"Gabriel Archer Tavern is resting on very tired laurels. I booked dinner for 6 for the day before Mother 's Day. Our server was underage and could tell us nothing about the wines on the list. This is a winery and servers should be old enough to speak knowledgeably about wines. The charcuterie board was meager and served with three half-slices of cold toast. Dinner was delivered by someone from the bar. Rather than knowing which dinner went to which diner, he loudly announced who gets the crabcake, who gets the hangar steak... which was crude for $35 per plate dinners. The portions were skimpy and did not satisfy my guests. The hangar steak was raw and tough, served over a small scoop of mashed potatoes with a single spring of broccolini. The crab cakes showed little evidence of lump crab meat. Our server was not attentive and never asked if we wanted a second drink. We asked to order dessert and inquired as to the flavors of ice cream. Chocolate, vanilla, and sorbet, she said. What kind of sorbet we asked. It 's a non-dairy dessert. Which doesn 't answer the question does it. Desserts were delivered in the same manner. Who gets the chocolate ice cream, who gets the cheesecake? And then, my husband 's coffee was delivered ice cold. Not lukewarm. Ice cold. I planned this outing weeks in advance and the experience was disappointing and embarrassing. And the bill for this? Over $400. I do not recommend wasting your money at Gabriel Archer Tavern. You 'd be better off at a chain restaurant."

Fairly average experience. The food and service do not justify the high prices.

Always an enjoyable experience dining here. Recently had the Octopus app and it was absolutely fantastic.

Just like a tavern experience, but with better food. Some dishes are seasonal, like the ginger carrot soup. View menu

The combination of the white wine flight and atmosphere brought memories of European tours I've experienced. The quiche was delicious as well.

The wine was tasty! The service was EXTREMELY slow. The Turkey Brie sandwich was a great choice! The restaurant could use a refresh rather dingy and tired looking.

I had the steak, and my wife had the fish. Absolutely delicious, the waiter was very helpful and attentive. A great spot off the beaten path, well worth the price! View menu

Best meal of my entire life. My husband had the crab cakes and I had the steak, and they were both delicious. The BBQ meatballs, ganache, and vanilla ice cream were also wonderful! Highly recommend.

Atmosphere was no more like a tavern than a bar b que restaurant. Very limited menu. Service was horrid. Ate there two nights. Had to send our main course back three time, it was cold. Will not be going back. Do not know what the draw is and how some of these other reviews can possibly be accurate. 2/24/2024
