1920 Tavern — Restaurant in Roswell

The 1920 Tavern was perfect at accommodating my large party of over 20 people! Working with Jenna beforehand to make a booking for my parent's anniversary party was wonderful, and she, and the whole restaurant team, was so welcoming, hospitable, and attentive. I especially appreciated the service quality in regards to ordering, cooking, and delivering the food in such great time considering the large group that we were. That was one of my draw cards to this restaurant, that, even though they were packed and busy, the kitchen could handle our orders (without requiring a pre-fixe menu with an expensive spending agreement). I made this reservation by inquiring under the private events section of their website, and Jenna responded promptly and succinctly, and guided me through the whole process, as this was my first time planning such an event. The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, and they had us all set up in the rear room. We did have other parties dining near us, but I preferred this cheerful and excitable -but without being a wild unhinged party- sort of an atmosphere, anyway. I liked not being shoved away in a private room all by ourselves, away from the fun. The seating situation just made the vibe even more friendly and suitable for my group! The staff was quick at adapting when we would shuffle around in our seats and mingle with our friends. The restaurant staff also had no problem when some of my friends came in a bit early to set up some flowers, presents, and cake for my parents. And when they all agreed to yell surprise when my parents arrived! The food was delicious, from a lovely menu with such a range of meals for every diet! For the quality, location, and the service, I wouldn't say the food was overpriced! The serving sizes kept everyone satisfied. My dad especially enjoyed the Lamb Chops, and quite a few of my party loved the Calamari as well! As for the beverages, these came again in a wide range from the menu, and everyone enjoyed their orders. The owners were so nice as to bring us a free round of lemoncello shots! You can really feel the family atmosphere amongst the staff as well, and you feel a part of it! They were just so caring and understanding. Everyone, especially Jenna, kept checking in with us, and we even chatted with her father from South Africa as well! They really make you feel at home. Overall, the restaurant was the perfect pick for my parent's anniversary dinner. They made it such a special night and I look forward to coming back soon! Thank...

My sister and I just left this restaurant, and there are some things I’d like to talk about, not all good. Today is my birthday and we came to celebrate, with my sister surprising me. Unfortunately we had to stop my birthday celebration early for the behavior we encountered.

I gave the restaurant 2 out of 5 stars - one star for the food, one for the service and the ambiance. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Our server Rick was so nice and very efficient. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and I have no complaints about that.

However, we arrived at 6:12 and had a reservation at 6 - we only got a notification that our table was ready until 6:10. We were met with an attitude from the hostesses who said we would have to leave by 7:30 because of a party coming in. Ok, not a problem.

We sat, drank, ate and at around 6:45 I noticed that the hostesses and I guess a manager (short brown hair, older lady) kept walking back and forth around our table and staring at us indiscreetly. I felt like we were being rushed and it was still 45 minutes before they said we had to leave. I must’ve counted about 10 times they kept walking by us and looking at us. It made us very uncomfortable. I do not like to eat with people watching me like a vulture. It would not have made a difference if we were there at 6:10 on the dot, really. And yet they were acting like we had greatly inconvenienced them. Finally we left even though we wanted to get more drinks in the half hour we still had left because I had enough. It was a lot of negative energy.

No complaints about the rest of the staff, but the hostesses and manager made us feel very weird like we were not the type of people they want in their restaurant. We are Latina so maybe we were being profiled but I am a respectable young lady and have been a registered nurse for 4.5 years. I tipped 20% and we did not order cheap things. I won’t be coming back and I won’t recommend this place to...

I had the worst meal and frankly took two bites and couldn’t eat it. I am certain I was brought the wrong meal, but our waitress left after our drinks and appetizer arrived because she had worked a long day and we were given another waiter. The others in my party loved their meal, but when I questioned my meal to a third person that brought our food out, they did not seem to understand. I had ordered grouper on a bed of potatoes and broccolini, which I saw at the next table and had asked what they ordered,. What I received was some other fish on a bed of red peppers (which I personally can’t digest). I did enjoy people watching since I couldn’t eat my meal and had it boxed up to let one of my friends eat for lunch the next day since a fourth person had to take our credit card because our waiter had been absent for an extended amount of time (all of our glasses were empty). We could have enjoyed another round of drinks if they had been on top of things. I was told such amazing things about this restaurant and my friends had come two nights prior and two were returning to let me experience it. Needless to say, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps my review would have been better if I had received what I ordered, had a person to follow through with the obvious wrong order and was able to eat. It’s sad that since Covid, places are having a hard time finding people to work and dealing with mixups and bad service are becoming the norm. I will say everyone that received what they ordered loved it. It is an expensive oops when you don’t. I came home and ate a frozen pizza. It was sad. What a...
