South Tavern

Ever since "South Tavern " took over this location I have to say it has been a great place for a number of my family members to frequent. We especially visit at least 3 out of 4 Wednesday Pizza Nights. I love their pizzas and salads. However, for the first time I came to South Tavern alone .. I brought my service dog. They actually demanded to see all paperwork. By law, this isn't allowed, but I have nothing to hide. My dog was extremely well behaved and many customers wanted to interact with him. I am not to be harassed for my disability by law. The owner instructed the bartender to make me the weakest vodka/cranberry I have ever had the displeasure of drinking and I was told that I could not be served a second drink. I asked for one of their Wednesday pizza specials and was told I had to pay full price because I was not permitted to eat it on premises. This all because the owner Tom feared I would cause trouble due to my disability. My service dog caused no interuption whatsoever .. I eventually got the pizza for the special price as long as I left the premises. I have never been so embarassed by this establishment. One of the few places I thought I was comfortable in .. Now I am not. If you have a disability be prepared to be shut off and quickly pushed to leave.

Well this is one of just a few places right in our little So. Glastonbury center, and I wish I could say I love it.  It would seem to be a great addition - classic Amercian casual, lots of tvs with whatever game you want to watch, a fireplace to keep you warm in the winter and lots of outdoor seating for the nicer weather.  I WANT to love it.  Sadly, the food is salty and mushy most of the time, the interior could use a major scrubbing and/or update, and most importantly, there is quite a bit of sketchy activity going on there of late.  Between the amped of up police presence and the suspicious customers hanging out in the one-person bathroom, I won't be going back until I hear about some big changes.  I would've given it three stars except for that last tidbit, which really pushed it down to a one.  It's really too bad because it could be great.  No thanks.

I went here to lunch today with some family.
Lunch was decent- pretty large portions, food was average.  
Nothing special, but not gross.
The waitress was alright, kept our glasses full.  
Would probably choose another resteraunt over this one.
