Firecracker shrimp are amazing! The French onion soup is so tasty with tons of melted cheese on top . My daughter got the boneless wings, she loved them and I got the Pork Italiano which was fantastic, the roll was so fresh and toasted to perfection and the meat was seasoned perfectly. Environment is a bar/restaurant setting. Our waitress was a sweetheart. Overall great experience.

First time visit to this lovely restaurant. My grandson and I enjoyed lunch.... the large chicken parmesan platter was amazing, as was my cheesesteak. We also took home an order of wings which were so good!. The staff, especially our waitress, was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend The Tavern!

I hadn’t been here in over five years, but with the new owners taking over, I knew it was time to give it another shot—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Despite it being a busy Friday night, we were seated quickly and treated with genuine hospitality. The bartender who greeted us, the gentleman who seated us, and especially our waitress—all were friendly, attentive, and clearly cared about the experience. The food was absolutely delicious. A complete turnaround from what I remember years ago. I was not only pleasantly surprised but truly impressed. It’s clear the new ownership has brought a serious commitment to quality. Mark my words—this place is on its way to becoming a local staple once again. Kudos to the new owners and their fantastic staff!

Wow!! Tonight we tried the Seaville Tavern for the 1st time since the new owners took over. I had the very best crab cake sandwich that I’ve ever had and my wife had the broiled sea scallops. Both meals were outstanding and the service was impeccable! Highly recommend!
