"We visit Tavern 109 a couple times each year for dinner because the service and food are always top notch. Tonight not so much. We ordered a couple of cocktails and they were fine. We also placed an order for an appetizer. The restaurant was very busy so our drinks and appetizer were slow and that’s ok, we get it). However, we asked for waters and didn’t receive them. We placed our food order when the appetizers came out because everything was so slow. Of course, our food came out instantly, lol. However, at this point, we never received our waters, my wife didn’t get her salad, and I never got my soup. My wife ordered the fish and chips and they were great. I ordered the bacon wrapped meatloaf, which I had ordered before on previous visits. Tonight, bacon was undercooked and underneath the meatloaf and the mashed potatoes almost seemed like instant potatoes they were so runny. The vegetable with the order was the chefs medley, which tonight was green beans with grilled mushrooms. I got about 10 green beans with no mushrooms at all. We never received our salad or soup. Never had our water refilled. At the end of our meal, when our server was grabbing the bill, I informed her of the salad and soup and even she noted that my potatoes looked bad. She came back and gave us the ol “ I talked to the manager and they are willing to give you a dessert”. So, they gave my wife a piece of the peanut butter pie to go. When she got home, we noted that the pie was a square piece about the size of a small brownie, see pic. Overall, a bad dining experience. I never understand why managers if they were actually told) think that giving me a free pie reverses all of the mistakes during a dinner out. I pay for the dining experience. It’s supposed to be special. I can buy my own pie the manager never even came and saw us. Not impressed."
