Hands down our favorite restaurant. Being humble folk, we don’t go out often but when we want to do something special then the Sun is the place!

Costume Night at the Sun!

Excellent chef-run restaurant. Open kitchen area is a good and interesting place to eat and watch final meal prep. Well-prepared steak and must-have seafood specials. Haddock we had this evening was excellent and the ‘beluga lentils’ were an interesting and delicious addition.

Relatively small but curated and well executed menu
Stephen Glorioso3/29/2023

First time eating at this restaurant. We LOVED it! Our server Barbara was fantastic. You could tell she was a veteran at this. Friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. We split a ceaser salad which was very good. We both had the salmon which was also very good. Wine pour was generous and bread served even if you didn't ask for it. Was my wife's birthday and she was given a free desert. The decor was very rustic colonial, tavern style and the tavern area was very cozy and warm. This is a very unique place to eat and we will definitely go back for more. Reminds me of the Wayside Inn in Sudbury.
Raychael Chavez Coombes2/28/2023

You will seriously not find a better place to eat. The food menu is small but everyone finds something and the food is beyond amazing. The atmosphere was great too. Very old colonial. The place was romantic and intimate. They didn't rush us out either. You definitely need reservations.

Sasha is the definition of good service
Matthew Person12/29/2022

If you like grabbing dinner and drinks in historic places and or old school establishments, this place is for you. Good bar and cool place to watch a game. Somewhat limited menu but food is quality. Crowded spaces though and Tall people should duck (low ceilings!)

Chris Chamberlain11/11/2021

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!!!

Lara's Cuisine5/15/2019

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.
Penny Lightner5/15/2019
