Tate's

We were married at Tate’s, and would recommend their event space to anyone. The view of Connecticut River is beautiful! They really strive to give you a complete experience. Though we hired an outside decor and floral vendor (Petals & Plates, Southington CT), Tate’s even has decor items to rent so that you can truly take the worry out of your big day. Tate’s event coordinator was wonderful to work with, and they have a variety of packages for any budget. They even matched menus to our own signage for a seamless look. We were able to hold an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour which transitioned into an indoor reception. Dinner and dessert were fantastic, with Tate’s making both our cutting cake and the donut wall all our guests are still talking about. Vegan and vegetarian options are available! Overall we had a perfect, stress-free day with Tate’s staff at the helm. We love what the LaMonicas have done to rehabilitate this lovely space!

Been here twice so far and both times were a good experience! The outdoor seating is mostly in the shade which is very nice even when it's hot. This place can get very busy and I can see why. The food is very flavorful! The chef does excellent work. We got there around 5-530 and we had a short wait, but on the weekend day, a lot of people came behind us. Indoor seating is always available but there is usually a wait for the outdoor seating. The views and atmosphere is fantastic so I can see why it is so popular. Sometimes the service seemed slow but we didn't mind at all, we loved sitting out there and it was very busy. Despite how busy they were, our servers were always friendly and attentive to our food and drinks. The place is on the pricey side but it's a very nice occasion place or to take visiting friends or family out.

A really fun lunch out on the water. We sat outside and had some really fun and tasty dishes. The steamers were great and a real treat, they aren’t on many menus in CT! The kimchi fries were really flavorful and a great dish to share. The tuna nachos were delicious too. Fun place for a group! The ice cream window was a great after dinner stop

Hey, it's your girl!!!! It was 84° today, and I decided to take my mom n son to Tate's. It was really good. The view was awesome. Nice cool breeze by the water. Not too crowded, seated on the patio. The server was friendly and attentive. The purple 🍹 is Rafiki's Tiki (mocktail version) soooooo good. We also had fish n chips, buffalo chicken egg rolls, kids burger n fries, and tinga chicken tacos (not a fan of that). Overall, I'm coming back with somebody's son, lol. Until next time!!!😘 **Update: I didn't eat much of the tacos. I only took one bite, and the manager took the tacos off my bill. Yall are dope, ty.** 😃 Happy Customer

Today I visited the Ice Cream window. Sat outside on a park bench and watched the river, large white "Harrons" walking the "surf" line on the other side of the river, some other large birds swimming and diving in the middle. Oh yeah, the ice cream was good, a fun little treat. Obviously you don't come to a place like this for value in your purchase. Large cup (coffee) 3 scoops, $8.05, change went in the tip cup for a $10 cup of ice cream.(waffle cone 2 scoops, same price) It's later on a Sunday afternoon, so there wasn't any waiting

What a beautiful and serene view sitting on the river! There was ample parking and easy to find just off the highway. It is a beautiful restaurant, inside and out!

Visted here for lunch Tuesday afternoon with mom and it was a wonderful experience overall. My mother appreciated the wide variety of gluten free items and items that could be modified. I enjoyed the smashburger and it was very good! Plus side was having nice weather this day to sit outside and enjoy the views of the water and Arrigoni Bridge. Did not get dessert this time around but will be returning back for more items!

Visited Tate’s a week ago with some family, and I was genuinely impressed with the food, drinks, and overall atmosphere. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and they had just opened their heated outdoor dome, which added a fun seasonal touch. We started with the buffalo chicken egg rolls, which were absolutely to die for—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. For our entrées, we tried the Smash Burger and the Hail Caesar Pita, both of which were delicious and full of flavor. The signature drinks were also spot on and very tasty. I’d definitely recommend Tate’s to anyone looking for great food, great drinks, and an all‑around amazing time.

Went on a Friday in September around 5 and it wasn't too busy yet. I would say it got busy between 6 and 630. I can't remember our bartenders name but she was great. The Paradise with Spice drink (their version of a spicy marg) was really good, I believe it was $14 so I only got one of those. Happy hour is weekdays at the bar only from 3-6. I wish the happy hour menu had more options. For oyster lovers they have $1 oysters. For food, we ordered the tuna nachos, birria tacos and fish tacos, everything was great. View is awesome too even from the bartop as there are huge windows looking outside. The only downside is that it is a little expensive (which is why I was hoping for a bigger happy hour menu) but I think that's just standard now unfortunately because food prices aren't cheap. Feedback: cocktail menu (not pictured) doesn't have the beer sizes listed so you don't know if it's a pint or 12 ounces, etc. I wish menus were updated online, I couldn't find any happy hour menu information (I saw an older social media reel but the video was too fast to pause and read the menu) and the cocktail menu that I found online was not current. I wish there was an indoor/outdoor bar so you could have the quick bar service or happy hour deals but enjoy sitting outside at the same time. Overall, I will be back and plan to try the brunch.

I saw videos about this place and was excited to check it out for the waterfront view. Unfortunately, we weren't able to sit outside since there was a wait, so we sat inside instead (no wait). The restaurant itself is decorated very nicely and has a clean, welcoming atmosphere, but it seems like most people go mainly for the outdoor view; which we didn't get to experience. The menu is pretty limited and nothing really stood out to me. I ended up ordering the salmon bowl, which was actually pretty good, though the rice tasted more like boxed Goya rice than homemade. My drink was solid and our server was friendly, the restaurant started filling up around 4:30-5:00. Overall, the presentation of the restaurant is nice, the food I had was decent, and service was good. I just wish we had been able to sit outside for the view and that the menu had more variety.

I finally got the chance to check out Tate's in Middletown CT! I have wanting to go for a while so I am super excited to right this review ! The location is amazing the have a beautiful view of the Connecticut river which you can see from their outdoor patio and inside as well. They also have a great walking area by the water for nice walk before or after your meal ! ( note the outdoor patio is not dog friendly and the restaurant is very busy especially during peak hours .. and they do not currently take reservations ). For a Saturday around 6 we waited about 20-30 min for indoor seating ( about an hour for outdoor seating ) but we were able to sit at the bar until our table was ready , so the wait wasn't bad ! I started with the strawberry daqu-Rita which was very good ! The aperol spritz was amazing highly recommend ! For appetizers we order the peach whipped feta dip which was fabulous ! It came with fresh bread and veggies ( which I loved ) perfect for sharing and was a fan favourite at our table ! I knew it was good because I don't normally like feta .. but I loved this dip ! Next we ordered The buffalo cauliflower which was amazing ( I again normally don't like buffalo because it's too spicy for me ) but this sauce was really good you got the flavour of buffalo without the overwhelming spice ! Highly recommend ( also came with some veggies) For my entree I ordered the Waldorf salad sandwich which was really good too ! It also came with a pickle and a side of fries! The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which I loved ! Overall 10/10 atmosphere was fabulous perfect for summer with view of the water ! Perfect for hanging with friends or a nice date night ! The food was amazing all the food was amazing I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order ! Can't wait to come back and try more food

The food was great , nice to see the water. The staff was very helpful. I brought my grandchildren for a special lunch. The kids menu was excellent ! The children had a great experience!!

Stopped by Tate's on a Monday to catch happy hour. We really wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather, so we chose to sit outside and skip the specials. The food was excellent. We shared a few appetizers and fish tacos, and everything was flavorful and well done. Just the right amount for two! The plantains were a standout: crispy, sweet, and there were plenty. I even had enough to take home and enjoy later as a midnight snack. The crab cakes were tasty, though smaller than expected (three cakes) but still enjoyable. The fish tacos were fantastic. The fish was super crispy and a nice surprise. Everything was seasoned really well, and the fries were hot and crisp, not an afterthought at all. I had two different beers. Some of the taps were unavailable (it was a Monday after a holiday) but the selection was still solid. My friend had a spicy pineapple cocktail that she loved so much she ordered a second. Sweet, refreshing, and strong enough to keep things interesting. The music they played was great, (2000s mix?) and the vibe outside was relaxed and welcoming. Our server was genuinely awesome with a great energy. One of the coolest parts is the boat dock and we saw a few people actually pulled up by water to grab dinner. Tate's is located right in Harbor Park, so after you eat, you can take a peaceful walk along the river. The whole setup makes it a perfect date night spot or a nice place to unwind with friends. I'm already planning my next visit. I want to try the tuna nachos next, and honestly, based on how good everything was, I'd be happy to work my way through the entire menu.

I've been dying to come here and it didn't disappoint. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and waiting only 10 minutes for a seat outside for five people. Our waitress was very nice, she kept coming back and asking how we were. The food was amazing!!!! I got the chicken Caesar sandwich that was great, but I had to try the lemon ricotta rigatoni which I thought was the best dish at the table. Sitting outside was so great, the view is amazing.

Came here for lunch and had a pleasant experience. It's nice that there is somewhere on the river that offers docking for boats - oddly very rare. My friends and I decided to stop by and have a quick bite. We were promptly seated and our waiter came over right away. We ordered a bunch of apps and entrees and everything tastes great. I got the birria tacos and they were so, so delicious which a nice kick. The only issue was the service was a tad slow. Half of us never got our drinks and had to remind the waiter and it took a long time to get the desserts. It was busy, yes, but it did look like the other tables were being served quickly. Not too much of an impediment to stop be from going back.

Enjoyed a perfect late morning brunch at Tate's with my husband a couple weekends ago. This place has a great view right on the water! Our server was super accommodating and friendly. We ordered a specialty drink and lattes for beverages and two sweet breakfast items for food. Everything was delicious and I was excited to learn that they have live music and events during the summer. We will definitely be returning!

Took my neighbor to Tate's for her Birthday Lunch [97]. Got a table on the deck under an umbrella and got ready to enjoy a good meal. We both like Lobster Rolls and this was close enough for us with a short drive. She insists on the cold lobster roll and me the hot one. We were both pleased with the service, ambience and food. I think she got more lobster than me but she was probably bragging They both were delicious and filled with great lobster. We also both got the fries; she the regular and me the Piri Piri style. I won that contest as they were delicious and addictive. Her glass of Pinot Grigio was excellent. My Guinness non-alco was a disappointment but live and learn. We will definitely both be back!

Came here on a Monday around 7 after going to brownstone. It was insanely busy and we were told if we wanted to eat outside there were 10 other people waitlisted. So we opted to dine inside to cut down on time. Our waitress was in scrambles trying to keep up with the crowd and maintaining her tables, which we understand that's managements issue, not hers. She did her absolute best bopping around the tables. The calamari was good, nothing out of the ordinary. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, the chicken tacos were a typical dish but a good bite. By the time we were finishing our food they started packing up for the night and putting chairs on top of tables. We ended up being the last people upon closing but they were nice enough to let us finish our meals while they closed. It would be nice to return for the outside dining on a less crowded night for a fair chance.

Had a lovely evening eating dinner Al fresco on the banks of the CT River!! Our server, Anny (sp?) was great!! I had the Cobb Salad and Pinot Grigio and my daughter had the Mokey Smash Burger (sorry, no pic of the burger but she thoroughly enjoyed it!!) and the Red Skies!! Both were delicious!! We've also been here for Sunday Brunch, which we will definitely be back for!! Glad to see life being brought back to this beautiful location!!

Tate's is the latest incarnation of the incredible flooding restaurant on the banks of the CT river in Middletown. This time around it's been lovingly restored to a pleasant and bright interior. Dining al fresco on the deck is the main attraction. I was there with a friend on a Monday in mid-September and the glorious weather, dramatic clouds and lovely views did not disappoint. Service was good and food and drink were above average. I had the meatball sliders and my companion chose a burger. We were pleased if not ecstatic. The desserts are homemade on premises per our server and the lemon cheesecake with a meringue layer was scrumptious. I wish them well. The location is all but the challenges are many.

Had a great experience at the bar last night. Fabulous skinny margarita where the bartender recommended a fellow restaurant's tequila which was delicious, tuna tacos were off the hook and the Turkey Sandwich and the smash burger were all delicious. Live music was great-would have been better if he said who he was. We will be back!

This spot is a local favorite. With its beautiful water front views it is perfect for lunch and dinner. We even love taking our toddler along with us for a date night. Love the picture window bar and dining area outside. They make delicious drinks.. martins and more! River views live music and a great menu-- can't beat it! You've got to get everything on the menu. :) We love you Tates!

Tates was recommended to me by a friend. We had an awesome late lunch/early dinner. Started with an app that was whipped feta with pistachios and peach chutney- mouth watering! My husband got the focaccia grilled cheese that was amazing. I had the hot lobster roll which was a generous serving with clarified butter plus extra butter on the side- fantastic. It was my second lobster roll of the season and it made the first one I had (at SoNo Seafood in Norwalk) look like I grabbed it at a gas station by comparison. We had one cocktail and one mocktail and they too were expertly crafted. Can't wait till our next visit. Ample outdoor seating overlooking Connecticut River- great setting Sat at the bar looking out at river as it was a hot humid day with no breeze. Service was excellent

I came here for brunch on a Sunday with my husband and friend. The menu had some really good choices, and I eventually settled with the Breakfast Pot Pie - sausage gravy with scrambled eggs, biscuits, and home fries. This was seriously one of the best breakfast meals I've ever had. The savory gravy and biscuits were ridiculously good. The portion was also huge, I had plenty of leftovers for the following morning. We did also split Strawberry Poptarts, which were good but I would have preferred them to be served warm. I will be back again for another awesome brunch!

1 for service. Our waitress was great but the whole place is super slow. Bus boy was lost and messy. Food was good - but fries were cold. Lobster on the cold lobster roll was solid / but overall lacked flavor and seasoning. Place was ok. Outside looked great but we were in

First time visit to this restaurant. The menu was promising and the food delivered. Wonderful crab cakes and the scallops. Service was excellent and friendly. The location is overlooking the Connecticut River and the decor is well done inside. We will definitely be back for more dinners.

Great view. Great drinks. Great food. Been looking forward to trying this spot since I first heard this new venture was coming into the old Canoe Club! There was a little over an hour wait on a Friday night, but that was to be expected. Hang out at the bar and grab a drink while you wait or take in the view. Loved their outdoor patio and the inside is gorgeous as well. The menu is a bit expensive but everything we tried was very good! The cocktails are unique and fun and there's a great variety. The service was also spectacular for a newly opened restaurant. Really no complaints other than price. I can't wait to see what else they do here!

I'm giving this restaurant 4.5 stars! As many locals know, this location has been around for a while with many different names. Dare I say... Someone has finally gotten it right?! It's bright, CLEAN, no weird smells. Even the bathroom is nice. The menu has a Mediterranean undercurrent, which I love. For you fellow pescetarians, I had a mushroom gyro. My husband was happy with his chicken wrap. We sat out on the deck, which has a lovely view of the CT River and a few wandering souls.

I was extremely excited to try Tates thinking that finally someone came to that space to build a great restaurant. I was a little let down and that may be because my expectations were do high. We originally wanted to sit on the patio but rain was in forecast so we sat inside. It was a nice effort to add some sound barriers but it was so incredibly loud. At first I sat across from my date but couldn't hear a word being said so I moved to be the side. It was a little better but found myself saying "huh" too much. I ordered a margarita which tasted delicious as they use their own margarita mix and not a mixed one. Unfortunately I only ordered one because it seemed to small for the $10 price tag. My date had a coors light Dinner was good. Steamers for appetizer were very good and perfect amount of seasoning. My coconut mahi was blackened and came with am extremely delicious salsa of pineapple and mango (menu said avocado was part of salsa but it was sliced and placed on top of fish). The coconut rice and red pepper coulis were amazing. The salsa, rice and coulis made the most refreshing bite. It was a combo I never knew I needed in my life

Go for the vibe maybe? Def not the hot lobster roll. It was in some type of cream? Honestly felt like it was yesterday's buttered lobster re heated- it was creamy and chunky which I've never seen? Inedible.

Service was a little slow, went for lunch. Being able to sit on the river outside made it worth it. All the food/drinks were good! Docked 1 star because we waited over 20 minutes for the check to be picked up. I was with my girlfriend chatting, so we didn't mind, but if I had somewhere to be, I would be annoyed.

I came here for lunch and we had some apps lunch and drinks I will say drinks were really good not too sweet. The appetizers were decent besides the clams they were very fishy I had the burger for lunch and that was really good The service was pretty good and the place was clean plus the outdoor seating was nice

The decor is classy and fun. The staff are attentive, experienced and helpful. Food and drink options are exciting and delicious. It's my new favorite spot with the water view too!

We got there and were offered immediate seating inside or about a 30-minute wait for an outdoor table. We decided to sit inside. Our server let us know it was only his fifth day working at Tate's -- he was really nice and even went back to the kitchen to answer one of our questions. The service ended up being pretty slow, but it wasn't the server's fault; the kitchen seemed really backed up. For starters, we ordered the shrimp cocktail, buffalo chicken egg rolls, and kimchi steaks for the table. All the apps were great and everyone enjoyed them. After that, we had the clam chowder, which was very good, along with our entrées. The entrées were just okay overall -- the rigatoni stood out as very good, but everything else was average. It was a bit noisy inside, but we could still enjoy each other's company, and we had plenty of time to catch up since the food took so long to come out. We all agreed we wouldn't rush to go back, but maybe coming just for drinks and appetizers on the patio would be worth another visit

Our party of 4 arrived at 4:30PM on Wednesday evening. Joanne seated us at Table 39, where we had a great view of the River and the Middletown High Crew Team practice. The ECBC Lager tap was inop so we ordered cocktails & mocktails...which were very well executed. Our entrees included the Mokey Smashburger, Pulmoki Bowl, Scallop Basket...preceded by an excellent Clam Chowder! Overall, we were very pleased with the food and impressed with the staff. We shall return!

Great ambiance and decor, don't feel rushed to get out of there. Food is a little pricey but good. Expected the pasta to be a little different (less soupy sauce) Servers and runners are friendly.

This place is beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and helpful. I sat at the bar to have a drink while waiting for friends. I got smoke on the water. Good but a bit too smoky for my taste. Then moved outside. This place is going to be beautiful in the fall! It was hard to pick what I was going to eat but got the sweet and spicy plumaki bowl. My friend got a salad with salmon. The food was delicious. I need to go back to try other things!!

The tuna nachos are good and I think the cocktails are fun. The servers really seem put out that you are there though which is unfortunate. Of course the ambiance is pretty as it is right on the river. A good place to have an appetizer and cocktails if the weather is nice. Other than that I wouldn't visit for anything else. I just don't like when servers act like they are bothered to serve you. Kind of a turn off.

The good news: location,location,location. Right on the Connecticut River in Middletown. More good news, the zucchini chips and the cauliflower bites were excellent. The tuna nachos were a work of art. Now the bad news. The beautiful tuna nachos were a greasy salt bomb. The tuna and avocado were micro diced, so small as to have no flavor and barely there. A complete ripoff. Running the length of the restaurant are two bare metal AC ducts that drip condensation on diners while eating. And the noise. It's a newly opened place and they didn't spend a dime on sound dampening.

I really enjoyed this place! It has amazing outdoor seating next to the water which had a waitlist for when we went however, we sat inside by the bar which has giant windows facing the water so it was a good option. We got the Steak Fry stack as an app which 10/10 I do recommend! It was delicious. My boyfriend got the Miso Gnocchi as his meal which was amazing. I got the Elote Wrap which was pretty good but a bit dry, might have been better if it was a little more saucy or came with some sort of dipping sauce. I got the greens on the side with the white balsamic dressing which was fantastic as well. The drinks were very tasty and cute. There was a lot of parking and its has a nice walkway next to it to go for a stroll by the water after or before your meal! I would definitely come back here.

We held a rehearsal dinner on Friday August 1 which was fabulous! The venue was beautifully decorated and we had the use of the outside deck as well as the upstairs event room. The buffet was delicious and both the bartender and server were as nice aa could be and did an amazing job. There is absolutely nothing bad to say and I would recommend them 100%!

We stopped here on the way home from a soccer tournament. Food, Service and ambiance was great. Would definitely recommend and stop by again if we were in the area.

We are so happy this place has re-opened. The view is gorgeous on the river. The new owners have done a great job with this restaurant inside is very clean as it is a brand new build the one thing aesthetically that I thought was missing is a little pop of color, there's a nice space above the trim of the ceiling that would make for a cute spot for some color or local art. We got the mahi dinner and the lobster roll. Both were delicious although I personally wish the mahi had more of that mango salsa. It was so yummy and less of the tomato sauce I found the tomato sauce to be a little confusing pallet wise with the other flavors of the salsa and rice. Their crabcakes were out of this world, fresh and delicious. Same with the shrimp cocktail. For drinks my husband got a spicy tequila drink that was on the menu. I cannot remember the name of it and I got the Kermit's revenge super tasty and sweet. Our server was Cole, and he was awesome very attentive, and no mistakes were made. Looking forward to coming here much more often this summer!

Great view of the river! The ambience definitely deserves 5 stars but, unfortunately, the food did not deliver. The apps were delicious--I'd highly recommend the crab cakes and tuna nachos! Entrees, however, fell flat. I had the fried fish entree--it was fine but I expected a bit more for $28. My wife had the mahi which was dry and flavorless. The other entrees that our table ordered were similarly disappointing. Decent wine/cocktail list with some creative options and great summer sippers. Service was good--attentive server and friendly bartenders.

So glad I get to be the first to review! Just went here last night and the food was incredible. My friends and I had the chicken sliders, clam chowder, strawberry salad and ribeye! Everything was cooked perfectly and the sauces, dressings, flavor on everything was spot on. The service was great as well thanks to Cole! So happy to have a great spot so near my house, with a gorgeous location right on the river. I know I will be here at least a few more times this summer and I can't wait to try all the menu items, as well as the drinks! Great job Tate's!!

Besides the most beautiful views, Tate's has an upbeat atmosphere, offers a creative menu, delicious cocktails, and friendly service. This is a lovely addition to Middletown!

Stopped by for lunch yesterday. Waited around at the hostess podium for a few minutes before we were noticed. I really like the decor and ambiance. I like how the bar seating looks out at the river, rather than all the liquor you could drink. I had the fish sandwich which was pretty great and was an ample sized hunk of fish on a fresh brioche bun. Fries were nice and crispy and well seasoned. I was a little let down by the beer selection they were out of stock. I was just surprised that the restaurant being affiliated with Eli Cannon's, and they were out of several of the Eli Cannon's brews. Staff was friendly and professional, and the wait staff was attentive and quick. I would go back.

Amazing, The clam and mussels out of this world lol The view is incredible The service is the best Food is amazing

Started at a 3 because we waited 50 minutes for a table outside when there were tables open that we eventually sat at. Drink at the bar, The Ark, was great as well as the service there was great. It was a Sunday so ordered off the brunch menu. Both the Italian scramble and the lemon ricotta rigatoni were very tasty. Great view for a nice day. Food came out timely. The initial wait when tables were open was the major negative.

The food was delicious. The parking lot was full but it's a huge place, so we were able to be seated right away. The waiter did a great job.

My second trip here was for lunch and i can't wait to go back. I ordered the salmon bowl and it was delicious! The atmosphere is really fun and the dinning room is nice and open. The view overlooking the river is so pretty too. Next time i think I'm going to sit at the massive bar and enjoy the view

Right on the water with friendly employees. Menu is decent and food good quality. Outdoor seating area the best in town.

Tates it was okay....Its more the ambience drinks and water views for this place than the food. Tried the foccaccia grilled cheese was okay but was more like a sandwich than a grilled cheese, and the plumaki bowl was not good, the rice and edamane tasted old and all the flavors just didn't go well together food was cold when it got to the table. I would probably return only to enjoy cocktails on the deck.

Ambiance: Love the airy/organic decor and views of the river (so glad somewhere is taking advantage of this in Middletown!), but the interior is ridiculously LOUD even when half the room is empty. Something about the acoustics in there just makes everything echo. Felt like I had to yell for the friend across from me to hear me and even then she struggled. Outside this is not an issue but if it's hot as it has been, there's a big trade off. Hope they can do something to solve for this! Food: I honestly didn't go in with many expectations but it was pretty decent with generous portion sizes. Loved the zucchini chips, crab cakes, cold dip trio. Elote wrap was tasty but could have used more dressing/spice. Fries are crisp and hot every order but could use a little more of that peri peri seasoning. Service: Been here twice, the first time they said there was a wait for outdoor seating but I saw 3-4 tables empty outside the entire time I was dining so that was a bit frustrating. Not sure what to make of that. Had the same server both times and he was great with making accommodations and substitutions. Overall, I'll be back def some areas where they could step up a bit!

Tate's is phenomenal! Beautiful location and wonderful food. I have eaten here numerous times and always have the best experience. My husband and I recently just hosted our rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks party here as well and I cannot say enough good things. We worked with Brianna to host the event and she was wonderful. So accommodating and helpful. Our guests loved the space and the food. Whether you are looking to host an event or just grab a delicious lunch - Tate's is the place to be!

Not half bad. Still carrying a heavy census from opening day, I wasn't upset with my decisions. Clams casino and raw oysters to cover my seafood fix, and several delicious jalapeno-derived deliciousness provided the social lubricant needed when placed next to the exit to the porch. Two very picky little princesses approved of the kids faire, and my accompanients (that's my word now, I made it) picked off my plate while still denying their hunger.

I have tried to go here twice because I have heard it is good. But the staff at the door is inattentive, immature, and unwelcoming. Last two times I have left. Last night there were a couple of people waiting at the door but the people who were taking names were nowhere to be found. After a few minutes, I peeked in the dining them and saw them talking. Finally, one came back in to the host/ess station. I went up and said hello. [Dull stare mumbled hello in return] I then asked how long to wait for a table for four people for dinner. [Dull stare, hesitation] "You are number seven." Oh, I say, how long more or less would that be. [Hesitation, dull stare]. "I'm not allowed to say." PLEASE GET A REAL PERSON TO WORK THE DOOR. I'll try again and review the food far more fully when I have more space.
