    All the dishes were great except for the eggplant, which was undercooked and underwhelming. Our server was very attentive to our needs and exchanged it for the mushroom toastie.

    Manor Tavern has emerged as a local, farm to table, excellent dining experience time after time. The soups, salads, entrees and drinks menu makes it worth the drive.

    While the flavors of the food was good, it was cold. That was disappointing because being a buffet, I didn’t feel like Cooking could ask the server to heat it all up. The server was attentive initially, but went rogue until she brought the check. We were going to have coffee, tea, and more drinks, but she didn’t return until the very end WITH the check.

    The night we went the kitchen was clearly having trouble as we waited over an hour for food. The weight staff kept us informed, and the manager came over several times, finally providing free dessert, and drink to compensate us. For our time. The food was excellent and the ambience was nice, except that our table was under the air conditioning and it got quite cold. When they turned it off it improved.

    All good things eventually end. So be it for The Manor Tavern. Met at the entrance by a young lady who was dressed as if she just came from the gym. Seated in the overflow/storage dining room, looking at a group of tables and chairs being stored for an event. Our entree order got "lost"...after 55minutes the manager came by, apologized, and offered to comp us a glass of wine. Took another 10mins to be served!! Food was very good: entrees excellent, oyster appetizer poor. I have been coming to The Manor Tavern for the last 30+/- years...birthday/anniversary celebrations. Even hired their catering group to do my daughters wedding at the Liriodendrum. This visit was supposed to be just a night out with good friends at a very fine establishment. So sad, it was a huge disappointment.

    I ordered the beet salad. It very tasty and nicely presented. I would expect a bit more for the cost. Perhaps a few more greens which were very sparse. My pineapple bourbon chicken was nicely cooked. The fried avocado was a tasty, different addition, however the black rice was a bit overcooked. My friend enjoyed everything about his Mahi special. The wine and beer proved nice accompaniments. The server was pleasant and better than average. The weather was beautiful adding to a nice outdoor atmosphere. Overall a nice dining experience with the the exception of the very heavy and very noisy furniture when moved....like nails on a chalkboard. Hard to overlook because it was the last memorable experience of the evening.

    Always a nice dining experience here. We went at 5 pm to ensure it wasn’t too busy and so it would be quieter. Had the surf and turf and the salmon- all delicious. Oysters on half- shell were good but very very small. Bread basket was delicious! Service was outstanding.

    I ordered half a dozen oysters and got six of the smallest I have ever been served. For what was served I thought it was overpriced. The staff was wonderful. The shrimp and grits, and shrimp and mozzarella appetizers are delicious. The half rack of ribs was a generous serving and the cole slaw is unique and very tasty.
