We went to the Bird and Bottle Inn in Garrison on Sunday. It was good, but an unfortunate incident where we were overbilled for the wine at the end of the meal (it was corrected) dimmed our enthusiasm. I had the shrimp chowder and it was excellent – thick, rich and spicy. The veal chops were small, and a little undercooked for my taste, but the sauce and the horseradish smashed potatoes were tremendous. The big disappointment was the coconut creme brulee – it came out cold.
It is definitely a place to try. It really feels like you are in a tavern from the Revolutionary War days.

What a fabulous article on an impressive restaurant!
I look forward to going there after reading the emphasis on local ingredients and attention to making the food comforting and familiar…....and wine from Long Island ?.....absolutly!

What did you think of Tavern — or any other HVRW restaurant? Leave your reviews here in the comments field.

At the end of Restaurant Week, I will choose my two favorite comments and award the winners with a pair of tickets to a grand tasting session at the Greater New York Wine & Food Festival, which is May 15 and 16 at the Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown.
