I recently visited 2520 in Clemmons and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots. From the moment I tried their bread and butter I was hooked. It's always a good sign when a restaurant nails the basics. Their menu offers an incredible variety of dishes at very affordable prices and everything I tried was delicious.I ordered the lobster nachos and mussels to start and both were absolutely fantastic. For my main course I had the bourbon steak and shrimp which was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Everyone at my table ordered something different such as domo arigato, seabass risotto, southwest mahi mahi, and the tavern burger and every plate was spot on. For dessert I indulged in the chocolate cake which I can't stop thinking about and is reason enough to go back.The service was top notch and our server was attentive, helpful, and friendly. The restaurant has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors and there is a spacious bar area as well. While parking was a bit crowded that evening it didn't take away from the experience and it's worth it for such a great meal.

(3.5 stars)Anticipating a visit to Old Nick's afterward, our group of four sought a dinner option in the Clemmons/Lewisville area. 2520 moved toward the front of the line by virtue of not being a chain though the intriguing menu certainly bolstered its case as well. On food alone, 2520 offers the makings of an excellent meal, but the overall experience is mixed.Though 2520 is spacious, the restaurant was full when we arrived on a Saturday night. No worries: the wait was hardly unbearable. 2520 slots in somewhere between sit-down casual and fine dining, and the atmosphere - low-key classy - reflects that.As a seafood fan, I was pleased to see how many fish and seafood options 2520 had available. The appetizers alone boast calamari, muscles, Thai shrimp, and lobster nachos, and the entrees throw several fish dishes into the mix. For those less aquatically inclined, there are steaks, sandwiches, pastas, risottos, burgers, and salads. The menu is appealingly well-rounded though, oddly enough, cranberries feature in an inordinate number of dishes.Our group started with a fried calamari, my wife opted for the peppery goat burger, and I tried the stuffed flounder. The calamari came not with the classic marinara but rather with roasted red pepper, cranberries (removable upon request), candied pecans, parmesan, and a citrus herb vinaigrette. This version was lighter than others yet still flavorful, and the calamari were cooked well. The flounder was preceded by a generously sized salad (I opted for Caesar) and was very good. It came with a rich scampi cream sauce, to which tomatoes added a bright and tangy note. Asparagus proved to be a welcome complement. The burger, though messy, featured a very tasty pepper jelly.That said, 2520's pricing and service are both up-and-down. The appetizer ($12) and the burger ($12.50 with a side included) were definitely reasonable though at close to $30, the stuffed flounder was a bit of a reach. Our server was polite, but we ended up waiting for close to a half hour just to get our checks. From what I've gathered, "slow" is the default speed rather than the product of heavy volume.Were it not for these issues, I would gladly return to 2520. The food was good, and the menu holds plenty of promise. However, if I do come back, it would have to be on a day when I have time to spare.

Experience here was varied between my husband and I. I ordered a delicious meal of risotto that was perfectly cooked! My husband on the other hand ordered flounder and he said it wasnt good. It looked dry and shriveled to me, though I didn't try it. It was also thin as well. The bread at the table was so good and the drinks were perfect. The ambiance was nice. Casual but a little nicer than a chain type restaurant. Service was really good! Our waitress was kind and attentive.

We ordered takeout from 2520 this week. The takeout process was quick and easy. The winners were my wife's risotto and our shared sweet potato fries. Both excellent and I'd return for either. My grilled veggies were good. The grilled chicken was a bit tough and dry. We live nearby, but maybe takeout time still affected that

We visited 2520 Tavern a couple of times now. I believe it is one of the best restaurants in the area. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion (like we did), or need a quick polished takeout food it is sure to be delicious! It is a great place for business or family dining. The service was excellent. We received complimentary dessert for the birthday girl and the Greek donuts were delicious! I tried the Tavern Burger with sweet potato fries and I highly recommend them both. Honestly, I've never tasted such yummy sweet potato fries!

This is one of the few upscale restaurants available for lunch in the Clemmons area, and it is has been family operated for over 40 years in this spot. The interior is attractive with low lightning, with soft music in the background, adding to the overall calm ambiance.I ordered the Chopped Steak with a side of Mashed Potatoes, with Onion Ribbons to begin the meal. And since the Tuesday drink special was $2.50 draft beers, I ordered a Fat Tire.The food was across the board, very good. The Onion Ribbons ($9) were well cooked, and taken to another level by the Spicy Ketchup and the house Horseradish Sauce. The chopped steak was at least 8 ounces, well seasoned and nicely cooked to medium. The grilled pepper, onions, and mushrooms were also nicely done, with a good amount of texture and freshness. The Mashed potatoes were great, full bodied and well seasoned.All in all this was a nice meal in most respects but falls short in the area of value. The chopped steak was $13.50, no bargain there when there are equal items at WestTown (8oz, 2 sides for $9), Pete's (8oz, 2,sides for $9.15)and 801 (8 oz, 2 sides, for $10), among others!The other down side of the value issue is that they charge a 3% "Operational" surcharge on ALL tickets, regardless of what was ordered or how the amount was paid!!! The surcharge is due to "rapid" increase in inflation, even though inflation has been in the decline for months now!Since I face the same inflation aspects, I do what I always do with such onerous, arbitrary charges - I reduce any tip (based on the pretax amount only) by the surcharge amount raised to the next whole dollar amount. I will not be bullied by such tactics, I have many other options available that are much more reasonably priced even BEFORE such a surcharge. Doubt there will be any need for a return visit!Ambiance - 4Food - 4Service - 4.5Value - 2.5

Locally-owned restaurant, serving up fresh quality , creative dishes. This was my first experience, and it was amazing, first and foremost you're greeted and seated by the host, its great for a big or small party, or a date night; great selection of your favorite Appetizers and full bar and great dinner plates. We had an awesome time and our waitress (Lynsay)was phenomenal! Definitely recommend and try them outWhat's pictured Drink feature:Pecan pie MartiniAppetizers:Royal Thai shrimpMussels Lobster nachosDuck wingsEntre/ Signature creations:Tavern burgerEast meets westChicken risottoBouron steak and shrimp.

Stopped in during restaurant week for the deep fried duck wings and They had so much flavor. I wish I'd been more hungry so I could try more. I'd love to go back and have a whole meal. This feels like a perfect date night spot.Edited - went back for a whole meal and it was a 12/10. Everything was delicious and check out that burger!

Service was great and atmosphere was nice. Food was good, but pretty standard. A lot of seafood options. I had the Seafood & Cheese which was tasty. The Thai shrimp and salad were average.
