“ I dont usually write the reviews while O am on a date but THIS RESTAURANT DESERVES IT!!! The food was on another level! We started with the Bang Bang Broccoli which was recommended to us by the hotel front desk. It is difficult to describe just how incredibly delicious this dish was! Tempura friend broccoli in a sweet and spicy chili sauce they make here. The first bite had both me and my husband say WOW! It is an explosion of flavor!!!! We also got fried pickles as an appetizer and they were exactly what you would want from a fried pickle with the perfect amount of breading. It was also served with secret sauce which was yummy and not spicy at all. For dinner my husband got a burger which he said was cooked just to his liking and delicious. He also loved the tots he got as his side. I got the chicken barra sandwich which was phenomenal! The fig jam added just the tight amount of sweet. I also upgraded my fries to the garlic herb parm fries. They are the best ones i have ever had!!! Not greasy yet had the flavors you would hope for. Also came with a white colored dipping sauce that was garlic parm too!! Now that we have covered our food lets talk about the service. KEVIN OS AMAZING!!! He was so attentive and offered recommendations. He is friendly and kind and what you would want in a perfect server! The restaurant itself is super comfortable. Being a heavier woman i am sometimes squished in yhe booths. Tonights has plenty of room and lots of cushioning. As for ambiance it has a tavern feel which is a great thing since its a tavern. IF I COULD GIVE MORE THAN 5 STARS I WOULD!!! Highly highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAVERN ON YHE SQUARE!!! ”
“ The staff here is nice & knowledgeable of their menu. I am gluten intolerant & the waiter made sure to make note of it. She was able to answer other questions we had about the menu. Everything was hot & fresh, I got the gluten free nachos & they were delicious. Drinks were also delicious & made well. They had all the sports games playing on the multiple big screen TVs & everyone around seemed to be having a good time. ”

“ My boyfriend and I came here to eat before going to a concert because it was close by. We have now found our new place to eat when we come to Boston!! Everything from the food to the service was absolutely amazing!!! I am so picky with food and I ATE EVERYTHING and I mean I scraped my plate clean. My boyfriend also finished his whole plate, only thing left was the lemon lol. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Also reasonably priced for large portions. ”
“ They have gluten-free deep-fried pickle chips and gluten-free fish n chips! What a delight! They made sure my allergies were adressed and everything was delicious! ”
“ I ordered the General Tso's chicken, and also the Talk Tiki To Me cocktail. Both were absolutely perfect! If I had been here as a personal trip, I would have stuck around and order a few more of those drinks, and maybe some to-go food. Best General Tso's I've ever had, and one of the tastiest drinks I've ever had as well. Highly recommended! My server was also nice, prompt, and professional, and was not at all overly doing it at all. I could tell from other tables they were server that he was incredibly attentive, but careful not to bother someone while they were actively eating or drinking. Top-notch experience all around. ”

“ Tavern in the Square was fantastic! This was the perfect spot for a quick lunch in Boston, while waiting for the train to Salem. Service was delightful & the atmosphere was upbeat and positive. I enjoyed the Summer Rose Sangria, which was both refreshing and sweet. Next on the table was the Creamy Burrata, plated with delicious cherry tomatoes, arugula, & homemade bread. Overall a great spot — do not miss! ”
