Double Ts Tavern — Restaurant in Marlborough

This place is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I had the Armenian platter which was gigantic and delicious: the pizza was delightful (the meat, spices, etc. complemented each other) so that was instantly devoured... the rice pilaf is fresh AF, the salad was great and I LOVED the huge serving of hummus. I also had some (a lot) of my BF's meal because I was like "yolo let's just eat it all and go into a food coma for the weekend": his steak was cooked to perfection (med-rare), thick and juicy (that's what she said), and the Caesar salad was great, especially the dressing. The quality of the food and ingredients are very evident. The sangria was a perfect way to top off the meal. Both TJ and his father came by to see how everything was and our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and helpful. Excellent service all around. I really cannot say enough great things about this place. TJ is a phenomenal chef and his father is the perfect counterpart for the front of house, and you can see the pride that both take in their establishment. I would have taken pics but I was too busy stuffing my face. So in conclusion, 14/10 would recommend. Bring a BF, GF, friend, parent, whoever and eat off...

Cheers! Father and son got together and opened a restaurant/bar and every time you walk in, you feel like you're showing up to their home for a family meal.

There are two schools of magic at work here:

1. In addition to making exquisite cocktails (and beer/liqueur mixes!), Tom at the bar knows your drink after your first visit and
2. Tom Junior (TJ), chef in the kitchen, makes the most amazing and satisfying food! Standard fare menu items are created with care and detail and (insider tip) if you want to reward yourself, you should ask about what's not on the menu.

The menu is focused - the opposite of those 20 page encyclopedias some places cart out to your table. Every item is well-executed and delicious and for you meat lovers, my steak temperatures have been correct every time. If you're a Marlborough native, the "Marlborough putine" will bring you back in time. If like me, you're not, you'll still enjoy the heck out of it.

Go and enjoy and get treated like family. Assuming your family is stuffed with excellent bartenders and chefs. Also,...

was pretty upset with my experience.

Walked in the door to find no hostess station, with a "fend for yourself" vibe that left me unsure of how to proceed. I asked about a table and was shoo'ed away by different waitstaff. I ended up making my way to the bar to find an open seat. On my way there I saw multiple tables were open but I was told they were not available. they weren't sat for the entirety of my visit.

decor and clientele definitely skew to the an older customer base.

service from the bartender was inattentive and rude, had to ask twice to get a menu and was met with indifference at best when I had a question. It took forever to get a drink, took even longer to get my food order in.

I was harrassed by some patrons sitting next to me at the bar , which is not unheard of but speaks to the respect you can expect to receive if you aren't a regular.

food and drinks were OK, chicken tenders were cooked nicely but bland. everything else was fine.

won't be stopping back, and wouldn't suggest going unless you already go...
