Don't go to Tad's for the food, go for the whole experience. Yes, the food is marginal, but the drinks are good, the service friendly, and view great. I go to Tad's in the summer and for special occasions - it makes a great first date venue. Order something other than the chicken'n'dumplings and you'll be happier.
Pros: Ambience, Service, Drinks
Cons: Food Quality, Parking
