What a gem Grand Tavern Troy turned out to be! My husband and I stumbled upon it a few months ago during Happy Hour. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how warm, friendly, and efficient the staff were. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance--a pleasant hum of conversation without being overwhelmingly loud. It just feels good to be there.
The food? Fantastic. The Happy Hour menu is generous and full of flavor, which made it an easy decision for me to host a surprise Happy Hour birthday party for my husband there!
Eddie was amazing to work with in planning the event. We chose the private side room, which features two TVs on opposite walls--perfect for our group. Eddie was patient, helpful, and incredibly responsive throughout the planning process. He helped me set up a continuous photo slideshow on the TVs, making the celebration feel even more personal and special.
The appetizers were a hit: chicken skewers and chicken tenders (so juicy and flavorful--not dry at all), Brussels sprouts, burrata salad, and whipped feta with pita chips. Every dish was fresh, well-prepared, and thoroughly enjoyed by our guests--many of whom are still talking about how great the food was and how much fun they had.
Two servers were assigned to our party, and they were wonderful--consistently replenishing the buffet and making sure everyone had a drink in hand, all with a friendly smile.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Grand Tavern Troy has become our go-to spot, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Definitely a 5-star+ experience!
