“ We had a wonderful dinner last night, the tuna was delicious. Lindsay at the back bar is so popular every seat is always taken but if your lucky enough to get a seat you will learn why. ”
“ Perfect date night and incredible happy hour specials! Hayden was our server and was wonderful. Super kind and prompt. Easy conversation and had great suggestions. Food was fabulous and it was refreshing to see the manager walking around and helping out. We will be back! ”
“ Cozy restaurant in a historic building near the water. Staff was friendly and food was good for the busy Mother's Day holiday. Alcoholic drinks were fantastic. ”
“ I think this is a hidden gem in a beautiful historic building. The food was amazing, and the service was great. It was early, and the restaurant was slow and uncrowed. The atmosphere of the establishment was pleasant. Although you could see the nuclear power plant. Nothing is perfect, but this place is tops. ”
“ Had a great date night with hubby! We have been at this place once when it was Augustine Inn and never wanted to come back. Food now is awesome and service was great. I ordered the porkchop and it was huge!!! And delicious ofcourse! ... ”
“ Delicious local restaurant with pizazz and comfort. I went for the first time to Augustine's Tavern but it definitely won't be the last time. I enjoyed my delicious sweet fruity white glass of Sangria and my house salad. I liked that they added cheese to my salad and correctly omitted my raw onions. Yay! The prime rib egg rolls had a tangy sauce for dipping and I even got to taste my friend's French onion soup which was rich savory and cheesy. The service was excellent and the atmosphere like I said was exceptional, with none of the rowdiness of a bar's happy hour. Very Comfortable and cozy atmosphere which made me feel happy, relaxed, and gave me joy to experience. I can't wait too return and try one of your entrees in the near future. ”
“ I unfortunately did not get any pictures of our food, but everything was amazing. 3 of our party had the all-you-can-eat snow crab legs, which came out with 3 clusters to start out and fries with cheese dip. The orders after that came with 2 clusters, freshly steamed and hot each time. Another person in our party ordered the crab cakes and said they were delicious. My daughters ordered from the kids menu. One ordered a cheeseburger and fries and the other got Mac and cheese. We also got the short rib fries as an appetizer and I would make a special trip back just for those! They brought out complimentary hand-cooked BBQ chips which were very good, too. They have happy hour specials 7 days a week and food specials each night also. I cannot wait to go back for a Tomahawk Tuesday date night. The only reason I rated the atmosphere a 4 is because, even though the building has been nicely renovated, it seemed the window sills had not been cleaned in a while. The manager came by to check on us and was very kind and professional. ”
“ Fresh seafood is the BEST!! If you love raw oysters... they're fabulous! If you order the Tavern burger... I hope you can open your mouth wide enough to get a bite. It turned into two meals for me. There's also a deck there for seating. ”
