   As always preparations were excellent. Main course choices for vegetarians are limited. Good choices in the bread, soup and salad category. Enjoyed the seating near the courtyard but would have been even nicer if we could sit outside in the courtyard.

   Usually love Menlo Tavern but lunch today wasn’t great. They were doing construction right outside which was very loud. I tried to move the plate with my soup on it and the plate broke in half spilling tomatoe soup all over the table and my sweater. It was such a mess. The staff was fine and tried to clean it up but offered no apologies or to compensate me in any way.
   

   Menlo TavernResponded on 21 March 2025

   Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating the construction noise and the accident with your soup must have been, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your understanding of our staff's efforts, and we'll definitely use your comments to improve how we handle such situations in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the great experience you’ve come to expect from Menlo Tavern.

   Girls night & we sat next to the fireplace in the bar (toasty). The roasted beet & burrata appetizer was awesome & the Tuesday special Pot Pies were amazing. Our server/bartender Oscar was very attentive & made our night complete!

   This is a gem of a place to go….great food, good service, easy parking, lovely garden patio or calm well appointed dining room. Perfect for date night, colleague meeting, or small groups.
