The food was exquisite. The flavors were unexpected and really interesting. The non-alcoholic drinks were especially thoughtful and delicious. Service was perfect. I was visiting for a conference and as a single diner, I would have preferred not to be sat in the center forward table at the entrance to the main dining room, but that is my one complaint. Go hungry; I was feeling full and content by the third course.

Incredible food, incredible service, incredible cocktails. Everything was unexpected but yet still authentic to the flavors. Modernized but still a home-cooked feeling somehow. The staff was so accommodating and caring about what they do. We can’t wait to go back!

Really good food - I had a dish of pork chunks that had been simmered in a house blend of spices al cubano. It was so very tender. Service was very attentive except at desert time when there were many more diners. The desert, sopapillas, was chewy and sweet, a perfect ending.

Babysitting for my son and DIL. Sent them to our favorite restaurant. Scored the last reservation accepted for a Saturday evening. They enjoyed old fashions crafted by Luis. The pork chop special and chicken marsala. They were very impressed by their entrées, the service and the hospitality of the owner, Sylvia. We are lucky to have such a fine restaurant in Leonardtown.

Came here for a first date and really loved the decor and ambiance of this place. Our server and all staff were very friendly and attentive! I had the deconstructed pot pie and my date had the gumbo. Both dishes were very tasty. I especially loved the smoky flavor of the pot pie and his was not too spicy for gumbo but full of flavor. I’d love to come when it’s warmer to sit outside, and try the new dishes the talented chef has created. :)

We hadn't been to Liberty Tavern for brunch since 2020 and were delighted with how it has adapted to post-pandemic life. Instead of a buffet, our server brought unlimited small plates, from delicious salads, to eggs, avocado toast, tender sirloin, biscuits, and an assortment of desserts. We will definitely return.

We went with a group of 8. Everyone loved the food—it was fantastic! And the service was great. But we didn’t expect so many hookah smokers. If you have breathing problems, you probably won’t want to eat here. Most of us were not bothered by it, but it was definitely a factor for a few people at our table. The smoke was not heavy, and it’s not unpleasant like cigarettes, mostly a fruity smell. Parking was easy. The food portions were huge, and again, very delicious!!!
