“This experience was lovely. Romantic. Delicious. On par. The service is exceptional. The food was flavorful, tender, fresh, beautifully plated So much attention to detail, even in how they make the tables. Definitely a high end experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant!”
“Remarkable Defined: “Something so striking it makes you want to discuss or remark upon it.” This is Wright’s Tavern’s undercurrent. You feel the need - the obligation even - to touch on every aspect, each component, of this memorable dining experience. We started with cocktails - sazerac was the crowd pleaser, and conversation starter for the evening. Tried to order one of these in Australia once... For starters we took advantage of the scallop special and the crab cake - a menu mainstay. What is great about the special is they allow you to scale. Need another scallop? Two? No problem. Both superb and table was split as to which was the better. I leaned to the crabcake, as the scallop, while beautifully crusted, was just cooked enough to require a knife while I would have liked it fork-tender. For the entrees we ordered the 20oz ribeye but substituted the offered side (mashed) for the dauphinoise potatoes. Astounding. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the dauphinoise may well haunt my dreams. As a steak purist, I was skeptical of their use of sauces and gravies but the mustard jus served with the ribeye is expertly paired. It needs to be noted they consider all the sides that come with their steaks interchangeable, and substitutes are welcomed and all sauces can be served on the side as well. Other entrees were the potato crusted halibut and the steak frites. Both beautifully presented and very enjoyable. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and the crème brûlée, the latter was silkier and smoother than what you may find elsewhere while the former was determined by all at the table to be their favorite. Recommend both without hesitation. 5/5 The service IS truly remarkable and I think what separates this venture from its peers. Professional, staid, but in an approachable fluid manner that effortlessly flows throughout the room while being omniscient without omnipresence. It is, however, ever obvious they hope to not have you linger, as after 2 hours our check was presented without request. I didn’t love that, but understand the logistical need. 5/5 Lastly, as noted by others the space is constricted. My neighbor behind me and I had a mini jousting match with our chairs. Even the short walk to your table over uneven floor should be done gingerly as you make your way to your smallish chair. 3/5”
“Me and my husband went to this restaurant on a whim tonight and I was so impressed by the atmosphere, the ambiance, the food, the craft cocktails, and the great service. We looked online at the menu before coming so we knew what we where ordering, but I can't wait to come back to try something else. It's a perfect place for date night or a night out with your best friend. Our server Ricky was awesome ask for him next time you visit. He was attentive and explained the menu and the specials for tonight. He also recommended my cocktail the Tavern Paloma which was refreshing and made just right. We ordered the Tavern Burger which was excellent! And the fries with the aoli was THE BEST!!! Shout out to the Chef!!! I can't wait to come back and try the other items on the menu. Thanks Ricky for your excellent customer service!!!!”
“CK is truly one of the best in the business knowledgeable, welcoming, and exceptional at what she does. You can tell she genuinely cares about the experience, and it shows in every interaction. The drinks and food were amazing, but what really stood out was the atmosphere she helps create. It’s rare to find someone who not only knows their craft but elevates the entire space the way she does. Wright’s Tavern is lucky to have her. Much love always a great time.”
“Stayed up late and made a reservation a month in advance for my hubby‘s birthday and it was well worth it. Wright’s has a romantic & moody vibe, perfect for a date night. We started off with the crab cake which was by far the most delectable bite we had. An absolute must have! For our entrees, we chose the potato-crusted halibut and 14oz New York strip. The halibut was delicate in flavor, but the lemon beurre blanc sauce packed richness. Unfortunately the NY strip was disappointing. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, however the steak & crust itself was dry & tough. We would recommend future guests just stick with the seafood entree options, as they were absolutely delicious. The onions rings were good as is, but the tavern aioli made them great. The service we received was impeccable. Overall, we still had a 5 star experience at Wright’s and will be back!”
