    Baked tortellini Bolognese
    Will P.

    Waiter, Gabriel was a delight. He was on top of things no question. Both meals came out generally hot, except for the sweet potato fries, which were surprisingly close to room temperature. That was certainly disappointing. Crispy Korean sandwich was excellent. The baked tortellini. Bolognese was extremely salty. Definitely a solid comfort food. We were able to sit at the patio, which was bright and comforting. The inside atmosphere is way too dark for me. Almost like going into a nightclub. Coming in for seating was a bit frustrating. They had four people as graders. But had no clue where to see us so we walked around the entire place. I wanted to sit us at a high top then I said no thank you you rather have a table and then just made up my mind like just see us outside at a table. They clearly have no direction on what they're receiving plans should be to benefit the wait staff. They do have a very excellent beer menu. Generally not a beer drinker, but it's always nice to go in here and find something that you're going to like.

    Ranch dip

    I was walking around the area because we stayed over here for one night and found this spot and decided to come grab a drink and an appetizer before heading into the city. If I lived here this would definitely be a go to spot for me, everything on the menu sounded so good it was hard to decide what to order because I wanted to try everything. I hung out at the bar and enjoyed an espresso martini and I ended up getting their house chips with ranch dip that was super good! It came with their house chips that had buffalo seasoning on them as well as carrots and celery. It was a really refreshing dip. Both bartenders that were working were super friendly. This restaurant is way bigger than I was expecting it to be but it is for sure a popular spot because it filled up quick!

    I enjoyed a couple drinks here around 4pm on a Saturday. It was not crowded and I sat at the bar. I walked over from the gym, it's in a good area with other shops and restaurants. They have an extensive drink menu with seasonal cocktails as well as standard beer/wine. I started with the campfire espresso martini and it was delicious- deliciously chilled, nice jolt of espresso and a couple mini marshmallows to top it off. I also had a glass of Riesling, it's nice that they do 6 and 9 oz options. The place was decorated for the holidays which I always love seeing. And staff was pleasant/attentive. Pretty standard pricing but overall a good place to get started or enjoy the main course at.

    Sesame Salmon* **in a sauce

    I generally like Tavern on the Square in it's different locations. The menu is interesting with lots of options. I especially like the bowls, like the salmon bowl. There is also a cool vibe like an upscale sports bar. Unfortunately, the food in Littleton was terrible and the service a bit unfriendly. My favorite salmon bowl had overcooked dry salmon, barely any avocado (like only a few tiny cubes) and the sauce was just dumped on it. It was marginally edible. The usually friendly service was not. I tried to get the attention of one waitress from the adjacent table to all ask a simple question. She walked by me twice without stopping. And, on the third time, she told me "I can't help you I'm not your server." The restaurant management needs to come here and up the game.

    Baja fish tacos and tater tots

    The restaurant is in a plaza with a bunch of other little shops. There's plenty of parking. They have all the tvs on showing different football games, so it's the perfect spot to watch all the games. Our server was nice and got our order in fast. I got the house sangria and the fish tacos. We also got the tater tot appetizer. The food was all very good!

    Came here during the holiday season (2 days after Christmas) and the place was quite packed - I would only recommend coming if you had a reservation or are okay waiting a bit. We got here earlier than our time and had to wait a bit which was fine. They seated us a bit later than our designated time and then took a few minutes to even get us some waters - service definitely felt like it was lacking a bit. The menu had a good selection of apps and entrees which was nice. The starters were a little disappointing honestly - nachos felt very disproportionate for chips to toppings, the crab cake was too small, and the sprouts were a bit too salty. The pasta I got was also a little lacking flavor wise, but portion wise it wasn't too bad - I had enough to save for another meal the next day. Dessert was honestly pretty good, I liked the cookie and thought it was a good size. Food in general was super slow and the water refills were also lacking - honestly, not a great meal. Overall, I had an okay time. I probably wouldn't come back if I had a choice - mediocre food and slow service. The apps definitely were a skip for next time, but the entrees and dessert are okay and I think worth it more than the rest of the menu.

    We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and were seated promptly. It was great to see that there was no wait! They gave us the regular menu and we waited a while until our server came up to us so that we could clarify if they still have brunch. And the answer is yes, they only have brunch until 2:30 pm and had given us the wrong menu. Funny, nobody acknowledged their mistake. We were very hungry to begin with and this delayed our brunch by another 15-20 mins. The stars are only for the food because while it took some time to arrive, everybody enjoyed what they ordered. The fish and chips were both fried well, crispy and the fish was fresh and tender. The tartar sauce and slaw were tasty but had extremely small portions, especially the slaw which was served in an container meant for a dipping sauce. The pancakes with the strawberry rhubarb compote were tasty and not overly sweet. The brunch bowl was also good and a large portion. Overall, the food was great, service was ok, the server didn't seem to happy to see us but hey what can ya do.

    Garden crunch salad
    Joseph M.

    Delicious, diverse, and WAY bigger than we expected. If you go here, no matter who you are or what you enjoy, they have something for you. The service was not the fastest I've ever experienced, but certainly quick, so don't let those 3 stars turn you away! We sat outside, and even in June, the temperature was great, so I would recommend their outdoor or patio seating. They always have music playing, and all over it was a great experience. I got the Steakhouse burger, which I asked for as a medium rare, and I was not disappointed. What they may lack in positive reviews, they make up for in serving size and delicious flavors. The servers were polite and patient, so I would definitely recommend this place...

The place was quiet, which allowed Ben to sirens time talking to us and giving is the ones and outs of his creations. Our server was Sienna, who was bright and personable, and worked side by side with Chef Ben to make our meal memorable. We started our meal with oysters. Chef gave us his recommendations and they were has delicious as he hyped them up to be. Then we tried the lobster guacamole, which the star of the shows was actually the bacon lardon that's layered in. A must try for anyone who loves this dip. I had the pineapple braised pulled pork tacos. I could barely finish two, yet alone the 3 healthy sized tacos. And my girlfriend was treated to both the crab cake and the specialty salmon cakes. She proclaimed the salmon the winner of that cake battle. For desert, which we didn't finish either, was the berry cobbler. I compared it to an oversized toaster strudel, but homemade and much more flavorful. Overall, we love it here. This is our 2nd trip and we'll be sure to come again soon! Pro Tip: sit at the Oyster Bar, watching the kitchen working is a phenomenal experience. Thank you again to Chef Ben and Sienna! And look, they also have events coming up!!

The staff had a hard time figuring how to take my payment, though were very nice and apologetic about it. No napkins or eating utensils were included in our take out bag. Perhaps if we came in the late afternoon, we would have had a better experience. I really wanted to like them. We would be open to another opportunity to try it.

After she left, I waited for the blonde host to address me. She blankly instead stared behind me for a few minutes and I watched her confused. Is she high? I wondered but finally moved on when the other brunette host asked if I was dining inside. Yes, 6 seats and a high chair I requested. The high chair we were given had a broken belt. Later when we were seated I switched the chair for another one behind me. Keeping broken high chairs should be illegal. Anyway, I was very impressed with the children's menu. It was plentiful and had options for everyone. Each meal came with icecream as well :) The food was delicious. I split the hot honey chicken wrap with my husband along with a plate of calamari. The calamari dish and sauce was one of the best I have had in a restaurant in a long time. I was impressed. Anyway, the 4 star rating is more for the tasty food and having an excellent kids menu. Otherwise, I would have given this establishment a 3 star rating. We had to request waters to be served to us which was insane to me. Unless we requested a waters, our waitress refused to bring us any. It made no sense.

A little dry in the interior. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Grilled Shrimp: Plump shrimp whose paprika-heavy rub and grill flavor balanced the butteriness, with a pepper aioli joining as well. On top, pickled fennel. Underneath, grilled sourdough that soaked in the grill, butter, and seafood flavors. Fantastic but no longer on the menu as of last week. -- Forge & Vine Cheeseburger: All the same ingredients as on a Big Mac, only of much higher quality, on a thick burger of high quality. I've been hoping to relive the glory of my first burger here (see previous review), but it's been rocky. Good grill flavor and outer crusting, but medium to medium well when I ordered medium rare. (Yes, I mentioned it to the server and manager.) Still a pretty good burger, and the bacon I added this time was thick and walking the tightrope between crispy and bendy. But a big miss on hitting greatness again. So I gave it another chance the next visit, and it was again overdone. But this time I sent it back, and the one they sent out was very good. The most recent visit only required one try: excellent, with the right crust outside and proper pink and juicy inside, along with a solid assortment of vegetables and condiments. An exemplary burger-- when they cook it right. -- Calamari: An eye-catching appetizer with the mostly thin rings pretty much treated like chicken wings, with a spicy tangy glaze, an aïoli underneath, and some kimchi on top for presentation. Very good crunch and flavor, but thicker pieces would have allowed a better tasting of the seafood itself. Still very enjoyable and I'd get it again. -- Shrimp Cocktail: Solid job, good size, presented in ice with lemon wedges and a cocktail sauce a little light on the horseradish. -- Grilled Swordfish Meunière: A thick slab, lightly grilled, fairly. A thin brown butter sauce, capers, and sautéed mustard greens added some much needed moisture and oomph. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Jimmy Nardello Peppers: Long, bright red, no heat, slightly sour, and somewhat fruity like peppadew, dressed up with garlic aioli, chimichurri, and coriander seed. Outstanding. Great beer pairing. Beautiful space. Good to outstanding service. Cody pours his heart and soul into the experience, exuding enthusiasm from the greeting through the check. Some might find it a little overdramatic, but after enduring too many AWOL and near-comatose servers elsewhere, I can't get enough of it. I like this place, and consider it good to very good, but it seems like the proteins (especially the grilled items) turn up a little too dry a little too often to consider them great. Their pricing is high but well worth it when the execution is there. When it's not, it's a too-expensive just-okay. Despite the inconsistency, going with a 4 based on the most recent visit being problem-free.

My husband and I came from out of state for an event and decided to stop here for dinner based on reviews. We drove in from Marlborough, but traveled from Texas. I should have leaned on Yelp, because the google reviews were much more positive. I've never had food where literally everything tasted like water or vegetables tasted like they'd been out overnight. I think the vegetables were rancid and that they're trying to keep ingredients longer than normal since the season is changing.

It's always weddings happening here, so maybe that's all the revenue they need. I would never come back here. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Unfortunately my stomach has been messed up all day because of this terrible restaurant.
