One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Wayne ever since I was younger!
Don't know what people are talking about when they are saying too many items on the menu, if you know what you are looking for then it isn't that massive! You're at a Hall's Restaurant, get the prime rib! Duh!
Their appetizers are great! We got the fried cheese filled ravioli and the stuffed mushrooms last time we were there and they were fantastic!
This restaurant is great for all ages! It is great with bigger family get togethers!
I agree with the other views, the decour is geered towards an older crowd. Â The food I found enjoyable though. I went with a family member when visiting fort wayne. Â I enjoyed the sinful pasta, which had an alfredo creme sauce mixed with some seafood. Decent amount of pasta. I had completed a run so it wasn't so much that I couldn't finish it. Â
We were originally seated at a booth by the kitchen area, which proved to be loud. There were waitresses talking right behind us. A few minutes in, we relocated to another booth which did not have the same problem. Â Not a bad experience. Were seated immediately around 5ish on a saturday night.
We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in a larger back room. Â We had a wonderful experience both with booking the room and the day of. Â They explained the expectations clearly and executed perfectly.
We were able to select four entree's to select from. Â We opted for a beef, chicken, pork and fish meal. Â Each came with salad (rather large) and baked potato. Â The fish was not my favorite but I did try some of the beef dish which was very good. Â Our group of 40 were rather pleased with their meals.
The service was also good and everyone got their food at about the same time. Â It was nice of them to feed the kids first as they were getting restless. Â They also gave the kids pages of coloring books and crayons to keep them pre-occupied.
Overall, really pleased.
The food is good. Â The service is adequate. Â The menu is a little overpriced, while covering the basics in a maybe too fancy way. Â The decor is stodgy and suffocating. Â I don't mean this in a rude way, but it seems like the restaurant caters to a "more mature" crowd. Â The bar is comfortable though, and it is usually where I will choose to sit when I visit.
I greatly enjoy the Jambalaya and the Reuben (usually not together). Â The restaurant used to offer a Jalapeno tartar sauce that was amazing, but I'm not sure if it is still available.
It's a good place to eat in Fort Wayne, but honestly, there are better options. Â I will certainly go back, though.
The series of incidents here were so frustrating and annoying that it didn't matter how good the food was because everything else was such a nuisance.
Brian ordered a frozen virgin margarita, and THREE times, the waitress brought a strawberry daiquiri. ??? He finally said never mind on the cocktail. For dinner, Brian ordered the brisket sandwich and the waitress brought him the brisket platter. He was totally fed up by this point. She offered to take it back, but he said he would be fine if she just brought the texas toast that the brisket sandwich would have been served on. The waitress came back with one piece of bread.
Brian finally asked to see a manager who explained that the sandwich is open faced and would have been served with just one piece of bread. She did get him a second piece of texas toast, and she took his meal off the bill.
I think everyone else's food was ok, but the annoyances of the situation with all the errors made the meal totally unenjoyable.
Here on a early Sunday afternoon intending to meet my girl friends parents to eat. The restaurant was not "very"? Busy but the hostess decided to place us in a very crowded banquet like room, where about 15 other people were seated right after us. Since we were waiting for her parents, we ordered coffee. For some reason, the staff completely ignored us after getting our drinks. We intended to order an appetizer while waiting but no one came back to our table, and no one could be reached as they walked by. We also saw staff and hostess "hanging around" and chitchatting and about halfway fighting with each other just a few feet from our table. It got so bad, we figured up the cost of the coffees and handed it to the waitress, we never got a chance to ask for a bill. We walked out, I've never had worse service. What a shame, I thought Don Hall's means a certain level of service.
Review Source:Visiting FW on business, I asked the hotel staff for a recommendation on a locally owned restaurant. It turns out that Tavern at Coventry isn't technically locally owned, there are sister restaurants throughout the state, but it's better than a chain. Also, the Hilton Garden Inn has 10% discounts for eating there, I assume the other local hotels have the same offer.
Sitting at the bar, my service wasn't the greatest. As I was sitting down, I heard the bartender tell a server, "I'm"m so over tonight." -Not the best thing for a bar patron to hear. She lived down to her own expectations.
Regarding the food, it was fine, but not great. I began with a Greek salad. It was a bit strange, especially the pineapple wedge on top. It also had chopped beets. I didn't eat the pineapple and the beets were fine, but they seemed out of place on a Greek salad. For dinner, I had the rib eye with a baked potato and steamed broccoli. The steak was absolutely covered in melted butter, I'd recommend leaving it off. Unfortunately, the steak cut wasn't thick, so it wasn't all that moist. (Which may be the reason for the copious amount of butter) The baked potato was fine, if a bit small. The broccoli was tasty, not overcooked.
To summarize, this was a fair priced restaurant with average food. I'm not sure I'd go back anytime soon. However, they did have a really good selection of single malt scotch at very good prices. So maybe stick to a liquid dinner.
Stopped by for Sunday lunch with a friend. Â Neither of us had been here before even though we grew up hearing about Don Hall's restaurants. Â Food rundown:
I had the "Mile High Brisket" sandwich. Â It was the first one listed, in the middle, under the specialty sandwiches...so I wanted to try it assuming it is their most-recommended. Â However, if this is their best sandwich, I don't want to try the rest.
The first thing I noticed was, that it IS quite piled high.......just not with brisket. Â On the thick-cut garlic toast, was a little bit of fatty hickory brisket, and on top was slathered an inordinate amount of onions and disgusting cheese. Â I removed all the oily cheddar cheese, not wanting to try a single bite. Â It was so-so, but all I could taste was my onion sandwich, and the garlic from the toast. Â I think the garlic toast was the best part, but all the grease from the rest of the "toppings" made it soggy. Â Standard tasting fries, meh. Hellooo atherosclerosis! Â
My friend's steak salad looked delicious, and she really liked it. Â (Looks like I'll be ordering that next time, if there is one)
Dessert: chocolate sundaes. Â Hard to mess this up, came with all the standard toppings.
The best part about this place....is the prices. Â Lunch was ~$10, with very good service. Â Decor-wise, it is very old-school [or just old], with a fireplace, and rustic walls. Â Hopefully the other Don Hall's places are better or maybe I ordered the wrong items.
Food (5/10)
Decor (3/5)
Service (4/5)
Value (5/5)
A group of seven of us had a radically different experience than the other reviewer to say the least.
First, the service, ambience and appetizers (many!) were excellent. Â A really nice place to hang out and eat. Â BUT, most of us ordered some derivation of red meat and left quite disappointed ... "average" would be a compliment ... and how do you botch a steak or prime rib?
I generously give this place three stars on the apps and the potential.
