    The food was so so good. I love a good lively bar but it was so loud for dinner time.

    We ate lunch on a Sunday which may not have shown the Tavern at its best. The restaurant was empty and appeared dingy. Our 3 different brunch entree's were greasy and mostly tasteless. I was supposed to have 3 scrambled eggs. I got a 4" egg-colored flat square patty. The bacon was good. The only high point.

    The atmosphere was pretty quiet because it was a Monday. The food was very very good but the service was a little hard pressed with our waitress. She seemed like she didn’t want to be there.

    It was not a positive experience for Restaurant Week in milwaukee. The server seem to have no idea that actually was restaurant week and we did not get menus for about 15 minutes. The food was okay but it all came at one time. Which is not the way it should in a three course meal. It's three courses for a reason

    Stopped after the Marquette game when they kicked UConn (WE ARE!!!). Nobody in the bar, usually not a good sign. Waitress was nice, good service. Asked about after game specials, said they are none...note to TST mgmt, start offering.

    A good time was had. Visited before a basketball game at Fiserv Forum. Service was pretty good, but ordered a turkey burger with chips and got a double hamburger with fries. They brought out the chips which were just ok, but the fries were hot, which was nice. Didn't bother telling them about the burger mix up...didn't feel like waiting for it to be fixed and it wasn't that big a deal. Beverages were refilled at a good rate. Food was tasty. Would go back again.

    Great spot on 3rd st. The burger was super delicious and loved the mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were definitely made from scratch and not some frozen box stuff. The drinks were quick and tasty. Solid list of beers as well. Great atmposher with the retro arcade games. Pop a shot was my favorite.

    We didn't actually stay to eat. There was a Packers game on and it was incredibly loud. I couldn't get the attention of any waitstaff. After about 10 minutes we gave up and went somewhere else to eat.

    After making a 2:45 table reservation a couple of days in advance, when we arrived, a sign at the front desk said "please seat yourself". Ok cool, lots of open tables, no worries! After spending 20 minutes sitting at our table and my kids playing a couple of arcade games, not one server approached asking if we would like any drinks or appetizers. Upon walking out, we were told to have a nice day. We ended up walking across the street to Oak Barrel.
