Probably won't return we had bonus gift certificates that expired 3/9. Very strange expiration date and Manager would not honor. Extremely disappointed and will not return food fair at best extremely over priced but that denial just didn't sit well with me. Would rather give my business to others that appreciate loyalty.

The entire experience at the Tavern was awful. I ordered chowder to be served before meal (the waiter acknowledged) & fish & chips. Needless to say it was all delivered together. I told this to person that delivered and they just shrugged and left everything. I told the server when he finally returned and he acted like there was no issue. He just said oh and left.I ended up eating cold Fish & Chips. My wife ordered a stir fry dish that was described as multiple vegetables etc. It came and was 90% noodles. Very few veggies. Again we told server and he made excuses but finally sent over a manager that offered my wife a substitute dish. This entire experience was dreadful

We wanted to show our friends another great place to go for a great view, food and service. We had a table by the window, the outline of Boston behind me. Our server was Sara as we requested her because of another incredible visit a few weeks ago. She gave us time as they were running late and did it with a smile. Her presence was noticed by them as she is always so happy, professional and made lunch special. My wife had the Chicken Pot Pie and she said it reminded her of her Grandmother. Our friends had a fish dish and they enjoyed it. I had the Shrimp and Scallop Pasta. It was delicious, absolutely delicious. We had cannoli for dessert and they were delicious as well. We will be back and Sara mentioned the outside deck would be a great spot in the Spring, Summer and Fall.

Held a business lunch yesterday and it was terrific. Food was great as usual and our waitress was very attentive. It was fairly busy but the noise wasn't an issue at all and we were able to converse without any interference. Granite Links remains one of my favorite places to dine.

It is a great place for date night, celebrating special events or just the place to enjoy dinner. Food is so delicious, service always great, and atmosphere is unbeatable. It is on higher price compared to other restaurants but still worth it !

Waiter was fantastic, drinks were delicious! Two from our party got the breakfast pizza which came out very well done, but were quickly removed from the bill. Ambiance is nice with great views, so we will be back.

Have been here a few times. Our first trip was a rocky one. Food was great, but the service was abhorrent. Our dinner experience tonight was exemplary. Tom was our server. Very attentive and very outgoing. Our beverages were quick to arrive...our soup appetizers were excellent. I ordered the surf and turf. My husband ordered the mushroom ravioli with scallops. Both dishes were beautifully prepared and quite delicious. Both entrees appeared on the “specials” menu. Glad we didn't throw this place off our list. Every server can have a bad night. Ours did not. The server who took care of us on our first visit still works there...

The food was delicious our entire party of four thoroughly enjoyed each of their meals. In addition, the young woman that waited on us was fabulous. She had a nice sense of humor, kind of rolled with our fun table, and was very attentive and lovely.
Went for lunch during the week in January. As expected, it is an older crowd and some business people. Nice views of Boston (worth the trip on a clear day). I suspect it is more lively during the summer. They have an out door tent. Great function space upstairs, if you are looking for a venue with a view. I would suggest dropping off anyone in your party that has mobility issues. The parking lot is big, so even if you park in the closet spot, its still a walk down an incline to get to the door.

Great time as always at Granite Links. Only negative was that the entrees came out really fast. We were not even halfway finished with the appetizers when they arrived, making space very limited on the table.
Seated promptly, but no one came to introduce themselves as our server. Took over 10 minutes and that was after waving someone to just ask who is our server. The person we waved down said oh I think it's supposed to be me and you would think she would step up her service, but it didn't. We waited for over 15 minutes to pay for our bill as she kept walking me our area and then move in another direction vs. passing our table. My husband finally asked one of the other employees if they could give it to our waitress. Had this been my first time I would've not returned. We try to do brunch whenever we are in town visiting family so we come once or twice a year.

We appreciated the large variety of the menu selections, the friendliness of our waiter, and the willingness of the hostess to check when I called to see if we could come 1/2 hour prior to the reservation I had made.

We celebrated my sister's 85th birthday at the Tavern, and our lunch was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful view. The food was delicious, and our server was very pleasant and considerate. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon!
