I wish so badly I could give this restaurant a good review. I have stayed at the Essex Resort many times and this was the first time we went with family and thought what a wonderful time to try the Resort raved Restaurant (on-site). We went for dinner, and were told that they were quite busy in advance when we... More

We were disappointed the last two times we visited the restaurant. The noise is very loud in the restaurant since they moved it within the Inn. The food is disappointing too; they have taken a few things off the menu and other people commented on this as well. The service is very good and the servers also commented on the... More

The dining room is attractive with dimmed lighting and a long curvy bar. We were seated right away on a Tuesday evening around 6pm. The buffalo wings are good but very hot.

The food at the Tavern was excellent! As a part of The Essex Culinary Spa and Resort, the chef's are top-notch and the quality of the ingredients was great.

Wonderfully done burgers. The drink menu was somewhat disappointing in the cocktail department (and overly sweet), but the beer and wine list were superb and well priced. Our waiter was great, very knowledgeable and nice to us. More

The place itself however lacked atmosphere and ths staff looked uncomfortable. Our first night was marred by a bill that containers errors and unexpected charges including $3 for a... More

Wonderful dinner at the special chefs table. Complete 7 course meal cooked in front of us by the chef Jean Luc. The soup with duck garnish was excellent. I usually don't eat beets but his roasted beet salad with goat cheese and garnish was terrific. Had fish and meat courses then finished up with cheese and dessert. We had wine... More

We had a great time meeting other guests of the Inn as well as the locals who frequent the tavern for food and drink. The bartenders were very attentive and ready to serve. More
