I live downtown and I wonder to this day why I slept on this wonderful restaurant. We started with the house made corn bread, which is definitely a fancy version of what most of us know as corn bread. Their passion fruit mocktail and Freebird drinks were delicious. For our main course we ordered the country fried steak and the Tavern burger. We were so full we did not have the opportunity to get any of the desserts. That is something we have to look forward to. From their drinks to their foods it is safe to say that every bite and sip is an explosion of flavor. Your taste buds will be confused and amazed at the same time.
Lamb chops, bourbon drink, and burgers are great. Bone marrow was not very much marrow but delicious. Lamb skewers and NY strip were just okay. Service was amazing first half of meal but we were left waiting at the end for boxes and check.

A friend who live in Honolulu recommended us to this restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. The prime rib is so tender , they even helped us to cut it to smaller pieces so we could share. We also had Beets & frisee. The portion of scallop mushroom risotto was very generous, and the taste was very flavourful. Sunchoke & Brussels was another nice dish. The service was attentive. At the end, we couldn’t finish the food, so we had to pack to go. It was a nice dinner!
We have been here time and time again because I cannot get enough of their Filet Mignon with potatoes and asparagus. And their “psycho killer”, a hibiscus tequila drink, is do die for. I have never been disappointed with this plate through the 3-4 years, just saying. Tonight we walked in to it being MUCH busier than usual (good for them, but hearts out to the staff though) and we’re thankful that we had Cortney/Courtney/Kortney/..etc (sorry, I was unsure of the spelling) to make us feel oh so welcome and comfortable despite the rush. I always forget to take pictures of the entrees because I’m so excited to eat, but to start we had the crab cakes and pumpkin soup. SO FLAVORFUL and light, it was absolutely delicious. My filet mignon was delightful and bigger than usual, and my wife enjoyed her chicken pappardelle to the fullest.
I enjoyed the rich salad, more bistrot style approach. The apple desert was tasty, light and good size to share.
Food is well priced and delicious! We don’t eat out often, and we had a great 1st experience. My partner and I shared the chop salad, oxtail mac, clam chowder, grilled octopus, and half rack of lamb. Holy cow everything was perfect and yummy. The stars of the meal were the lamb and octopus; lamb is our favorite food and it was prepared 10/10. Cocktails were also a treat; not too sweet. We were SO full and would definitely recommend this place to others. Come here for a great and unpretentious yet memorable dinner.
We enjoyed dinner at Livestock Tavern. We started with the Lobster and spinach dip and the special soup of the day french onion soup. For main we had the smoked prime rib and half rack of lamb. Overall it is good. I did not like the sauce that they put with the lamb.
