    Good comfort food. Depending on the dish ordered, portions were small or large. Is the seafood dish was small portion vs the short ribs which were plentiful. I got the beet salad. It was excellent. I also had the tuna poke bowl. It was good too

    Food was good, but service was really off. Took about 12min before server even recognized us sitting in her section and only went down hill from there. And took forever to get our food. It was apparent food was sitting out for a while before we received it at our table. Very disappointing night!

    We greatly enjoyed our meals at Bradford Tavern. It was our first time there, and we were pleasantly surprised in the quality and the generous portions of our meals. We chose to eat upstairs in the Library, and we were so happy we did! The cozy, intimate atmosphere with beautiful leather seating and fireplace was a great place to celebrate our anniversary. They also have a dining room and tavern on the main level that are extremely popular. The place was bustling on a Saturday night. We definitely plan to return.

    It is a great location for a casual gathering with family and friends. Food as your mother might serve at Sunday dinner. Service was very attentive to all our needs.

    Library dining I warm and quite intimate McKenzie our server took care of all diners here. Her timing on gliding from table to table is stupendous. The food expeditor took all the pressure off her. Bread bowl clam chowder a creamy filled with clams. Served hot. A garden salad was more than sufficient to serve two of us. Seafood casserole and Southwest Chicken entrees perfectly prepared. A team of personnel from greeting to leaving is well done.
