    Tavern Club
    Maura S.

    What a gem! The ambience is welcoming and warm, the staff are attentive and knowledgeable, and the food was divine! I ordered the Tavern Club with fries and savored every bite! I wish I hadn't gotten full...I just wanted to keep eating! Price might seem a bit high for the rural location, but let me assure you that the freshness and flavor are worth it! Highly recommended!

    Love this place! It can be a bit expensive but good quality and local showcase of food from the Amish and other community members. We got the lunch special black and blue salad. Very nice lunch item with a great vinaigrette. We also got the wings of the week which were hot honey and would eat those everyday! We also got the stand out star the sticky ribs. Def have to get and try and all of these items are great shareable. Also I had the pomegranate Paloma and need to learn how to make and could drink two more. Overall great community spot love the decor and great staff!

    Love that the Tavern is still open, but not fond of the new menu and look. I enjoyed dining there on special days as a child in the 50's and 60's, and again about 20 years ago. Still we had a good Sunday brunch. The sticky buns are much the same as I recall and I took the Amish popcorn as carry out to eat as we traveled on that day. A young man provided excellent service. The bill arrive tucked into an old book of Keat's poetry - nice touch!

    We Stopped in for brunch with my son and his girlfriend. This place is always relaxing and oozes upscale while also being down to earth. Service is always excellent and Rachel did a great job with keeping up with the obvious high standards. Wife enjoyed her espresso martini but my Bloody Mary was definitely lacking, seemed almost sour. The honey yogurt bowl was light and very refreshing. My buck burger was exactly as described. The young lady got French toast and it looked as if it could feed an army. She found it delicious and enjoyed the Chantilly cream. My son got the chicken and biscuit sliders which he very much enjoyed but he raved about the side of breakfast potatoes.

    Steak and fries

    What a beautiful restaurant! Our entire experience was incredible. We shared the flaky biscuits with summery butter and honey . We each had the steak and fries. The steak was grilled to perfection. The fries were crispy and seasoned so well, huge portion too! Can't wait to come back to try the fried chicken.

    I rarely leave reviews. Honestly, I don't think I have ever left a Yelp review, certainly not a good one. However, as I planned my meal for tonight, I decided to check out the Taverns Yelp page to scroll some photos and saw all of the negative reviews and I was DISGUSTED with all of the negative ones! I need to actually breathe and sort through my thoughts: #1 The food is amazing! My husband and I have been by over a handful of times since the renovation and have not once had a bad meal! #2 Speaking of the renovation, they did amazing! The place looks better than ever! I saw someone in the comments complaining about the upstairs bathroom being closed to the public due to a private party up there-- hey guess what, that bathroom wasn't ever open to the public before! Be grateful it exists at all! Also- they literally spent god knows how much INSTALLING AN ELEVATOR, and you want to go cry accessibility?? As someone that actually does have a disability, this renovation has been amazing for me. Go to your chain restaurant, eat your subpar meal, and complain to someone else. #3 Rude owners? Unbelievable. The husband and wife have both greeted my husband and myself on separate occasions to check on us, our food, our experience. I could tell you so much about them, where they are from, why they opened this place, how the renovations went, it's honestly wild. I went to the old tavern a million times in my life and I have no idea who owned that place.. the owner actually brought my mother-in-law out homemade brown butter cookies on her birthday (along with her birthday dessert) to take home for later for free! I mean, come on. Maybe you all should just be nicer. #4 Who complains about young servers? A wait at a restaurant? My servers have been so sweet and always made the best recommendations to ensure our meal was fantastic. Anything from "you have to try that with this sauce" or "I will get you some extra sauce to go with that, you'll need it!". You could easily say- going the extra mile. We have never waited once, but have always made a reservation. Who wouldn't? A new and popular restaurant, seems logical? #5 The price tag on a fantastic farm-to-table meal with an ever-changing seasonal menu, that supports the local farmers/fisherman/etc., PLUS the ambiance of a Joanna Gaines masterpiece. But yes, it's just too much. Ok. That was a long rant. But this place deserves to be 5-stars all the way. Please enjoy the photos of my 5-star meals that I remembered to take pictures of!

    ABSOLUTE PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH 10/10!…read more Perfection. Everything about Talbots is absolute perfection. I eat A LOT of food, and one common denominator I see among top-tier restaurants is that the owners and management are a direct reflection of the overall experience, quality, and taste. Talbots is no different. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, like lifetime friends. Our waitress, Teresa, was fantastic. She passed all the vibe checks and matched our energy immediately, all the signs of a veteran server you want guiding you through one of the best eating experiences of your life. She gave us her recommendations and left us to decide. We knew we were here for the #hashtagyouwont 36oz ribeyes, but we wanted to see what else was recommended since everything looked and sounded amazing. We decided to order a lot of food, almost everything that was recommended. This will be a bit of a long-winded review, but I'm sure the true foodies will appreciate it, so here we go: THE APPETIZERS The Brie: How can brie be so good that it deserves to be talked about first? I have no idea, but it was excellent. The strawberry-jalapeño jam, brie, candied pecans, baby naan, and fruit just worked so well together. An absolute hit. Pork Cheek Tacos: These melted in your mouth and exploded with flavor. They were also a really decent size, we were expecting little bite-sized tacos on a dumpling wrapper, but got two substantial tacos instead which was a pleasant surprise. Naan Bombs: Flat out delicious, and there were enough in the serving for everyone to have a few. Duck Wontons: So unique and flavorful. These were like little empanada explosions of flavor. THE MAIN EVENT: THE 36OZ RIBEYE When I tell you this was a perfect steak, this was a perfect steak. Cooked medium rare, oozing with flavor, and charred to absolute perfection on the outside. That is no easy feat with a cut this size, but somehow Talbot and crew made it seem like a walk in the park. Hidden under the steak, soaking up all the juices, are the house cut fries. I forgot they were even there because of the sheer size of the meat! By the time I discovered them, they were soaked with steak juice, but somehow remained crispy and soggy at the same time. It was brilliant, the fries almost had a poutine like aspect to them. Magnificent, completely unique, and made so much sense. As for the side of corn salad.... absolutely mind blowing. It just looked like corn with some sauce on it, nothing special at all. I am so sorry I underestimated you, Mr. Corn Salad. My God, this stuff was amazing. It didn't make sense to me, but I didn't care, I just kept shoveling it into my mouth. DESSERT We saved room for dessert (of course) and got three: The Chocolate Cake: A plate of pure, chocolaty goodness. Pecan Sweet Potato Pie: Spectacular. Coconut Cream Cheesecake: Wow. I am a sucker for coconut and cream cheese anything, and this checked every single box. THE VERDICT Throughout the night, we watched Talbot go up to each table to check in on everyone, and the chef even came out to talk to us. It was an absolute perfect meal top to bottom, start to finish. You can tell how much this entire establishment cares about what they do, and it is a direct reflection on the food. It's not often I can say a meal is flawless, so I have to give them their flowers in a long well deserved review. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation for Talbots Taproom. P.s. Extra kudos for all the cool art and overall atmosphere. There is a ton of stuff to do outside as well but we were there on a chilly night so remained inside. We saw a patio, disc golf, and all sorts of other activities, even a tree house. We can't wait to make the hour trip again and enjoy all they have to offer once summer is in full swing!

    Service and the bar was upbeat, friendly and overall excellent from "Good Morning" bartender "P"…read more Drinks were good. Wife had the Always Sunny which she enjoyed. Steak was well seasoned and cooked properly. I had the Asian BBQ, Nobody Likes a Party Pooper. Everything tasted pretty good but was all cool. NOTHING came out hot. Not sure how they try to keep the ribs and pork belly warm but it wasn't working. And not sure why the egg roll and potstickers were cool. Nice relaxed, comfortable atmosphere at the bar.
