Booth House Tavern - New Castle

Service was very slow. However, they were friendly. Not impressed with the menu selection. The BBQ sandwich was great. I wasn't impressed with the salmon burger.

It was a disappointing dinner at the Booth House Tavern in Old New Castle. This was my first time here and my first impression. I had already reviewed the menu online before I arrived and was going to order rack of lamb, Asparagus and spinach risotto with bread pudding. When I sat down the waiter gave me a menu that had salads, burgers and tavern fare and explained there was a limited menu as there was a problem with one the refrigerators and they had to throw a lot of food out. Would have been nice to be notified when the reservation was accepted. All I got of my expectations was the Asparagus and bread pudding. I ordered a gin and tonic with Tanguery. Was told they were out of Tanguery. I ordered the salmon with garlic mash and Asparagus. The other choice was steak. The salmon and rest of food was delicious. I did get bread pudding and coffee for dessert. I was disappointed with the bread pudding. It was cold and certainly not soft. The waiter service was okay. I understand there was live music in another room but wasn't given an option to be in that room. Another couple that came in walked out. I didn't but.......

We ate lunch at the Tavern, second floor. On the positive side, the books were a nice touch. The service was good, but not great. My wife tried to order the beet salad and was told it wasn't available. Oddly enough, a patron at a nearby table was able to order the beet salad about 15 minutes later. My wife had the beef tenderloin burger which was large but less tasty than the average Five Guys burger. The fries were barely above room temperature. I had the salmon burger which was a bit heavy on the onion. My fries were not hot either. For the price point, the food simply was not well executed.

I was really hoping this place would be good. Sadly that was not true. If you want stuck up, condescending children to serve you bad drinks, go here. If you want quality service and food, even a trash can would be better.

Worse service ever. Went for the opening and not only are the servers rude and made disrespectful comments but the management did nothing about it. There are better restaurants in the neighborhood. Go to those and don't waste your money here.
