    This my first time going to Tavern In The Square. It's was my Birthday and I thought this be a fun place to go to. My party arrived at our reservation time and only had to about 10 minutes while staff got our table ready. The place was extremely busy for a Monday but I was told on weekends if you don't have a reservation wait times can be over an hour. Ever since this location opened in May it's been booming. I definately enjoyed my time there and will return soon. My Mesquite chicken bowl was excellent and the Expresso Layer cake I had for desert was outstanding.(Free for my Birthday).
