Tavern In The Square - Burlington

Hi . We were there for our Xmas dinner on Dec 28th and the first time at this location. All things considered, I think they have a great menu and a fairly good location. What I mean is where it is, in general, is great, but being a part of an office building and being tucked in a maze of a parking lot and in front of Burlington Mall doesn't make the access easy and frustrating. So that in itself can be a turn-off. Even though it was the holiday season, the crowd in general wasn't too bad. It started off alright. The apps came out at a decent amount of time and tasted great and were hot . When it came to the meals, it was a mixed feeling. Even though all came out at the same time, the temp of the meals greatly differed. Which made it difficult to eat, but it wasn't worth the wait to send back. During the time from the apps to waiting for the mains, the service felt like it changed because we were waiting a long time between drinks where you order two drinks knowing it will be a long time before someone came back as well as the normal check-in's. We found ourselves doing everything quickly so we could get out of there. Please don't get me wrong, we did understand about the holiday even though it was 3 days later, but the crowd truly wasn't that bad that it made a big difference. So we didn't understand what was going on. We were hoping for a better experience, maybe at a different location since we really don't live close to this one. Don't know if we would or would not come back to this specific location. I'm sorry we didn't take pics because it was a bit dark, and we were not sitting under any lights. So, all in all, I think if everything was normal, the food could have been good without the service issues the experience could also been better.

Girlfriend got more mac n' cheese than she could eat. Tavern Burger was excellent.

Many lunch menu offerings for diners with dietary restrictions.

I got the bayou chicken pasta and it was absolutely delicious. The service was a little slow getting drinks but we also had a large party and squeezed into a table in the bar area. It was loud and hard to hear across the table.

Restaurant and bar in Burlington. The place has a sports bar vibe with Tvs in every direction showing the games. The place was rather full and rather loud on a Monday evening. Lots of booths and raised tables. Server was friendly and efficient. I recommend the blackened fish tacos and a glass of wine.
