    We stopped into Livestock Tavern for my birthday dinner and boy oh boy was it delicious. We really love the change of pace with this menu, and it's best for carnivores. There are a few vegetarian options, but it's all about the meat. We started with the frisee salad and confit duck nuggets. I ordered the grilled lamb entree and my husband got the duck breast. We also had their apple "pie" for dessert and they brought out ice cream with a candle. While it's seemingly a heavier menu, everything felt very light and fresh, which was so pleasantly surprising. Every veggie, sauce, and nibble was excellent. My husband did the whiskey tasting and enjoyed it as well. They have a few larger tables for bigger parties and lots of space for couples. Also they have a high top area in the bar. We made a reservation about a week out and were seated right away. This spot is a must, especially when you're craving something less typical on the island.

    Excellent service. Food was good but not quite great. Felt like things were missing something to make it perfect.

    Great place for not just steak. The steaks are excellent, but menu is diverse and includes seafood as well as desserts. Staff is friendly and portions are good. Great bourbon/whisky menu, but they did not have many drinks in stock that were in that list.

    I live downtown and I wonder to this day why I slept on this wonderful restaurant. We started with the house made corn bread, which is definitely a fancy version of what most of us know as corn bread. Their passion fruit mocktail and Freebird drinks were delicious. For our main course we ordered the country fried steak and the Tavern burger. We were so full we did not have the opportunity to get any of the desserts. That is something we have to look forward to. From their drinks to their foods it is safe to say that every bite and sip is an explosion of flavor. Your taste buds will be confused and amazed at the same time.

    10/10. First time back since the pandemic and we were not disappointed. The food was just as we remembered... Crazy delicious. I haven't had anything here I didn't like but definitely get the lamb. This time around we also got the beets & frisse, crab cakes and confit duck nuggets. Their menu is seasonal so there's always something new to try. The staff here are amazing. They keep this restaurant running like a well oiled machine, but be sure to make a reservation because they are often slammed. The bar area is first come, first served but there is normally a wait for that area as well. Did I mention they have a well curated alcohol selection? They do. Book your table online, it's too easy.

    Great resturant with very friendly staff. Drinks took a very long time to come. All of the food was really good except the lobster pasta was a little blend. Meat was amazing and mushroom risotto was very very good.

    This place is awesome sauce. We come often and are never disappointed. Just my wife and I came for my birthday and we had a normal booth and chair setup, the server was so thoughtful she asked if we wanted to turn the table to sit next to each other in the booth! We are LGBTQ so these moments are always GREATLY APPRECIATED. The food is always perfectly prepared and the drinks are so well crafted! Balanced all the time. We have also encountered the most surprising random acts of kindness dining here.. thank you for making our memories unforgettable.

    We dined with some friends when on vacation for dinner. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and decor is modern industrial. We had the octopus starter, steak and salmon. Everything was delicious and I only had one issue. I specifically asked the server if the salmon contained any cream or dairy and was told no but it definitely came out with a ton of it. Overall a nice experience but a bit of attention to detail would have been the cherry on top.

    Always amazing food, the service can be spotty. This night they screwed up the drink order a couple of times and it was a long wait. But the food was amazing. Lost a star for the service and one for the high prices

    Nice atmosphere and staff were prompt with service. Prime rib was was below my expectations. I say that compared to eating at a restaurant called O'Charlies back home. Lacked taste and the meat was chewy in texture. Recommend choosing another dish.

    Food was good and tasty. I ordered the Beef Tenderloin wrapped in bacon. My cocktail was called Autumn Sangria. Didn't care for it. It had Peanut Butter Liquor and it was not to my liking. It was overpowering. I asked to get a regular Sangria and they accommodated.

    Saturday night dinner with friends, reservations are recommended as they are always fairly busy. Nicely varied menu with a lot of different options. Their beverage selection is good with local, mainland and international choices. House cocktails are good (according to my wife) and their bourbon and whiskey selection is fairly extensive. Our food was well prepared and tasty!

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: I'd come back for sure! The extended review... Food: Oxtail Mac and Cheese - 5/5 - Well hello there! I mean...if there's a dish you want to eat this is IT! In addition to being a very decent portion of food and tasty at that. It's a decent amount of oxtail put into the dish which is nice. Confit Duck nuggets - 3.5/5 - It's a decent tasting dish. I think what I would like more is to get more of the duck flavoring in the nuggets. Pumpkin and Brussels - 4/5 - A very hearty veggie dish to compliment the meat and carbs. Smoked Octopus - 3.5/5 - A good pairing of meat and seafood. Service: 4/5 - Friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: 5/5 - It's definitely a very inviting atmosphere. Very modern and rustic feel to it right in the heart of Chinatown.

    I just had the best, most AMAZING prime rib and burger of my life. I'll start off by relaying the one and only con which is there are no seating for baby or toddlers such as highchairs or boosters. But don't let this detour you. We made it work and I'm incredibly happy we did. With all the pros, you're going to want to make this restaurant a priority on your "Must Try" list. Pros are they have the absolute, best prime rib on island. You won't find better. Talk about perfectly prepped and seasoned. Au jus and dipping sauce was magic to the taste buds. I grew up in the midwest where some of the highest quality beef is and this place knocked it out! In addition we ordered the burger and holy smokes, so good you close your eyes and savor all the flavor. Buttery bun with the right mix of fixings to make your taste buds sing "what a glorious day to be alive"! The service was on point and professional. The atmosphere was wonderful. I highly recommend you try this place. If you are a foodie, this absolutely can not go untried! No need to look any further, let your tastebuds enjoy pure bliss. We will be back soon!

    EVERYTHING is delicious and the service is on par. So much flavor! This is a must go to place.

  • 4/5 Frank C. 2 years ago on Google
    Appetizer of Crab Cakes 3 pieces, full of crab lite fillings. Very good. Entree, Prime Rib (Rare) done perfectly, comes with a medley of cooked vegetables good match. Grilled Corn Bread with Jalapeno butter on the side perfect with dinner. Dessert, Apple Tart, not a fan, (reason for 4 stars). Our waitress was great, sorry didn't get her name. Very personable, attentive and quick service. Over all, good experience and will return. BON APPETITE

    Late night find and it fid not disappoint! Had the hen, and brie which were both fabulous, and the filet and prime rib were on point! Highly recommended.

    Good service, good food. We dined in on a Tuesday night and there was plenty of space for our large group. Prices are on the high end but it's high quality food so I felt like I got my money's worth.

  • 5/5 Mate �. 2 years ago on Google
    Always fantastic. Looove brining guests here when they visit. The service is always friendly and helpful, and their recommendations are spot-on. The drinks are all great, but my favourite (if you like gin) is the Hot Girl Summer—the butterfly pea flower syrup turns the drink purple, which is just FUN! I don’t think I have ever heard anyone NOT rave about what they’ve ordered, but by way of personal recommendation, I highly suggest the crab crusted salmon, the rack of lamb, or the scallop and mushroom risotto. But, again, if there is something in the menu that looks good to you, chances are, you are going to love it!
