- KKateGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe Veal Holstein was probably the best of any meal I have had, at any of the restaurants I have been. I would eat that everyday, maybe twice a day. My friend loved her chopped salad with prime flat iron steak. The drinks came fast and perfect. Stella was so nice and she told us she would have the chef know we were going across the street to the show. There was not one thing to complain about in that whole restaurant experience ! But better ..everything was wonderful. Great job!More infoThe Crown Tavern$$$$• Comfort Food• Manchester•4.7
