What people say, in short
The Tabard Inn draws praise for its cozy, romantic atmosphere in a historic building, with drinks by the fireplace, a lovely courtyard in good weather, and eclectic artwork. One diner calls the food unreal, and another highlights good food and wine pairings, though one visitor found a recent meal shockingly mediocre after liking it years ago. It is called classic and charming, if a little shabby, and hosts live music on some days.

Unreal food and a cozy ambiance with eclectic artwork in a historic building; classic and charming rather than fancy.
