Reviews
This is a well-done ship-themed restaurant that's been around since 1934. It's a great place to get a drink or meet with friends, but the food is average and overpriced. Some unusual dishes, like the Cordon-Blue pasta, have a mustard flavor, so your mileage may vary. The restaurant itself has the kind of touches you would expect from 1934 when things were made to last. I'd visit again for the bar and the great atmosphere, but skip a full meal.

We were happy to get a reservation for five at the last minute. Our food was good, but when a baked potato doesn’t mash with a fork, it’s just not baked! The prime rib was good and our server was good also. It was a bit noisy but a full restaurant is noisy. We had a good time.

No wreckage here. This was a fun little place we randomly came across. It’s attached to a hotel. But completely independent on its own. The whole restaurant is almost like the inside of a ship. Service was great. Everybody was kind. Really good ambience inside of the place. Not over packed. Food is really good and delivered, looking great also. The place seems to have more of a historical feel to it. Waiter told us they are known for the prime rib. We did not have that. Would go back to try the prime rib.

Ship Tavern is a staple dive bar and hotel bar. I love it. It’s has a casual, indie vibe, and the food is great. I got the onion soup, which was small, but great. And a spicy mango cocktail. So much style here!
