tavern

went to tavern for saturday brunch. it was packed, but that’s pretty usual for them, so i was still expecting decent food/service. that’s not what i got - service was very slow. it took more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and we had to ask multiple times for our bardrinks(although the bloody mary’s were delicious... once we got them). i ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict (they call it the dos) and the salmon was definitely just cold salmon from a can. yuck. also the english muffin was burned and the eggs were waaaay undercooked. not edible. not to mention the whole thing was so cold it could’ve come straight from the fridge. i could’ve done a much better job myself at home, with better salmon, and not paid like $13. i will not be returning to tavern, which is sad because it used to be a great brunch spot. not sure what happened.

i was happily surprised by how great the tavern is: food, service, atmosphere--all splendid. the fries are, guiltily, delicious and come in an oversized portion. (great for sharing) that said, most portion sizes are extraordinarily generous and our waitress never let ourdrinksget below half full before refilling. 10/10 would recommend, although keep in mind when it's late they do id!

most expensive mayo ever.drinksare good, appetizers ok. i decided on the lobster sliders and i got mayo on a sister scheburts roll with ruffled. looked awful and sent back. gave up on food and had another beer.

worth it! the grilled tuna steak sandwich was juicy and the sunchoke soup was so rich. the fries were highlighted on the menu so i tried them. they were great, plus i suggest mixing the bbq sauce with the triple x hot sauce for dipping.drinksoverpriced but food great

i decided to try brunch at tavern, the m street outpost that replaced the ill-fated miami inspired joint lime. i was hesitant to venture back in this building, as lime was one of the first places i went when i moved to nashville and it left a bad taste in my mouth. i went to have some post-class cocktails with friends and what i got was a middle aged meat-market. i wasn't looking for a sugar daddy and the calamari was dry, so lime was off my list. i was actually happy when it closed. but tavern surprised me, having a dark bar-like charm and none of the creepier lime clientele. i had been here fordrinksbefore, back when steve was still djing their friday dance nights and i enjoyed myself. i've been eyeing the brunch menu for months, and with my parents in town for a visit this seemed like the perfect time to try it. this menu makes me wish i was a cow with four stomachs. everything sounds delicious to me and i wished that i had more than one place to put it. red velvet waffle?

thedrinkskeep getting smaller and smaller. it's a shame. this used to he my favorite place in midtown...not anymore. too expensive for what you get these days.

great drinks!. thedrinksare wonderful, try the 1920 or the cucumber, elderflower and apple. i believe this is what they are called!
