Wishing you a very relaxing retirement, We are looking forward to the reopening of the famous Tavern and wish your son and staff the very best.

Small family businesses strengthen our communities, thank you for all you have done these past 24 years. I'm sure Kevin and Perry will continue to bring an excellent product to the community for years to come.

Our time with you has been primarily brunch. You served the best brunch I have found and I'm so sorry to hear the news. Best wishes to you and thank you. We will have fond memories.

Wishing you all of the best on your future endeavors, and sending best wishes to Kevin Jr. (and Perry) on the new adventure. The Tavern holds a special place in our hearts as the setting for many family functions from showers, to christenings. And of course the Hodgeman restaurant tradition holds a place in my family’s heart from so long ago. (Table for Two❤️). Best wishes!

Happy for you all and continued success for Kevin and Perry. One of our all time favorite restaurants.

We have enjoyed your restaurant over the years!! Good luck to Kevin and congrats to all!!

Enjoy your retirement! You deserve it. 🙂😊

All the best for a fabulous retirement!

Hopefully you will have brunch again this fall after renovations.

What is the last day?

Sure we"ll call it Coupe's Tavern at the Villages.LOL

So at this point what are chances that the Sunday brunches will resume in the fall?

Enjoy your vacation and the future as well !!

You could relocate The Tavern to The Villages, FL, the largest retirement community in the US, where I’m convinced it would be an instant gold mine. We really miss The Tavern, Kiev’s Shrimp Scampi and Scallop & Haddock Oscar. ☹️

Thanks!

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. Enjoy your vacation 😎

Have fun🍷-Happy New year!!!

We will be there!

Will you still be serving brunch after the change on sundays?

Eileen, so happy for you and Kevin! Matt and I have enjoyed many wonderful meals at The Tavern and will continue to do so.

Kevin and Eileen. You have created a dynasty of homemade cooking and delicious meals. The business of owning a successful restaurant is life consuming. Wishing you both the freedom to relax more and smell the roses. We love you both and know that the remodeled restaurant will always be filled with those friends and families you so faithfully served over the years. Will the brownie sundaes have a little kick now? Lol

Thank you for all you do!! The Tavern is my favorite restaurant in Plainville. Best scallops in a 20 mile radius! Enjoy retirement❤️

We are very happy for you both and look forward to visiting the newly renovated and downsized Tavern when we visit nearby RI. Best of luck to Kevin and Eileen, Kevin The Younger and Perry.

Eileen and Kevin, you two have worked so hard over the years! No one deserves some leisure time more than you! You always provided the best of everything- with best food, best friendship topping the list. Thanks for all the great years!!! Rick and I send Best wishes on your “semi” retirement. 💗

Bravo! A life well done!

Will the blues jam still take place every week?

Elisa D'Arconte Parker we should look into this when I get back.

Mary Heath-April, Kathleen Ramsey, Georgia Close. Brunch anyone? We could do this for our holiday shopping trip before heading to Wrentham next month?

That place is awesome!

Sounds fun. What date?

We may be there soon!

Best brunch anywhere in comfortable friendly atmosphere. Been doing family functions at Tavern for years. Great food, great folks. 😋

Thanks for another great year of busy brunches!!!
