    Great food, good service, and nice ambience. Had dinner here last night with two friends. The host and server were both friendly. The restaurant was not packed, but had a decent amount of people there. My friend ordered the flat iron steak (pictured), I had the green chile beef stew (pictured), and my other friend had a salad and the tuna tartar (not pictured). I am not a huge fan of tuna tartar but my friend loved it. I tried the steak which was cooked well with the right amount of spices that it was very flavorful. The stew was also very flavorful with a generous portion. The food did take a little while to come out, but they brought us a salad appetizer on the house due to the wait. I plan on returning here.

    We enjoy The Tavern. we try to get here two or three times a year. The food is excellent I especially like the American Burger. The service is phenomenal. Great selection of wine, great for couples or families you can take your time enjoy your food with exceptional service and atmosphere.

    Horrible service. The waitress was extremely rude. I left before eating because the service was so poor. Would not recommend to anyone who would like an enjoyable experience.

    Loved this place! Great service, great food! I ended up having to stay until they were closing and they were so gracious about letting me wait for my ride without pressuring me or making me feel unwelcome.

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent service and very reasonable prices. The servers really care to make your experience enjoyable. We love that we can walk to the wine store and enjoy a bottle of wine without a fee. Love this place!

  • 4/5 Rick K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great burgers and salads and a unique wine selection where you can choose your bottle of wine from the attached wine store. Very noisy if you want to have a conversation though.

  • 5/5 Drew M. 4 years ago on Google

    Great wine selection, amazing service at tavern bar from Victoria (she is lovely) and food is fantastic

  • 3/5 Justin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server was great. However it was very loud from just a couple patrons who didn’t know what inside voice means or they were drunk. Not the restaurant’s fault, but took away from the experience. The food was good but nothing to rave about.

  • 3/5 Matt G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and service was okay but didn’t match the prices. Couldn’t bring us a check and using those credit card machines to pay is bizarre for a place with $30 cheeseburger and fries. We couldn’t split a check. Annoying experience.

  • 5/5 Allison L. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a fantastic place to share a bite and have a glass of wine. Every time I go there the bartender introduces me to my new favorite new wine. The food has always been fantastic.

    This is a local Mecca for wine aficionados whose deep wallets do not tremble at a sight of bottle prices. However, if you suddenly come into money, do visit the store to reveal what money really tastes like. Even an average Joe Millionaire Shmoe can enjoy middle priced bottles from a really well curated list of spirits. They even offer Mead! The menu features an equally intriguing list of gastronomic creations to accompany the libations. We ordered charcuterie platter and large fries. That complimented the wine we have chosen. The server was helpful and attentive. She even went to great length to obtain a description of the jam which was included in the charcuterie. The gem was made from strawberries, preserved lemons, dark and white chocolate ganache and something else pickled. The chef inventing such combination must be mad or genius or both. Because it tasted strangely beautiful. Like you crash a wedding buffet and try to stuff your mouth with food before being kicked out. All of a sudden you are chewing on strawberries, chocolate and pickles. To summarize our excellent experience: if you are a wine lover this place is worth a visit.

  • 2/5 Byron D. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here a few times, food and service the last few times great, but today, service and food wasn't as expected, with there current menue, long horn has better salmon, I would have said something if the waitress had asked how everything was. Didn't seem to care this evening.

  • 5/5 PNSNVY 5 years ago on Google
    Great food. Went to try the best blt in Phoenix and didn't disappoint!

  • 5/5 Corey S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great wines and great comfort food. Shared the crispy fries and they were crispy and delicious. Had the white cheddar grilled cheese with tomato bisque and it was excellent. Cheesy goodness and the bisque was perfect; slightly tangy yet creamy. Shared a bottle of Mendel Malbec from their wine store. Only $30 and excellent. The outside stop is small but very pleasant to sit outside despite they don’t seem to have heaters.

  • 4/5 John T. 4 years ago on Google
    Food and service are excellent, and for a small place it actually allows a typical bar conversation, and tables with enough separation to allow private chat. The patty melt is outstanding! For a place that markets it's connection to the wine store next door, the wine selection in the bar is only so-so. Maybe they want you to buy the "higher priced spread" in the wine store. On balance though, this is a "recommend". We've been there before and we'll be back.

    Had a late flight and needed dinner. Outstanding menu, and cold craft beer. Well done, Tavern...

    Love bingo and taco Tuesday! This place is fun and the food and drinks are on point. The service is awesome as well. Friendly staff and happy patrons.

  • 5/5 Kim L. 4 years ago on Google
    I love the wine here. Choose it at the wine shop next door and they will serve you at the restaurant. Great casual date night. Great food and service!

  • 5/5 Nicolas C. 4 years ago on Google
    Award winning food and in my opinion, award winning service. Travis at Sky Harbor was attentive yet allowed for an enjoyable experience. Talkative with the talkative patrons and did I mention award winning food. Check this place out next time you fly. Perfect representation of the new and improved Sky Harbor.

    Get the Stuffed Pork chops and plantain chips. Great food that makes you keep coming back. You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Dawn C. 3 years ago on Google
    The Tavern earned my immediate 💯! My guest and I were looking for quick and close-by Dine-In Option. Walking in after calling for a reservation around 2:45, we were seated and immediately greeted by "Our Server Sandra". The menu was limited but had a fair selection. This place is amazing!! And so was Sandra!! It is a bar with great music I would call a good mix of 70's Classic Rock, Motown, and Alternative Rock. It is also a Wine Store with what looked like a good selection. Bar seating, High tables, Low tables, and a Booth that seats probably a group of 6. The food is Fantastic!! From the Side Salad to the Burger I ordered cooked Exactly as I ordered. Juicy and Delicious!!! BUT I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT SANDRA! I Live 3 Hours Away And I WILL BE BACK!!

    Hands down, THE best burger I've ever had. Simple dish with an amazingly delicious spin of flavor and fresh ingredients. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. Highly recommend without reservation--but please make a reservation, they're amazing and you don't want to miss out on getting a seat at this hoppin' place!
