So I was pretty bummed when Sportman's closed, I really enjoyed that place. I was curious to try its replacement The Tavern to see if it lived up to its predecessor. It's definitely a different concept than Sportman's, it's no longer a Wine Bar and is more of restaurant. The menu offered lots of options from charcuterie boards to lobster rolls. My husband and I weren't too hungry, so we chose the heirloom tomato salad and lamb burger to share, and I had the Shandy for my beverage. They split both orders for us which was nice. The salad had a fantastic pesto dressing and included perfectly ripe tomatoes and creamy goat cheese, it was very good. The lamb burger was fantastic too, it was cooked a perfect medium rare and was quite juicy and bursting with flavor as it was topped with feta and arugula. My Shandy was also good, it included wheat beer with lemon and basil infused syrup. Our server explained that their cocktails are different in that they don't use any liquor, just beer, wine or sake. Our meal at the Tavern was quite good and service was very welcoming and on point. My only complaint is that it's a little overpriced, the burger was $19 and the salad was $15. I guess that's to be expected in the Biltmore area, but it will deter me from coming here as often as I would like. That being said I would recommend trying out the Tavern.
