    My most favorite meal when I was in London. Butternut Squash Lasagna. I dream of eating it again. Divine. Going back to London for Christmas and I’m going to hopefully be able to order it again ❤️❤️

    I grew up coming here with my family and a few years back, we hosted a 50th anniversary party for my parents. The attention to detail, care, and friendly attitude of the owners and all the staff made a special day even more special. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great. Classy but not pretentious. I don't live in town anymore but I love going back there when I'm home! Highly recommend for date night, special event, or just a regular old meal.

    My husband and I are super picky and The Sun Tavern never disappoints! The oysters are always super fresh and shucked when ordered. The meat is always cooked perfectly to temperature... and the Brussels Sprouts... are...to die for! We had Stephanie as our server last time and she was always there when we needed her and made great suggestions... you can tell she cares about her guests! We will keep coming back for the delicious food, great ambience, and of course the fabulous service!!!

    My favorite restaurant in the area, never disappoints.There’s a pretty good variety of dishes to choose from, from sophisticated entrees, to burgers and fish and chips.Meals are prepared at the moment, with good quality and fresh ingredients, which allows modifications and special requests.Even though vegetarian entrees aren’t on the menu, (but soups and sides are!) the chef will create a special dish for you if requested. The one in the picture was tonight’s dinner: a mix of grains, veggies, and nuts, accompanied by carrots cream.

    The oyster and beer night was so much fun! Ten of us went to celebrate the patriach's bday! Sun Tavern had an ice filled boat with Island Creek oysters and two very busy shuckers! Great job guys! Many wonderful choices of Laguntas beer served in doggy mason jars we got to take home. House wine was very good. Po boy sandwiches and oyster fritters and many other dishes. It was a success!

The Sun Tavern is an upscale casual fine dining restaurant located just south of Boston in a quaint farmhouse dating back to pre-revolutionary days.

On a country road in the seaside community of Duxbury, The Sun Tavern’s warm inviting environment is a reminder of days gone by, with a fireplace sitting area to warm your soul and five separate dining areas to enjoy the company of others.
