The Tavern is an fine dining restaurant in State College, Pennsylvania. It has been there for 60 years and the walls are lined with photos of the town and university. I was there for lunch and so decided that it would be a good restaurant to start the blog with.
Instead of the standard rye bread the Tavern has it served on a pumpernickel rye swirled bread. The bread was sliced a bit too thin but it was still strong enough to hold together. The first few bites were disappointing. With the way that it was lying on the plate the bottom slice had gone soggy. Additionally the grilling wasn't even. Part of the bread was burned and part of it was merely dried out. The second half of the sandwich was fine though.
The sauerkraut was bland, as was the corned beef. The cheese was well melted but once again mild. The russian dressing was overall the most dominant element but it tasted old.
On a whole the sandwich was good but not great. The flavors were well balanced but lacked in intensity.
Rating 3/5
