    First time visiting Mulberry Street Tavern and we will definitely go back. Wonderful and well- timed service. Our server Andre was one of the best and able to thoughtfully answer any questions about the food. Overall a really awesome experience, setting, and food.

    So delicious, plus felt like a family experience with all of the staff! We were visiting for my birthday, and upon entry I was greeted and wished happy birthday by two employees, and our waitress, and even while leaving after such a great meal and drinks (and birthday tiramisu), they remembered me out of all of the guests on that busy night and said to enjoy my birthday once again on our way out! Was very thoughtful, we will be returning for sure!

    My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary while dining in. The hotel is beautifully restored revealing its historic charm and that is carried out throughout the restaurant area. Our waitress was fabulous and she really did a great job in making us feel special on our date with added touches to the dessert plate and even providing an unexpected discount. It was much more than we would ever spend on a night out together, but due to the occasion, it was well worth it!
