If you are looking for a staple restaurant to go on a date, take out your in-laws, break bread with a girlfriend, or meet up for business-Town Tavern is the place to do it. It is quiet, yet energetic-and the food is consistent.
The menu offers only a few items-all slightly strange, like pork enchiladas, meatloaf and mashed potatos-but then is carried with 3 different steak choices and a la carte sides. They also have 3-5 fresh catch entrees from the sea that change daily. The chef does an amazing job of serving a creative variety of fishes along with great pairings of chutneys, marmalades, sauces, and light starches.
Last visit, we had the filet, always cooked properly and a variety of toppings and/or sauces to accompany. It comes with fresh asparagus, which is always cooked just right. I decided to try the pork enchiladas, which I actually would not recommend. They were cooked properly, and weren't horrible by any means, but it was bland, and it was not accompanied by anything. The service is always fantastic, and lets not forget the amazing garlic bread that comes before your meal!
Town Tavern offers several appetizers, a few salads, and again-the strange, yet small menu of several other choices like braised ribs and chicken, along with the a la carte steaks. Its a menu fit for the picky, and for a table of folks who some want steak, some want meatloaf, and the other wants fish.
The wine selection is fair, the bar area is more energetic than the restaurant, and is a great place to start a crawl of Royal Oak on a weekend evening.
