Knox Taverne comes across as a cozy, rustic spot with a welcoming vibe and a menu that frequently delivers inventive dishes alongside strong drinks, with Brussels sprouts and the steak frites often highlighted as standout items and rotating pastas and desserts adding new appeal. The atmosphere and hospitality are repeatedly praised, making it a popular choice for date nights, casual dinners with friends, or celebrations, while the best nights feel polished with attentive service, good wine, and well executed plates. Some visits note occasional timing issues or inconsistency in mains, and a few dishes have been described as undercooked or not up to the usual standard, but the overall sentiment remains that Knox Taverne offers a high quality experience at a reasonable price. The bar program and decor contribute to a special vibe, with many calling it a hidden gem in the neighborhood, and the kitchen is praised for using fresh seasonal produce to create memorable flavors that invite sharing and return visits.

3.0

It was okay, went twice, 1 year apart, the food was good, the waiters & bartenders were a bit lax, both times I left with the impression that service wasn't the top priority.

Generally speaking, I don't even notice service which means they are doing a good job, I don't know what it is but both times I went someone I was with pointed out the same thing, something was off.

If it was once I wouldn't bother to leave a review, but twice is worth something.

We wandered into Knox looking for a simple meal & drink. The food was complex & beautifully presented. The bar staff Ben & Matt were delightful. We loved the vibe & will be back.

Reservation strongly recommended, they are often full.

Limited, but tasty menu.

For a bar, had some minor apprehensions. Disappointed in the size of the pint glasses, felt like a small beer glass for the price. Also limited in wine by the glass options.

Nice local spot. The food is amazing for a local bar. You have to try their beef tartare & they have the best Brussels sprouts I've ever tried. Also their oysters are amazing. Way cheaper than downtown places.

Nice ambiance, great food, I loved the pasta with oyster mushroom & creamy sauce that was so tasty & fresh. Brisket & fries is also nice but too salty for me. I would suggest to reserve your spot in advance if you want to seat on a standard seat, we didn't , it was a Thursday evening & we had to seat on the bar, as several table was reserved, other than that highly recommended.

Je donne un bon 4 étoiles sur 5 pour ce resto-bar. Belle petite terrasse, excellent service, les frites & la focaccia étaient très bonnes, le plat principal aurait pu être un peu plus élaboré vu les prix, mais très bon aussi. L'ambiance était décontractée. À essayer!

Nice terrasse on a warm summer night. Excellent cocktail on my part, but less so for my friends. Food was definitely not up to par. Brisket was barely edible & salad was drenched in an overly acidic vinaigrette. Gnocchi's texture was completely off & almost tasteless. Over 200$ for 2 people. We were very disappointed as food used to be excellent! Would come back for cocktail & vibe.
