We started with the calamari, which was great. I got the grilled fig salad. It was fine. It had all things I like but for some reason it didn't really come together for me. My husband got the blackened swordfish over spinach risotto which was very good. Our server was fantastic! Very attentive with good recommendations. We sat in the bar. A band was warming up as we ate. Seems like a cool, popular place!

I've had two great experiences here now, including tonight (fresh on my mind). This is most definitely a local pub for Danvers people...so they don't need this review. For me, the food is an everything. I can work through and around "staff". That being said, the Berry is fully staffed and there are plenty of friendly helpful staff members!The Tavern is in a downtown suburb, but there is plenty of free parking all around. Lot across the street. My understanding is they have expanded in recent years and now have two full bars and two large dining rooms, as well as a large outside dining area. I arrived around 5 on a Thursday and the place was already filling up and becoming lively. There were people of all ages from very small children, to couples, to elderly, to locals at the bar. By 6 o'clock when me and my friend ordered food from the bar, every table was filled and some were large round tables for 8 or more people. Now to the food. First time there I got two things off the appetizer menu. French onion soup and lamp lollipops. The lamb was perfect and came with a mint jelly sauce if you like that. (I don't). The French onion soup was ok. Filling. But not the best I've ever had. They could work on that. One friend got an eggplant parm appetizer and loved it. (It's his favorite dish). Next time will get the dinner version...other friends are not hard to please (if you know what I mean) and they loved the steak tips. Tonight, I ordered off the specials menu. It was one of the more expensive dishes, but well worth it! Shrimp and Scallop Rotini in a red vodka sauce. Perfect. They obviously have chefs back there working their craft, not just cooks. This might have been one of the best Italian dishes I've ever had (my mouth is watering right now while I write this review). And I have Italian heritage. Plenty of large scallops and shrimp perfectly textured, perfectly cooked. Excellent Al dente rotini. Sauce was amazing with just a small amount of spice, enough to feel a slight sweat. With aded texture with onions maybe capers and other spices. I felt like I was eating some clams and mussels in there but there wasn't. That might make the dish more expensive. But would be incredible. All about the food. 5 plus stars for the food.!I like beer and wine. Plenty of options there. Some of my friends like mixed fancy cocktails and they loved them. Plenty were being made and the bartenders seemed plenty experienced. Well if you're in the area, you've got an amazing local tavern with "chef" quality food to try. Have Fun!!

Beer list is fine. They had Fiddlehead, which is a very decent IPA. I wish they had a generally better list. My food was very mediocre. I had a "grilled fig and prosciutto salad" but there were only dehydrated figs and sliced prosciutto. Not fresh figs and nothing grilled. The dressing tasted like nothing. It was rather boring and not at all as advertised. My guest had a burger and fries and he said it was pretty good. Service was good. If. It for him liking his burger, I'd give 1-2 stars for my salad.

Out running errands, we needed a bit to eat to keep the energy going. We stopped at this tavern as it was less than a block from the butchery we needed to run to. Sat at the bar, Emma, the bartender, was great and swift with getting us water and a drink order going. Hubs had the Sam Summer; the lemon wedge was a nice twist, he said. I got the berry Cosmo, which is strong but really tasty. It came with a lil carafe to top off my drink when ready.For an app, we shared the Philly steak and cheese egg rolls. hubby said it took him back to childhood. They were very tasty, not greasy. I did need to add a hit of salt, though. Otherwise, def a repeat order next time. Since it was lunchtime, we decided to split a pasta dish. We opted for the scallop and shrimp dish; I can't remember the sauce name, and it's not on the online menu lol... But it was a light wine and garlic sauce that perfectly coated the pasta. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the asparagus in the dish was my favorite of the whole dish, blanched to perfection! We loved the vibe here.We will be back!

My wife and I have been going to this place occasionally since it's open and never really had any issues with the food but we decided to get two large pizzas for takeout which we were told are only available as takeout and not a dine inSo as usual, we always order pizza a little more cooked than normal so we said, could you make them a little crispyWhen we got them home, which is literally a three minute drive, we open the box anxiously expecting what we ordered and we got the most undercooked pizzas I have ever seen in my entire life The dough was very bland, and very floppy I wanted to bring them back, but we were so hungry. We just ended up cooking it up and eating it Come on Berry Tavern you are better than this

Delicious dinner that accommodated both gluten free (me) and dairy free (my wife) choices. The server was awesome. Perfect local place to get a great meal.

I can't even fathom how this restaurant puts out the food that they have. I usually don't complain about the quality but in this case I have to. It's shameful what goes on the plates here. I hope they can get their act together.

Had a burger there. Was like eating cardboard. Needless to say, I won't be back to try something else! One star is too high rating.

My wife and I love the Berry Tavern. I always get the blackened swordfish and it's fantastic. My wife gets the saltimbocca and loves it. We've also had the wings and they're awesome. We've had the pleasure of meeting the couple who own the restaurant and my biggest compliment is they care.

Went here and got the chicken parm. Food was amazing, but the bread for the table wasn't too great. The service wasn't bad, but it was a bit busy so food took a while. Was pretty loud in there other than that it was good. Would go again
