The Tap Room at the Mayflower Inn Spa

It has been several months since I last dined here and the food quality and service has improved tremendously. The quality of food was immensely better since the new chef came on board. The trout was perfectly cooked and prepared with a nice side sauce. The salads were flavorful and bright. The Brussels sprouts were savory and well balanced. The plating was a little spare. I think the visuals of the plates could boost the overall experience. The service was kind and attentive.

We made a 7:45 reservation but when we arrived we were told it would be a 10 minute wait so we should get a drink at the bar, which we did. 30 minutes later, we still were not seated so I asked the hostess for a status update. I was told the table would be just a few minutes longer (the diners were finishing desert). Another 17/18 minutes went by and we were finally seated. Then, it was another 7 or 8 minutes before anybody took out order. So, all in, we waited an hour before being able to order our food. We were not provided any apology, or offered a complimentary drink, or dessert. To keep people waiting an hour is absolutely unacceptable, but it’s very poor form to not acknowledge this wait with some type of complimentary drink as a means of ensuring valued customers want to return to your establishment.

There were 4 of us and all felt the same . We had 3 hamburgers that were not good. The french fries were like eating plastic.Not executable for $32. Chicken was better. We keep hoping the Tap Room were more like the old days. The last 2 chefs are not of the way it should be. Love the idea of a nice place to go on a sunday evening but will not go back and we and our friends went weekly for years.

As always, exceptional service, beautiful, ambience, and extremely high-quality food 

Wonderful restaurant. It was my wife’s birthday and they gave us 2 complimentary glasses of sparkling wine and also put a candle in her desert without even requesting as well.
