What User likes about Shearwater Tavern:
I had a wonderful experience! The service was friendly, and the rollers were fantastic. I tried the French Woof but would suggest skipping the short ribs. The soup would have been much better without it. View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Shearwater Tavern:
the food was sufficient, but the service was simply abysmal. the bartender was so rude to several tables that it was unpleasant and the ambiente leaves much to wish. I can't recommend it. View all feedback.

Long wait even with reservation. Omelette was dry with little taste and fingerling potatoes was the same.

Very good food. Cocktails were very nice. Waitstaff was nice, but just OK due to understaffing. Ambiance OK. All in all food wins the day here.
