Reviews
Only gets a four star because the main waitress there could not be more miserable and rude. She clearly hates her job to the point of making the process feel uncomfortable. There are plenty of happy people that can be hired than a woman that needs to work anywhere that doesn't involve customer service. We still go frequently but our smiles drop everytime we see her.
We arrived at 4 PM- maybe 1st customer for dinner(they open at 3:30). Despite being the only customers in the restaurant our drinks took quite some time to arrive. They were delicious & well -crafted when we got them however. Service was lackluster & slow, but not rude. Appetizer was the broiled oysters, delicious and fresh. We ordered the tomahawk steak (165.00) and the beef tenderloin. Hands down the tenderloin was far better than the tomahawk! The tomahawk was oddly lacking in flavor & chewy (ordered med-rare). There was a lot of fat as well. The tenderloin, on the other hand was exquisite- perfect crust with lovely sauce and melt-in-your-mouth texture. All of the sides were very good & paired well with the main. I would go back, but never order the tomahawk steak- much better offerings on the menu at reasonable prices. A more experienced/seasoned staff would improve the dining experience as well. Overall I recommend this restaurant! The vibe in Springfield is less hectic than Eugene so it's nice change of pace.
Okay, so my wife and I have gone to the Tavern a few times in the past couple of years. They normally ALWAYS come through with the flavors. Oysters were spot on. The smash burger was hu-maze-ing! If you order steak, just try to REALLY emphasize to your server that you don't want the steak to still have a pulse when they bring it out. Other than a REALLY rare steak, which they offered to fix right away, it was a banger of a meal. As the kids would say, "on God, this place is bussin'... no cap". Thanks for the impeccable service, team!
Lunch for 2 Red IPA (2). Caesar salad. Beef carpaccio. Mushroom truffle flatbread with chorizo. And a slice of cheesecake with a berry drizzle. Gawd... The photo doesn't do it justice.
The food, service, and ambiance all great! Valentine's Day dinner was a treat! This was our first visit and we enjoyed it very much! Jenny, our server was very good at helping us make food choices, knew her wines, and made a great recommendation. She also took our orders correctly. Well done!
