ML Tavern
In all the years that we’ve been in the area and all the time we’ve spent searching for new and exciting places to eat, I can’t believe that we had never heard of this place. THIS was a true find! It’s sort of off the beaten path (at least to us), but a very warm, cozy environment (sort of a “hunt club” theme). Don’t let the word “Tavern” mislead you though. This is not “Tavern” in the sports pub sense….this is fine dining, white tablecloth sort of Tavern, and the $$ spoke to that for sure. The good news is that it delivered big time, so you don’t mind paying a little more. The menu isn’t huge and is broken down into “Tavern” and “Entrees”. Just a heads-up – everything is a la carte, so if you decide to order the Chilean Sea Bass (which Mr. Z did), then that’s exactly what you get – a beautiful piece of ($37) sea bass with no accompaniments. I had a taste and it was delicious! He did order a side of the sea salt fries and if you’re thinking…..plain old fries, think again! They were really yummy!
The soup of the day was a Butternut Squash and I really wanted to try it, but knew that it wouldn’t leave me much room for a full entrée, so I ordered the soup and the flat iron steak spinach salad. BOTH were unbelievable. I know it’s hard to imagine that a salad could be amazing, but I promise that this was and it was truly a full meal. A nice size, perfectly prepared flat iron steak atop a really, REALLY good salad, tossed lightly in a housemade bleu cheese dressing.
Our server, Adonis, was really pleasant and very attentive. If you don’t mind paying a few dollars more than usual; we would highly recommend ML Tavern.
