the customer experience. They figure, 'people already know how to do that so why spend the money on printing up menus anymore?". They couldn't care less about what customers might actually enjoy more, and that's the real travesty. If restaurants are going to force their customers into a self-serve model (as so many have nowadays), then why bother tipping anyone? I am so fed up of a world where the idolatry of wealth has surpassed the appreciation and value of real, engaging human experiences. The Central Bar + Restaurant could help reverse this course if they ever decide to they put customer experience first instead of their own profits. UPDATE: Added one star because they actually had my shades...went ot go pick them up today.
