Manor Tavern Restaurant

I have to say I'm not quite sure what the review above me is speaking of. My husband and I have been going to the Tavern since our kids were in grade school and we've never encountered anything but friendly service and great food for a nice value. Obviously if you're looking for a stuffy downtown restaurant, you're not going to find one in the middle of horse country! We especially love their wine list because they have some local vineyards mixed in with a great selection of Napa and Sonoma. The Rombauer Chardonnay is one of our favorites and its one of the only places around that offers it. It is true that the dinners are on the large side, but I've never considered that to be negative. If you do like smaller entrees the salads are pretty interesting and always changing. Pros: Friendly servers, extenstive menu more

aybe our expectations were too high, as we do enjoy actual FINE DINING. Step in the front door and you are greeted by the stale smell of smoke from the adjacent bar. The decor was quite dated and lacked any level of sophistication. Our table was wobbly. Our waitress lacked the air and sophistication that we normally associate with fine dining. The dish I spied on their website was sadly not on the menu. The tuna was horrible overcooked. The presentation of the dishes was unimaginative and forced. Our wine was never topped off. Never were offered any water, even though a pitcher of water and iced tea was aging on a near-by window sill. Way too much food. The amount of food made us wonder is the quantity making up for the quality? Sadly, it was. Pros: none Cons: ambience, food, overpriced more
