What Jana Leannon doesn't like about Colonist Tavern:

I had the mushroom pie, it was nice but it was tiny and for $26.00 I'm still peckish. No wines under $8.00. The front bar was full of people but was quiet and had no ambiance, needed the music to be a bit louder. I wouldn't be heading back... View all feedback.

Then between 3of us had the Rabbit ra... View all feedback.
