Larchmere Tavern

The place has a retro feel to it and u can grab a seat on a winter evening to look outside the window and feel warm comfy n cozy. Ambience, as I said is welcoming and that staff is friendly. We were hungry so we ordered one appetizer — Mussels and straight to the entrée — Pork osso bucco, Idaho rainbow trout. The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough for one person. We had to box out leftovers as we were not able to finish the meal. The only catch is that the place is bit on the expensive side. The bill for two people without alcohol was 50 $.

A hidden gem. Great back patio, beer selection and really surprisingly great food. Must try.

It’s a diner with classy American fare. The warm brie salad is fantastic. It was a spinach salad with grapes and mandarin oranges. The monterey club and walleye were both good. Their french fries are pretty perfect. Everyone at the table next to me got paprikash. I’ll have to try it. The apple crisp was decent. I’d go back just to have the warm brie salad with a side of fries. The sandwiches and salads are 10 – 15 $ and entrees are 15 – 20 $.

My fiancé and I checked this local establishment out for the first time (despite having lived in Larchmere for a year) last night, and are now so excited to come back. We were in the mood for margaritas, so we ordered them – off the menu – and enjoyed then immensely, and even the value was good once the bill came! We both got that evening’s special: a poached shrimp salad with egg, cucumber, Bibb lettuce, vinaigrette and aioli with fingerling potatoes. Again, not disappointed in the least! Followed up by a giant slice of the best carrot cake I’ve ever had, which is made in house by the owner. We had some special requests (sit outside with the dog, ordered drinks and sides not listed) and Larchmere Tavern took impeccable care of us. CC, our server, was phenomenal. We are now happy return customers to this iconic Larchmere establishment.

Consistently good food and reasonable prices. The chicken livers and bacon wrapped water chestnuts are «to die for”-literally. Splurge and eat healthy other times. Suggestion: share the chicken livers with someone else and share another selection. This will mitigate the guilt of eating the entire order of chicken livers yourself.
Service is good and groups are easily handled. Road construction going on now is a real pain, but hopefully will be ending shortly. It didn’t seem to affect today’s lunch business.

One our favorite neighborhood taverns. Friendly atmosphere, consistently good fare and a good value given the large portions. Three great menu items are the Asian meatballs as an appetizer, the warm Brie salad and the pork osso buco entrée.

Having the Grilled Chicken Greek Salad. It has an excellent Lemon Vinaigrette dressing, fresh lettuce and vegetables and very tasty chicken. The bread is excellent. The music is appealing and played at a good volume. A very friendly neighborhood feel here.

So I’ve been a few times. The girl working the bar at lunch generally knows whats going on. I have fallen in love with the buffalo chicken salad. Its great. Place reminds me of the old Carl’s Chop House in Detroit.

The bacon wrapped water chestnuts were perfect! I could eat 100 of them! The gumbo was also great. Love the vibe, very old school. Classic.

Stopped by for a beer during porch fest. Place was mostly deserted but the woman behind the bar was very put out by our request to sit on the patio and have a beer.
On the plus side the young waitress outside was extremely friendly and upbeat. She must be new. She hasn’t yet had her life force sapped by the older barmaid inside.

Liked it– despite the name, this is not a bar, but a quite nice restaurant. I had the banana peppers, which was listed as an appetizer, but I found to be fine as a meal along with a side salad. Another bonus was that it was quiet enough to talk.
Nice place, I recommend it.

Not a bad place for a low-​key dinner and drinks in a comfortable, casual environment. Wait staff was attentive and quick. Two things took a star away. First, I got about five fries with my sandwich. I thought it was the serving size, as another friend got the same amount, but then our third friend got about three times the fries we got. That was just kinda weird. Second, I checked the menu before going and picked what I wanted. The menu they gave me there was completely different. When I asked about it, the waiter casually acknowledged that they knew the online menu was TWO YEARS out of date! It can’t be too hard to take it down or update it!

Excellent — old world style pub and restaurant. The dark wood and comfortable atmosphere puts you in a relaxed and friendly state of mind. We went on Christmas Eve before heading over to the Botanical Garden. Great place to go during the holidays as it was very festive.
The food was also very good. I had the Larchmere Tavern Burger. Awesome! It came with a sweet n sour onion jam with creamy fontina cheese on a nice soft brioche role. Really delicious and interesting. My wife had the salmon salad and really enjoyed it. If you are hanging around university circle and looking for a great place to grab a cozy drink and some great food, I recommend Larchmere Tavern.
