Tavern Opens in Midtown
In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new kid on the block in Midtown. In what seems like the blink of an eye, the owners closed the doors of Lime and have now opened the doors of Tavern. The hope is that this new concept will be a better fit for a neighborhood that has steadily opened more and more sports bars and casual drinking joints in recent years. Billed as “Inspired Pub Cuisine and Libations”, Tavern is to me a perfect cross between its sister restaurants, Whiskey Kitchen and Virago. Upscale and hip, yet comfortable at the same time.

I was fortunate enough to be invited for a little sneak peek this weekend and based on that visit, give an enthusiastic thumbs up to the food, drinks and service. The grilled shishito peppers with sweet dipping sauce and my entree, the Scottish salmon with apple slaw and spicy red curry sauce, were both dishes that I could eat time and time again. In fact, as much as I look forward to going back and trying other menu items, it’s going to be really difficult not to order them!

looks great! I was always a little disappointed in Lime. Went a few times hoping it would be better than the last but it never left a huge impression.
Hopefully tonight’s meal will be a bit more impressive than the previous Lime ones! Looking forward to it~
awesome! now i can go here instead of fish & co. for after work cocktails!
True! I didn’t even think of that yesterday during our Twitter conversation….
I have to agree, your pepper appetizer was great!! I want to go back and try more of the menu as well! Thanks for having us. :)

What a great photo Beth! Love the shadows in it!
I had no idea Lime had closed! I’m still insanely jealous over Erin’s lens…. great pic’s.

Yes! It closed the middle of December and I’m amazed at how quickly they they completely changed the space.
Actually Erin took the photo of the drink with her iphone! Great pic for a phone, huh? The building image is a rendering from the architect, so that’s why the sky looks so cool ;-)
Yay! We can’t wait to come try it out!
Oh no! Wrong link. So sorry! Meant for today’s post but I was also scoping Tavern b/c I’m headed there after work :)
No worries! I was able to move it for you :-)
Have fun at Tavern! (highly recommend the salmon if you like salmon and curry)
