We love the Sun Tavern!! It's not cheap, but exquisite dishes every time. The menu changes seasonally, they use their own garden, and there's something for everyone! Steak, scallops, other seafood, burgers, delicious apps, and heavenly desserts!! Great wines and dynamite cocktails. Real food, where people who want to avoid additives or things like wheat can order nearly anything on the menu. Historic old house in Duxbury, with several different rooms/themes to fit your needs. Super cool bar area, great for meeting friends for a drink and dinner, kids are fine there too. Small dining room right in front of the kitchen action, very cool and it feels exclusive. Old bedrooms are now cozy dining areas.

Imagine our delight to have Sasha as our waitress for my birthday dinner! We trust her descriptions of the food and wines, and she did not disappoint. Her service is always professional with a side of humor. We love the food here and often try the specials, if Sasha recommends them. We are thrilled that our children give us gift cards here. The horseradish potatoe pancake could be a starter in the winter, it's so good. We shall be back soon and hope to see Sasha again.

We have lived in Duxbury for 28 years lots of food options but I always look forward to having dinner here. My kids came here as children and now are young adults, when visiting in town this is there choice

This place consistently has good food. Most recently we ordered the poutine and summer ravioli appetizers and they were both excellent. The service is good but it seemed like there were trying to rush us out. Said we wanted a few minutes to look at the menu after the appetizer came and didn't get all that long. They open at 5pm and you need a reservation. They are pretty much always booked. We got a 5pm reservation and they literally do not open the door until 5pm. Not 4:59, 5pm. So basically everyone with a 5pm reservation was waiting in line at the door to get seated. Seems like they could make this process more efficient since they were rushing us out.

I see many of you ordered the meatloaf as did I. A tasty, warm dish of comfort food. Also enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Chowder was average for the great, long-standing south shore dining standard that it is. Always a good choice.

4 of us enjoyed dinner on a Wednesday evening at 5:30, shortly after they opened. It was a wonderful experience. By the time we left, just after 7pm, it looked like all the tables were taken so I'd recommend calling to get a reservation. FOOD: Excellent! Caesar salad had fresh lettuce and tasty dressing. The salmon was flaky, beautifully presented and generous portion. The lamb shank was flavorful and perfectly prepared. SERVICE: Kasey was fantastic. She was knowledgeable of the menu, pleasant and friendly. Our waters and drinks were refreshed and she was attentive throughout the meal. We split the salad, and it came out in 2 split plates, no up charge, classy. BAR: Cosmo was made well, and I appreciate there are no garnishments which tend to get in the way. Simply made, not too sweet, filled to the top. $11, reasonably priced. The house Chardonnay, Oxford, was $8, and a typical pour. Montepulciano is $13 a glass. ATMOSPHERE: Super warm Lighting, many rooms so you feel like your area is semi private. Every employee we encountered was friendly and it seemed like the team works well together. The sound level was minimal, so it is easy to have conversations without shouting. Fun side note: Apparently the ghost of the previous owner, Lysander, frequents the Tavern. As accessing the web site through certain browsers results in a security warning, I posted the menus in the photos so you can get an idea of the offerings. I was not able to find an online source to book a reservation, however, my call was returned in a reasonable timeframe.
