    The food was outstanding. My guest enjoyed the steak and my salmon was perfectly prepared, seasoned and presented. The service was exceptional. We felt "at home" while also feeling like special guests. This is a challenge to achieve and conjurs up images of family. Thank you for another remarkable evening at the Tabard Inn.

I had the fried chicken rice bowl, which was delicious and flavorful. The chocolate bread pudding is a must and my son enjoyed the steak and Fritz
