We stopped in on or way to Vermont and was glad to be able to get in. We were really hungry and they fit the bill. The food was good and the service was excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the clam chowder. read more

The ambiance is nice here. They were all decked out for St Patrick's Day and it was super festive. The food on the other hand definitely needs work. We started with the onion rings and there were awesome! It's stops there! I had a fish special and it was a plain piece of fish with some lemon on it. Super boring! The mashed potatoes and bowl of lettuce that came with it were fine. My friend got a chicken special that had sauce on sauce! Two paper thin pieces of chicken with a sweet glaze and then a creamy sauce over it. Weird. They also got the au gratin potatoes and enjoyed them. Dessert was a super fail. We got an apple crisp that looked beautiful but the apples were big, undercooked chunks and barely any crumb topping. We also had the chocolate parfait which was ice cream with a splatter of chocolate sauce. I may give it another try if someone else wanted to go, but I am not in a hurry to go back. Service was great! read more

Tavern is our go to spot in Westfield for quality food and service. I usually opt for the onion soup but chose the prime rib sandwich instead. In retrospect, I should have stayed with the onion soup. Although flavorful, the prime rib was not cut in slices but very small portions making me feel like it was leftover from the roast. Served with au jus and fantastic fries but again, not really prime rib. I don't have a pix due to faulty iPhone camera but next time. Ambiance is very clean and up to date with spectacular high ceilings dating back to the days when it was the Westfield Post Office. Prices are very fair. If you haven't been give it a try. Staff is amazing. read more

So this is my second time here, definitely gonna be my last... the first experience was mid at very best, the service both times was good... this time around though is unacceptable... I ordered the nachos with chili, the chili was ok, but the pico de gallo was an abomination, the lack of any sort of lime or salt was bad enough, then mix in some Italian spices and herbs and that's their pico, and the main thing people look for when getting nachos is cheese, these had like 5 crumbs of cheese, it made my brain hurt, like, put on some cheese and that would make the awful pico and mid chili better... the atmosphere is great, what a great building, it's to bad it's wasted on this place read more

Nice hometown pub. Some of the entrees could use some work. A bit uninspired. The wings are great though.

Great atmosphere. I ordered the stuffed peppers. Honestly speaking the presentation was good but the filling lacked flavor, very bland not very appetizing. The only thing that gave it flavor was the marinara sauce. And the side mashed potatoes had the texture of boxed mashed potatoes. Left disappointed. read more

Ok, the restraint was open with tall ceilings and spacious. The wait staff was friendly and spot on making sure your waters are full, and checking to see if you need anything else. The food was good and good size portions. Now I would have given them 5 stars but my daughter who has a gluten allergy ordered the gluten free pasta which has a $3 up charge and comes with a soup or salad. We asked to substitute that for the mashed potatoes which were less$$$ . They could have been accommodating on this one small thing, it would have gone a long way in customer satisfaction. I might eat here again but will probably try some other local spots to see if they are more accommodating. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is tavern style in a re-purposed beautiful old U.S. Post Office.. The memu is a pretty typical pub / tavern menu with no real surprises. I had the grilled pork chops with scalloped potatoes. Two very nice sized pork chops served with a salad, apple sauce and freshly baked rolls. The food was presented nicely, but I thought it lacked flavor. The pork chops could have used some spices, a crust of some type (blue cheese or even bread crumb), or a marinade, and the potatoes could have used some cheese or other flavor enhancer. They have a decent number of draught beers. The bar is centrally located in the dining area, which is designed very nicely. This place is probably a great weekend hangout. read more

Good "old school" restaurant and bar. A true gem in Downtown Westfield, MA. Friendly staff and great service.

We went to dinner last night. Food was very bland and not what we expected from the reviews. Our food was poor. She threw stuff on the table didn't lay it down. She messed up our order. Took our food plates out very disrespectfully and also had a little bit of an attitude. She was an older woman I'm not sure what was going on not a good impression or representation for a restaurant . Will not go back do not recommend.. read more

I had the baked stuffed scrod, beef barley soup, crab cakes and penne. The fish was moist and the stuffing was very tasty. The soup was loaded with beef. The crab cakes came 3 to an order. I could only eat 1 and took the rest home. Large portions of everything!! read more

Wonderful experience. Restaurant was clean and seating was comfortable. Staff was exceptional and food was delicious and well presented. Highly recommend the Veal Romano, Baked Stuffed Scrod, and Apple Crisp (when available). read more

Went in today in accompany with a service dog, not a comfort dog. The woman manager told me I had to leave because Massachusetts just passed a law saying that only seeing eye dogs are allowed in places that the public is welcome. Untrue, and a lie. It is the law of the land that peoples with disabilities are allowed in public places with their service animal. This manager is very uninformed and has no sympathy for those under the umbrella of the A.D.A. Americans with Disabilities Act. Very unprofessional, and ignorant on her part. I gave her a copy of the law,and she still said that Massachusetts only allows seeing eye dogs. Do Not! go here if you have a disability. read more

We have been here a few times and it never disappoints. We had lunch today and the food was delicious. Our server Kasia was wonderful and friendly and very attentive. It was nice inside especially due to the warm weather outside. read more

Went here tonight for the first time. We went to the restaurant and did not venture into the bar tonight. The restaurant and bar are separated so whether you are looking for a quiet place to have dinner and conversation, or a more casual atmosphere, it seems they have what you are looking for. Our waitress was courteous and very pleasant as was the rest of the waitstaff. The food... omg the food. Delicious! I had the clam chowder, and the pasta with hot sausage and ricotta, both were absolutely phenomenal. My husband had the fish and chips special which he said was very fresh. You will not leave hungry as the portions are quite generous. The menu has a lot of options; something for everyone. We are already looking forward to going back! read more

Best spot in town! If you can't find something on the menu, you're not hungry. Skip the chains and support your local places, remember they where there for u during COVID!!! Cheese burger club was spot on. See you at the bar! read more

My wife and I have visited the Tavern about once a month and have always been comfortable with that time frame I normally will order a sandwich and a couple of beers for myself but my wife normally selects one of the specials which are posted nightly. We have found the food good and the staff knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Some remodeling was in progress so we haven't been there in a few weeks but it must be done by now so I guess we are due to have a visit down there pretty soon. Try it and you will.be happy with a visit read more

I had probably driven by this building a million times when I lived in Southampton. I don't think it registered with me too much. Looked like a bar more then a restaurant. Well, It's actually a very nice restaurant with a bar. Nice atmosphere. Not loud. Very good food. Awesome Tapioca!!!!! Burger was very good! The spaghetti and meatballs were were good(good but not earth-shaking great). Nice salad came with it(nice size too). Fair price. Recommend. read more

Service was really great! Food was okay. They were great about accommodating a large party. I do want to leave a warning for anyone with allergies! My sister ate a French fry cooked in the same oil as fish and had an anaphylactic reaction. I hope this restaurant is working to refine their kitchen contamination policies! read more

Beautiful historic building. Great food and service. I love that they stay open until midnight every day! A real staple for the community

Worst ever... Don't waist your money. Period. Sent to the kitchen multiple steaks at wedding reception just for well done.... Apparently the cook doesn't know what well done is... It's not about color but still well done should not look like this... read more

Tavern Restaurant Westfield - Raw steak after sending it back to the kitchen... Could not get the temperature right? .. How hard is well done??? - American Near Me - Westfield, Massachusetts

Always a nice place to visit! Excellent service. I recommend the artichoke appetizer if you like artichokes.

Ate at bar due to dinner time and all tables were full. No big deal for us. Bartenders very attentive & friendly. Stuffed mushrooms for appetizers (very good) had Surf & Turf (Sirloin steak) Paid extra for broiled scallops $18 Worth it !!! Ordered steak medium & came out well done. Still great flavor & tender. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. Highly recommend read more

This is a great New England spot! I love this type of restaurant. The building was a former use building, I believe a post office, so you are dining or drinking (they have a great bar, I'll be back after covid!) in an atypical space. The food here is great from prime rib to pasta or even pub fare! (Gotta love alliteration). The location is easy, on the town green and parking is there or off route 20! The service is always great and friendly. There are very few places where all my kids agree to go to eat, but this is one of them! Their gravies and sauces are great! Their chopped sirloin is wonderful and not something I would choose normally- but the mushroom sauce! I love their marinara and marsala too! The best item was (Thursday?) prime rib! All is good here. As things start to open up- a stop here is worth it! Take away is great too! read more

This is a wonderful space to have a nice date night. I was just passing through the town. I am sure I will go out of my way to travel back through to go back to this restaurant. read more

Never fails to please. This place, housed in a historic 1910 former post office, has it all. Great staff, well prepared meals and ambiance. Tonight, we had dinner with family, and it was flawless. Our waitress "Grace" is a dream come true for a restaurant owner. Her personality and attentiveness are unsurpassed. The owner is fortunate to have her. Sitting there, in this beautiful setting, enjoying our meals that included a veal francaise, prime rib, and a simple blue burger was a truly special evening. All the meals were delicious and perfectly seasoned, and the service was second to none. While we didn't partake in the bar, my wife ordered an espresso martini with a special request, and the bartender actually came to our dining room seating for clarification....unheard of. This place has it going on, and I recommend highly. read more

Giving one star because I can't give zero. Horrible customer service. We will never set foot in this establishment again. Rude server who loudly scolded us to move after the hostess told us to sit wherever we wanted: Sorry, but we're not paying for public humilation. Our money will go elsewhere. read more

Excellent service! Staff is amazingly attentive and treats you like a friend. Good food and reasonable prices!

Good local bar/ restaurant. Good service and food. Dry rub wings were really good. Crisp, slightly spicy on outside, juicy on inside. Got Chefs Salad w/ peppercorn ranch. Salad was fresh and meats and cheese were good. Nice lunch, will have to come back for deeper dive into menu. read more

Please keep your menu prices on your web site up to date with actual prices. (Or will that scare folks away) ?. If you can pay for and go through the hassles of printing a new laminated restaurant menu (with current prices), surely you can update the menu PDF on your website. That seems easy compared to printing menus. There is no need for gross discrepancies. read more

Disappointing dinner this past weekend. People seem to love this place (it was crowded), so maybe it was just an off night for them. Unfortunately after our experience we won't be returning. Pros - French onion soup was good, buffalo chicken dip was tasty (but nothing you can't make in the slow cooker at home). Cons - Dinner rolls were stale. Chicken parm was rubbery. My caesar salad with steak was under-seasoned and bland. There's just nothing exceptional about this place. It also has a strange atmosphere--lots of Italian decor and fake hanging plants. Up the road is the Westwood, which has similar offerings but everything is done better there. I can't recommend the Tavern. read more

Horrible food! This place has sadly gone WAY down hill the past few years. And expensive to boot

In Westfield, there are like 3 good restaurants, The Tavern is one of them. I know when I come here with my family I'll get top notch food and drinks at affordable pricing. I've had many fantastic dinners here and you always get a good bang for your buck. Typically with each entrée you order, you get a soup or salad and bread rolls with butter on the side. This makes it worth your money. I usually get a caeser salad with anchovies. This is one of the only places I know that offer anchovies and it really adds delicious touches of saltiness and flavor. Every time I come here it's a different experience. Some of my go-to appetizers are: artichoke franchise, bone-in buffalo wings, and baked mushrooms. All are very good and consistently on point. The menu has great variety, but I try to order the specials when I come here. The cheese ravioli and pistachio crusted salmon are the two best dishes I have ever had here, both were specials. Sometimes they repeat their specials, you can check on Facebook or just call. I hope they have the cheese ravioli again! I highly recommend the Tavern, you won't be disappointed if you come here. read more

We went for dinner and it was so good we went back for lunch the next day. The scallops were cooked to perfection and they had augratin potatoes as a special side and they were excellent. The lunch special was prime rib and it was also excellent. I thought it was very reasonable. Their rolls are delicious. The wait staff is very nice. They have a bar next door - we didn't stop in but could hear live music when we had dinner. Very cool building. Big parking lot behind made parking very easy. read more

7/12/23 Ordered Veal Parm for take out dinner. Have had it before and had been very good. This time is the last time I will ever go there. Ordered Veal Parm to go. 1 slice of very, very thin veal with 4 layers of breading with sauce. Totally disgusting! Very disappointing! read more

You have to try this place. There is a large bar area with tv's if you're looking for casual or a dining room if you're looking for more intimate. Either way you can't miss. Tonight I had the chicken Francais. It was delicious. 2 nice sized pieces of chicken in light lemon sauce. It comes with soup or salad and a side. It's too much for one meal and it's delicious. My husband had the veal Marsala. Equally delicious and plentiful. You can't beat this place for the price and quantity. It's like getting 2 meals for the price of one. You can also play Keno and watch your favorite game on TV. It's one of our favorite places in Westfield. read more

We were in town for a sporting event and looking for a decent sit down restaurant. Definitely hit the jackpot with this place. My daughter is a picky eater and she thoroughly enjoyed the herb marinated chicken. I ordered the marsala and my husband the prime rib and the food was delicious and plentiful. Let's say we certainly did not need potato skins as an app but we weren't sorry because they were tasty. They do NOT skimp on the bacon! Dinner included salad and rolls. Everything was fantastic and the wait staff was great. The ambiance of the building just added to the experience. Would eat here again if in the area. read more

Could be better but not bad for what it is. Service - attentive and helpful. No complaints about the server. However, the entrance to the restaurant isn't more than a narrow hallway. When you emerge from the hallway you are in the restaurant without a clear sense of what to do next. The host didn't make us feel welcome. Not rude, just not welcoming. Food - comfort food with amazingly bland flavoring. Cant complain - other than to express disappointment. We had bland chicken Alfredo with broccoli. And slightly over cooked Veal Parm. I do recommend the roman garlic bread. Yesssss. It is as advertised and large! Picture included with this review. Environment - not a very large dining room. Nice setting if you don't mind background music. It was perfect for us. I can see how a busy dinner could make you have to wait for a while. read more
