Tavern in the Square , LLC - Brighton

Went for my birthday our waiter was great and music eating all great

The service was terrible. the drinks took 45 minutes to get to the table. no sweat. 3-4 barkeepers behind the bar and 45 minutes waiting for drinks? the server hardly came by to check. seriously wished we had just left.

Second time to eat here; chose it this time based on semiconvenience to agganis Arena/BU hockey game. Eat was good. they have some interesting decisions. the ambiente is decent – the smokeable; it is guessed later in the night rather busy. server (female) was friendly, but that is it. not very attentive or efficient; hing from chatting at the bar while we waited for extra chips (that they are up – and never received) and then standing at hostess when we wanted to pay. I don't want to get her into trouble. be simply better – and less chat w/ coworkers in, while your table is waiting for things.

Good food, options for people with allergies. Parking on Friday night was a little difficult at the Allston location.

Ordered the Asian Ribs app and the description didn't match what we got. No pineapple or fortune cookie, three ribs. Dinner (Steak Tips) came with lukewarm sides (mashed) and broccoli that was supposed to be oven roasted green beans. Kitchen should attempt to have food match menu description. Was not impressed. Steak tips were cooked correctly and tasted good, but again, menu described a marinade and you could not taste it.
