“ Stopped by for lunch at Taverna in Flagstaff. The place is very clean and offers a wide selection of scrumptious eats. My wife had the chicken pesto dish and I had the chicken parmesean. The service was good and the food as well. Recommended ”
“ Great food--fresh, generous portions, and well-seasoned. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and was very satisfied. The chicken was excellent--not small, dry cubes but juicy, well-marinated strips. The interior is clean, spacious, and adorned with beautiful, modern decor. The servers were friendly and brought our food out very quickly. Highly recommended! ”
“ Had a lovely time watching the snow fall over a delicious libation made by Mackenzie at the bar. ”
“ Stopped by for a quick lunch at this Mediterranean place. We enjoyed the two salads we shared for four people. Everything was fresh and tasty plus portions are big. Definitely a must try if you are by Flagstaff. Space is clean with an open kitchen. Bathroom is equally clean so that says a lot for them making sure all is clean. The staff were great too; friendly and helpful with answering questions about their menu. ”
“ Pretty taverna Nice priced menu Handsome staff Happy to be here for the first time!! Nice decor, geometric wood and brass accents cool!! ”
“ We needed a large table and this place fit the bill. I wasn't into the menu but everyone liked it. The stuffed dates were tasty, good and plentiful calamari. The salads and bowls were gigantic! Risotto and parm dishes were also good. Service was great. The bill (which I'd read about) was outrageous and prevented us from eating out in Flagstaff altogether - read the rules online about what's happening so you can plan your meal. ”
“ This Mediterranean spot is a little pricey and they charge an 8% surcharge on the bill. Our server said it was because the minimum wage law in Flagstaff forces higher wages (currently $18/hr) and it is passed on to the consumer. None of it goes to the servers. Despite this, the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We were greeted early and had a great server. We ordered: - Mezze - a selection of housemade spreads, including: tunisian harissa hummus, hummus, and tzatziki - served with grilled pita and fresh veggies - Greek Salad - mesclun greens, heirloom tomato, kalamata olives, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, pepperocinis, feta, greek dressing, Add Chicken, Hold the Feta (daughter said this salad was very delicious!) - Souvlaki - 2 skewers, one chicken and one beef, lemon roasted potatoes, greek salad, pita, tzatziki sauce (I looooved the lemon roasted potatoes. The meat was grilled well and tender inside. The salad is delicious and full of fresh veggies, olives, pepperocinis, and herbs - this was so filling and good!) - 3 Little Pigs Fired Pizza - house fennel sausage, pepperoni, calabrese, mozzarella There are plenty of booths and tables inside. There's a men's and women's restroom for customers. ”
