    My wife and I split the pear and frizzett salad and each of us had the mushroom ragu. Both dishes were excellent as usual. And as usual, we so enjoyed being with the folks who work at La Tavola. Beth does such a great job coordinating everything.

    It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

    This evening we had the Portobello Tartare to start, and Beef Bourguignon as our entree. This was possibly the best beef I've ever had, and I am a complete food snob. It was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon. It melted in our mouths! The food was exceptional, the servers were attentive but not intrusive. The ambience was on the loud side, but understandable at a festive family-friendly event. I've eaten here many times, and I've never had a bad bite, but tonight was superlative!
