What User likes about Old Talbott Tavern:
we had a great dinner! I had a Bourbon flight with 5 choices I had never tried before. Four were great. 1 was okay. but that's why they try it right? I'm sorry I left my phone in the car or I added pictures. our server was perfect. the building was rich in history and stratified. they even delivered a 4-5 page printed story about the building and the area. it was an unforgettable evening!

Overall the experience was great. The bourbon bbq glaze was delicious but the meatballs themselves were very tough and dry. Drinks were great.
