Our group went to dinner at Sawgrass Tavern recently and we all loved it! We started with apps, we ordered the pretzel with cheese, spinach dip and Scottish eggs. It was everyone’s first time trying the Scottish eggs and our entire group loved them! For an entree I tried the Tavern Stew and it was amazing. Not super heavy but filling and super flavorful- I loved it! For dessert we tried the cobbler and it was also amazing! Loved it- not too sweet and the ice cream on top was perfect! We will keep Sawgrass Tavern in mind for future meals! Highly recommend
We love the changes FMK made at Sawgrass. The new Sawgrass Tavern has good food and the atmosphere is wonderful. The live entertainment in the market is a bonus. Amanda provided awesome service!
Had a delightful meal and evening at Sawgrass Tavern. We split the Scotch Egg appetizer and then had Grilled Scottish Salmon and Shepherd's pie. Tried the Smoked Irish Old Fashioned and it was really delicious. Our server Christina E and the manager Evan, were really great and personable. Thanks for a great night!
Conor was a wonderful server! Top notch! We both had fish dishes that were great. The Lemon Parmesan Haddock and the Fish N Chips were both delicious! Will be back for certain.
Was able to attend the grand opening of Sawgrass Tavern yesterday and glad I did, after the opening ceremony, I was able to get a seat at the bar with my friend and chatted with a few of the workers. Everyone behind the bar was very happy and chatty .....although I didn’t order any food, the food that I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and looking forward to seeing it in front of me on my next visit. It makes a difference when you feel that the employees want to be there, I want to give a shout out to the folks that I interacted with like one of the managers Evan, he was very informative about the new restaurant and I enjoyed our conversation, also a recognition of a few of the bartenders that helped us .... Kristen treated us as a patients under her care, and Dallas who you can tell immediately of her experience behind the bar, Jordan is full of good knowledge and Landon brings the energy up! These are the ones that we personally met, many other workers that we didn’t interact with because they were very busy keeping up with the crowd. Looking forward to being a regular guest. Keep up the good work guys!!
It’s was just a pleasant time with good food. Charlie was my server and made sure me and my dog had everything we needed. Totally recommend
Great atmosphere, overlooks the Sawgrass grove and stage. Awesome staff and meal options! Food is delicious and generous portions. Will be back!
Loved our meals. Great service. Went back to back days we enjoyed it so much. Great comfort food. Great happy hour. And wine on tap! My favorite items were the Tavern stew and Scottish Egg.
