With the number of times that I have been to Addams Tavern, I'm shocked at myself for not doing this review sooner. I remember the first time I went to Addams for my birthday, none of my friends had been there before, so it was a new experience for all of us. Not a single person in the party had a negative thing to say, which is a nice thing to feel like you made a solid choice for your group. I always make reservations online because I like to guarantee that there will be space for my party and I when we get there, but they do take walk ins, as well. They have a bar area with stools and tables, they have regular table seating, white table cloth seating, and they have an upstairs area, as well. At one point, post pandemic when restaurants were allowed to be open again, we were seated outside. I have sat in most, if not all of these areas, and I can't tell which one I like more. When you first walk in, you are greeted by the host/hostess. The vibe is romantic with dim lighting and high ceilings. There is a subtle smoke smell that comes from the wood burning grills and the ovens (which you can openly see), and it only adds to the ambiance. The closer you sit to the ovens, the more you feel the scent clinging to you, so if that is something you're not crazy about, just ask them to seat you somewhere else. All of the staff there is fantastic. They are polite, kind and are super patient with questions and special requests that you may have. Their knowledge comes in handy when you're asking about the new seasonal items. That being said, there hasn't been anything I have tried here that wasn't fresh and delicious and seasoned just right. At my most recent visit, I had the Addams Rotisserie Pulled Chicken Salad with the crispy brussels sprouts and I loved them. So good. The ambiance with the service with the food quality is definitely worth the price you pay. So, the next time you're looking for a spot for date night, girls night out, or just a place to catch up, this is your place! Pro tip: there are bathrooms on BOTH floors, so you're never walking along the entire place just to get to a restroom.

I met a friend for dinner here on a Friday. The restaurant was busy but that did not stop us from receiving exceptional service. The restaurant was a bit noisy but not overbearing, and quieter upstairs. We shared a delicious bottle of wine, and burrata with extra veggies since I'm celiac. My friend had a burger which she enjoyed and I ate a salad that was dressed perfectly. We enjoyed coffees and gelato for dessert. We were not rushed at all and had a great time! We would return for sure.

A dark and romantic bar spot right in downtown Westfield! Booked a reservation ahead of time and we were seared right away upstairs! This place is massive and has all different types of vibe-loud booth, bar spot, white table cloth dining, etc... The service was excellent. You are treated like royalty, the servers are knowledgeable, attentive, and gracious. Our server, Levan, was the best! This was the best part of the experience in my opinion! The food was pretty good too! Believe it or not, the burger is one of their best menu items! We also loved the scallops, the pot pie, and the pork chop!

A delightful brunch spot, though it is probably better known for drinks and dinner. My grandmother, boyfriend and I sat upstairs where it is a little quieter. My salad was dressed perfectly and was absolutely delcious. We also LOVED the cinnamon bread pudding. It was the perfect brunch dessert. However, my boyfriends brunch felt a little skimpy size wise compared to everything else we ordered, which was suprising.

Came here for dinner with family, we were a group of 6 and additionally had 2 children with us. We were seated promptly as we had made reservations online. For starters we had the calamari which was crispy and well-flavored with a tiny kick to it. We also tried the rotisserie chicken wings which were sweet and not spicy at all. For dinner my husband and I shared a Romaine Caesar Salad and the Chicken Pot Pie. The Caesar Salad was light and delicious- it had the perfect amount of dressing (minimal which is my preference) and the romaine lettuce was crisp and fresh. The Chicken Pot Pie had a great flaky crust but the dish was a bit soupy to me so be sure to ask for a spoon. Regardless of that, the dish was still tasty. What really made this place exceptional was their extremely attentive service. There was someone checking on us constantly, we never had to flag down a single person for help. They are also very kid friendly here. This all really made our dining experience enjoyable. Parking is plentiful right next door, you just have to pay for metered parking (except on Sundays). Overall, a great place with wonderful service and delicious food.

This place is part of the Harvest Restaurant group and though that usually doesn't necessarily mean anything for here it is nice to have a pretty wide selection of the Trap Rock brews on the menu! Also, the name seems to have some attachment to The Addams Family, that was created by American cartoonist Charles Addams who grew up in Westfield. "Attachment" means being inspired by, and you will also see some of the cartoons Addams drew for the New Yorker. Otherwise, there is no dust and mustiness here, only a wonderful feeling of comfort as you walk through. The Romaine Caesar Salad - Parmesan, Croutons is really a great version of a Caesar salad. The Just Baked Cheddar Onion Biscuits - Maple Chili Butter are definitely worth trying. The Crispy RI Calamari Pickled Cherry Peppers, Addams Sauce is one of the better versions of this dish I have had. The Wood Fired Baby Backs Ribs Fall Off the Bone Tender, BBQ Sauce, Creamy Sweet Relish Slaw, Baked Stuffed Potato do indeed fall off the bone though the potato could have been a better experience.

Recommended by friend while we were talking about how much we love the Netflix show Wednesday and the Addam's Family murals in Westfield! Our first visit! The Addams sauce on the fried calamari had a nice spicy kick! Enjoyed my Ricotta Gnocchi and COFFEE BREAD PUDDING! Our server Emily A. Was awesome! Thank you for the great service! Great ambience! Like the art work! Make reservations! Metered parking Mondays to Saturdays until 6p then it's free parking! Free parking Sundays!

I came back to Addams Tavern on January 1st, 2023 for the second time and I stay true to my November 7th, 2022 review. Each dish that our table ordered was extremely flavorful. The ambiance is family-friendly. It is bright and airy with tons of natural lighting and high ceilings.
