Food was very good and service was good especially for a big party. The restaurant was pretty quiet and it was a fun time.

When I tell you our food was BEYOND our expectations, I'm not kidding you. Our sever was very kind, vibes were as expected in a sports bar... but the FOOD! Not only did our dishes come out promptly, perfect temp, beautifully, but it was so friken delicious. My husband and I ordered the streak dish with rosemary parm fries, chicken Mac n cheese and the pretzel bites. The bites were fluffy and accompanied by warm beer cheese. The steak was extremely delicious with a garlic buttery flavor and juicy texture. The Mac n cheese was flavor by my husband with the shells being perfectly cooked, a good cheese pull and yummy chicken. Not only did our food come out super quick, we never missed our server. She was on it! Bonus points for one of the best cocktails I've ever had hands down. read more

Perfect and better than touted!! I'll start with the food. The lamb gyro was made with real lamb and perfectly balanced. The pita bread was very fresh and perhaps toasted slightly. The lamb sliced thin and just flavorful enough. The tzatziki sauce perfect, not over powering. The veggies balanced. Perfect. The service was friendly and prompt. Perfect. The atmosphere was a very small comfortable pub. We sat next to the roaring fireplace. The music selection was excellent mix of old and new Irish PERFECT!! I'll be back. read more

Every dish we had was so good and there were many unique options. We started with the bang bang broccoli which was tasty but I recommend getting the scallion ranch to dip because the flavors paired so well. The chicken tenders were super crispy and also gluten free! I got the honey sriracha sauce and I love that flavor normally but I would probably try a different one. The steak crunch wrap was so good, almost like an elevated quesadilla. We went for lunch on a Friday and the service was kind of slow considering it wasn't extremely packed so I would imagine on game days you would be there for a while. Overall, very good spot for a sports bar with tons of gf options read more

I'd walk, I wouldn't run to eat here. Parking is terrible, I had to make loops to find street parking. If you want to avoid headaches and park somewhere there are lots that very from $30-$75 depending where you go it is not cheap and I almost did not eat here because of that; if you're commuting by train/bus that is best case scenario. The service was amazing! Our waitress was attentive, and friendly. It did take time for our food to get to us on what appeared to be a slow night but we got our entrees not too long after our appetizers (starters). The food was bland, we ordered the Burrata, General Tso chicken, and the bayou Pasta. The menu has a bunch of selections available. I will return to try more from the menu but this time around was not good, temp was good, presentation was awesome, taste was bland and a let down. The restaurant is beautiful, they have a bar, booths and high-tops. Taverns don't usually look this great, but this one inviting, cleanly, and pleasant to be in. Despite the terrible parking situation, and blandness of food I would definitely try this spot again, but I'm in no rush to do so. read more

I was staying nearby and looking for a casual place for a quick dinner. I ordered the fish and chips which was pretty good. FYI, it's a big fish of fish rather than several smaller pieces if you are looking to share. The service was super quick, and this looks like a good place to chill and watch a game. read more

Burgers were okay but had gristle throughout. Reuben was a bit tough as well. Massive number of draft taps. Parmesan fries had little cheese. Specialty cocktails were$14 as expected. Wait staff were quite pleasant given how busy they were. May choose a different restaurant in the Boston area. read more

Food was pretty good. My husband had the general tsao's chicken and I had the fried chicken sandwich gluten free. The chocolate cheesecake (also gluten free was very good). Lots of options on the gluten free front. Our server was so nice I wish I remembered his name. (If you somehow read this may the force be with you ;) . He gave us many Boston recommendations. read more

Came here for a late dinner and we were able to be seated right away which was great! Our server was sweet and prompt, and everyone we met was very nice. We ordered the burrata to share, but I was quite disappointed with the stale and super hard bread, it was not an easy app to eat. The burrata was also a little underwhelming, I wish they had more of the delicious fig/grape jam to pair with it! For our mains, we got a couple of burgers and a hot honey chicken. The burgers were ok, nothing too spectacular, but I did really love the sweet potato fries. I was also disappointed in the hot honey chicken, I wish the hot honey flavor was more prevalent in the chicken! I think I was also expected fried chicken, but it was ended up being grilled. Overall, their outdoor dining patio was nice to relax in, and it was a filling dinner. For the price, I'm not sure I would say their food was worth it. However, still a nice option if you are in the area and need a meal. read more

Tavern in the Square was on my must-visit list while in Boston, and I couldn't recommend it more. My group and I were unable to make reservations but only waited for a bit to be seated. The place was packed even on a weeknight, and I can see why, the food and drinks were fantastic. They have a super impressive gluten-free selection including elusive gf fried foods you normally can't find in restaurants. I loved how many gf and vegetarian options I had to choose from and share with the table. The service was great, and we received everything within a reasonable amount of time. My only regret is that I didn't return prior to driving back to Jersey. read more

Was visiting Boston and needed a quick bite and walked in for dinner. It was a weekday evening and there were some folks but also enough space at the bar so was able to get a seat right away. Service was friendly and in line with other similar spots. Food was pretty good. Across a few days I tried both the chicken and bolognese and found that both were enjoyable. Good flavors overall. All in all, good spot to visit if you're staying by the area. read more

We went to Tavern in the Square without a reservation and we were given a table. (Very unusual for this area!) since it's across the street from TD Garden there is heavy foot traffic around and reservations are highly recommended. This particular time we weren't looking for a big meal just a little something so we wouldn't be hungry later on. We ordered a pizza. We were pleasantly surprised by the taste and happy that it was just the right amount for two of us. Then we also had room for dessert so I had the chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and caramel sauce and my husband had the seven layer chocolate cake. (He couldn't finish it) it's definitely big enough for two or three people to share. I wasn't leaving any of my cookie and ice cream behind. read more

We stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat before grabbing a show and really enjoyed a great burger. The Tavern burger was a rather large burger ( not complaining), served with sweet potato fries. My girlfriend had the black and bleu burger. They were cooked perfectly and were very good. We were anxious to get in and out in I order to get to our show and they were able to take care of us.

Just across the street from TD Garden - prepare for a lively atmosphere and wait on game nights. Bar seating is first come, first served. We stopped in around 4pm ahead of a 7pm game and were able to grab a bar spot while we waiting. For tables, they'll take your cell number and text when the table is ready. The bar staff was helpful and attentive. Lots of taps and they have plenty of varieties available for all beer tastes. The cocktail menu is also extensive. We got a table pretty soon after ordering drinks and service was great here as well. Our server had some great recommendations for this pescatarian. The quinoa bowl was a good portion and great flavor combinations. I absolutely love roasted beets so this was a favorite meal on our trip. Hubby had the Goddess Garden Burger - primarily sweet potato. He also liked the flavor, but it was lacking some texture and the burger fell apart easily - it would benefit from quinoa in the patty or some extra crunchy toppings. Overall, the food and service made this a good experience. I would certainly return to try out other menu options! read more

My wife and I have been here a handful of times back in 2021 when staying close by, but finally revisited it. We were staying in a nearby hotel and visited after the concert at the Garden finished. Which I assume they get a large crowd after show/game just due to being open late and location wise. We anticipated many having the idea we did so tried getting there quickly. Unfortunately, when we got there some medical emergency was occurring with a patron so we formed a line until that was dealt with. Staff were friendly about this reassuring it would be solved quickly so kudos to them for handling this with a large volume of people showing up. Once inside the bar was first come first served so we snagged two seats at the bar. Handed drink menus and their late night food menu which did have a good variety despite its small size. They had a lot of bartenders to deal with the late night crowd and they seemed friendly but I sensed a little annoyance likely dealing with many already intoxicated people. Drink wise with fall around the corner I grabbed the pumpkin espresso martini and my wife grabbed their non-alcoholic watermelon margarita. The pumpkin espresso martini was good with just enough flavor to make it feel different than a typical one but enough of a classic espresso martini that makes it a crowd favorite. My wife's drink was decent but she would pick something else next time. We have certainly had much better mocktails before, but appreciate that they some NA options. Even as people who drink we like to have mocktails just as much. Food wise we settled on their nachos and added chicken for an extra $4. Size wise it was a good portion for splitting and was a good late night meal for us. I do wish they layered the toppings a little bit more as quite a few chips had nothing. The chips were salted just right though and overall taste was pretty good especially as a late night option. Overall a good after concert meal with decent drinks. It has sports bar vibes and I can only speak for late night for this review but worth stopping in for drinks and food after a game or show at TD Garden. Just don't expect to be the only one with this plan due to location. read more

Beer list was excellent, service was on point, and the fries were exactly what you hope for. Easily on track for 4, maybe even 5 stars for the kind of casual dining you pay for. Then the burger arrived... ordered medium, but what I got looked like it had entered witness protection. Not a hint of pink, just a dry slab cooked so far past done it had forgotten its identity. The seasoning and toppings actually showed up for work, but there's only so much they can do when the main act has tapped out. Every bite felt like an endurance test powered by pints. The vibe works, kind of a Yard House that finally edited its phonebook of a menu. That said, if the kitchen asks how I want it cooked, the least they can do is be within shouting distance of the answer. 3/5 is generous if I could do 2.5/5 that's closer to the truth. read more

Bartender with the long black hair was an absolute star and so sweet!! I've been going to TITS around Boston since I was a teen and it has barely changed here. The baked tortellini was TO DIE FOR. Just...just goddamn perfect. Baked so some had some crispy to them but perfectly cooked pasta and it was creamy and fab. Give me 10 right now. I didn't finish and took it to go and in my rush left it at the bar which I didn't realize until I was on the T so that's sadly on me but I can't say enough! Good vibes, good food! read more

I like this restaurant it's really good. It has reasonable prices good food great servers.

My favorite neighborhood spot! I live in the West End, so this is my go-to for takeout or meeting up with friends before a game or concert at TD Garden. I've worked my way through pretty much the entire menu, but my absolute favorites--and constant go-tos--are the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Quesadilla, Cornflake Fried Chicken Tenders, Tavern Burger (when they have an Impossible patty), Chicken Avocado Club, and the Quinoa Bowl. If you're debating sides, do yourself a favor and get the Garlic Mashed Potatoes--hands down the best I've had anywhere. Honorable mention to the Steak + Avocado Salad, which is my twin sister's favorite! The vibes here are always great, especially on game nights, and the staff is super friendly with quick service. I've also been for brunch a couple of times and really enjoyed it! Highly recommend this spot. read more

I dont usually write the reviews while O am on a date but THIS RESTAURANT DESERVES IT!!! The food was on another level! We started with the Bang Bang Broccoli which was recommended to us by the hotel front desk. It is difficult to describe just how incredibly delicious this dish was! Tempura friend broccoli in a sweet and spicy chili sauce they make here. The first bite had both me and my husband say WOW! It is an explosion of flavor!!!! We also got fried pickles as an appetizer and they were exactly what you would want from a fried pickle with the perfect amount of breading. It was also served with secret sauce which was yummy and not spicy at all. For dinner my husband got a burger which he said was cooked just to his liking and delicious. He also loved the tots he got as his side. I got the chicken barra sandwich which was phenomenal! The fig jam added just the tight amount of sweet. I also upgraded my fries to the garlic herb parm fries. They are the best ones i have ever had!!! Not greasy yet had the flavors you would hope for. Also came with a white colored dipping sauce that was garlic parm too!! Now that we have covered our food lets talk about the service. KEVIN OS AMAZING!!! He was so attentive and offered recommendations. He is friendly and kind and what you would want in a perfect server! The restaurant itself is super comfortable. Being a heavier woman i am sometimes squished in yhe booths. Tonights has plenty of room and lots of cushioning. As for ambiance it has a tavern feel which is a great thing since its a tavern.

Huge TVs to watch the games, plenty of space to catch up with coworkers and friends, and the bartenders are on top of your drinks.
