    Such a nice lunch during small business Saturday shopping. Happy to support our local businesses. My salmon salad was outstanding as usual. My husband had the chicken salad sandwich which was a bit bland and the bread seemed a bit dry. Otherwise we enjoyed our lunch and Ian, our server was great!

    The haddock piccata was amazing! And it was so nice to have so many GF options. My daughter had the GF fish and chips and it was excellent too.

    The wild goose Tavern was absolutely phenomenal. The buffet that was served on Thanksgiving day was unbeatable. The appetizer station was outstanding with the selection for Thanksgiving. They provided all the Thanksgiving favorites that would’ve been served if we had the dinner at our house. My wife and I and my mom were totally impressed. Making this a new family tradition. Thank you so much to the  chef and staff for an outstanding performance.

    On this Saturday night the noise level was so high as to preclude normal conversation. The bar and dining room share one large space. This is not the place for anyone looking for a quiet dinner. The prices for entrees are high. We ordered three appetizers. The fig and Brie flatbread was a winner. The Goose fries and Brussel sprouts came out (barely) lukewarm. On the positive side service was excellent, very attentive. Good for those looking for a lively bar scene.
    Wild Goose TavernResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Eric, thank you so much for taking the time to review and give your feedback. In regards to the noise level that is helpful for us to know so that we can make adjustments for the future. As for your meal we are sorry not everything was as good as it could have been, we most certainly pass that along to our culinary team to improve for the future. But we are very happy that your service was great, we do have a wonderful team here that truly cares and works hard. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.

    We lunch three days in a row at your restaurant. We love your place. The food and vibe are amazing! Today, however, we felt your servers were less than enthusiastic. A noticeable difference in this team.
    Wild Goose TavernResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Salli, we're so glad you've joined us for lunch so often and enjoyed your experience so much, but we are sorry to hear that your last visit was not as enjoyable. Hopefully just an off day and future visits will be as good as the previous. Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to review!
