A Taberna - ISLAND PARK

Always great! eat fanatics. the personal makes you feel like family.

Evening started out well. We got drinks and appetizers in a timely manner. Main course didn’t come until approx.40 minutes after we finished appetizers. Waiter never came to tell us what the delay was instead we had to keep inquiring. Finally the mgr came over and said there were a lot of carry out orders and they were short staff. Shouldn’t they be more concerned with in house diners? There was a large party there when we got there around 4:30, they didn’t get served until after us. Food was good except my Mother in law asked for medium rare lamb chops with rice and got well done with mashed potatoes. I hope this was just a one off and not indicative of ongoing issues.

Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Eve birthday celebration everything was delicious , service was very attentive. Prices are very fair. White sangria was beyond delicious. Portions generous

I thought this was a Portuguese restaurant, with typical Portuguese food, but the food was your typical American bistro focusing on seafood. There are a couple of Spanish dishes (Paella, salted cod). The service was spotty; we waited over an hour for our entrees. Decor and ambiance were nothing to Prices were standard; cocktails were a bit overpriced. Parking available in back of the restaurant.

We have yet to make it to our table once we grab a seat at the bar. Frank, the bartender, always takes great care of us and as usual the food was terrific.
