Visiting the area. Found this tavern. Sat at the bar. They said they just changed the menu for the season. We tried the bacon-wrapped horseradish-stuffed shrimp and the roasted beet & port belly salad and seared scallops sliders. It was so good that we came in the next day to try the pulled pork egg rolls and the chili with cornbread! Very tasty menu and great happy hour pricing and drinks. If I lived in this area this would be my hands down choice restaurant.

There were plenty of choices here. The menu is varied in it's offerings. Pasta, fish, burgers or steaks. Everything we ordered was prepared nicely and was tasty. The Buttermilk fried chicken could have had a little more seasoning. There was one problem which the staff handled, as they should, and removed it from the bill. There is a bar and wine by the glass.

There are not a lot of restaurants in the area. We were going to eat lunch at another establishment but it was closed. We drove into Jeff and saw Tavern on Main. Thought we might try it. I now live in SC and was having lunch with 2 of my classmates from high school (1960's). None of us had been here before. What a great surprise!

There is a very well appointed dining room, however we did ask to change tables as the air would have been blowing down on our necks. We were moved to the table in the front window. Much better. Also, much easier to talk over old times as we were away from the crowds in the dining room. We talked with the bartender and he was very nice.

While service was a bit slow in bringing our drinks and taking our orders, for us it was great to have time to just visit.

The menu had many more selections than I thought it would have. There were several seafood starters as well as wings, and hummus. There were sandwiches/ burgers that sounded really good, including a veggie burger. Salads included standard house as well as "shaved pear and frisee, "roasted beets & pork belly," and "smoked duck." These are not salads one would normally see in this area. Several items were marked as "gluten free."

We all thought quiche and a salad sounded. We had a choice and all were flavorful,and done perfectly. I had never had a quiche before that was so light and airy and tall. All agreed theirs was delicious. The house salad and dressings were savory, delicious, and there was plenty.

My old classmates who still live in the area agreed they would love to come back with their husbands. If I visit again, I'll certainly put Tavern on Main at the top of the list for a meal again.

I have been here a few times. Great menu offering full dinners, sandwiches, salads and small plates. The chicken corn chowder is always consistent, chock full of chicken and served hot, not luke warm as in many restaurants. Too bad they ran out of the short rib sliders, one of my favorites. The Lobster Mac and cheese is another favorite. The stuffed mushrooms need some more flavor. The dessers are brought out on a display tray....you will probably order one. The staff are friendly and offer great service.

Touring around the Catskills we stopped her for brunch. The place is very nicely appointed and there were not a lot a patrons in the dining room. We sat for quite a while before being asked for our beverage preference and then waited another while for them to be served. We ordered a medium rare hamburger which came out very well done, chicken florantine crepes that were way to saucy with very little spinach and chicken, corned beef hash served on a very large white plate with an egg plopped on top (wish I had taken a picture, it was dwarfed on the plate) and finally a chicken caesar salad that was marginal. The presentation on all four entrees was poor and unappealing. We also waited almost 40 minutes to get this food. The service was friendly but really slow. All of the tables around us received a bread basket which we did not get. Possibly a charge item?
