Ye Olde Spring Valley Tavern

I have never been to this place before the new owners. The menu is affordable for lunch. I am really pleased with our visit. We brought a party of 7 and sat outdoors under the patio in summer. It was cool and the atmosphere was relaxing. The food was really good. The Reuben sandwich is a must have! Fish and chips were pretty good. The burger was really juicy and lean. I prefer fatty burgers, however the flavor with this burger was really good, making me rethink my preference. The medium cook on the burger was perfect! The service was really good. I will be a regular here. What a cool place in the middle of nowhere!

Extremely disappointed in our dinner last night. For a 6pm reservation, food arrived around 7:45 with incorrect orders and missing food. While I understand the wait staff was short staffed, the numerous hostess running around didn’t even bother to clean old plates or refill our drinks. While I generally love the food, we will not be back here for a while.

Very nice atmosphere, the tavern itself is very old (1800s according to the blurb in the menu) and full of charm. The wait staff is very pleasant and helpful.
It’s too cold right now, but from our seat near the window we could see a large nicely appointed outdoor seating area with a pond and fountain we want to try this coming summer.
The dining and bar rooms are small and low ceilinged and close together so that the bar portions noise overpowered our conversation in the dining room on occasion. But not to the point that it detracted from our experience.
My wife ordered the shrimp scampi, it was a large portion spritzed with lemon and came with well seasoned garlic bread, she loved it!
I had the veal oscar, I wasn’t as enthusiastic about that though.
The veal, crab and asparagus itself was fine but the whole plate was completely drenched in oil to the point where it over powered the rest of the sides on my dish.
I do plan on returning and trying their tavern menu for lunch soon.
Overall a nice place for dinner and catching up with friends.
I would recommend trying it out if you want some local area flavor.

The best place to eat in the Lehigh Valley! Definitely a hidden gem– great food locally sourced, wide range of fantastic beer and drink specials, and awesome, attentive staff. Our favorite place to go!

Great food and the place is really clean and the staff is very nice. After lunch we went out back near the ponds and our family shared a bottle of wine. Would definitely come back again.

This historic tavern
is real jewel of the Lehigh Valley. The new owners have brought it back to life after years of abandonment. Great beer selection and varied menu. Nice bar and dining area, however the rear draw is the outside spring feed ponds and a screened pavilion.
A must try local adventure.

This was one of my «younger years» favorite place to go. My wife and I decided to check it out since moving back into the area. The bar area is still a nice place to go, nice bar menu. Glad they kept the brass plaques for the old timer regulars that passed away. The dining area is lack luster and service wasn’t that great. Young girl waitress that seemed uninterested in your needs. Food was acceptable but not fine dining by any stretch. I’m sure I will continue to go on a rare occasion with friends to the bar. Probably skip dinner with the family though.

A group of 7 of us went on Saturday to try a different kind of bar. We almost never all agree on a bar we like but we all loved it. It is the perfect place to relax and chat with friends over a few drinks. There was plenty of seating at the bar and the bartenders were amazing. We were definitely the youngest ones there, since we are all 21/​22, but we never felt out of place. The drinks were delicious and the prices were fair. The nachos and wings were enjoyed by all. The owners were so welcoming to us. I can’t say enough good things, I’ll definitely be back.

I recently went for a quick lunch with a friend and we were very disappointed.
We stood at the door where one staff member who looked quite bored asked us if we’d like a seat. He then told us to wait, and eventually another employee came out to seat us. Besides the bar, we were the only customers. We sat down inside, but overlooking the pond.
As we were waiting for our order to be taken, we listened to a loud conversation between the staff. It was clear that they weren’t used to customers being present. The décor was an attempt at a fine dining restaurant, but it had the feel of a diner.
When the waiter came we decided to share a margarita pizza. We received frozen boxed pizza. The crust was hard like it had been microwaved. The bottom was etched as frozen pizza is. The cheese was very thin and… It was just an $ 8 frozen pizza…
We just decided to leave, and we probably won’t be back.
I am very disappointed.

Recently went there for dinner. Was not impressed with our dinner at all. Prime rib was fatty. Asked for medium well and came out very pink. Can’t really mess up a baked potato or asparagus. My salad came out with the wrong dressing. We each had asked for a cup of coffee after our meal and needless to say we left it sit untouched due to dirty cups. We went for the close proximity to our home but most likely will not return or recommend.
