Liberty Tree Tavern’s Updated Dinner Menu Review

Did you know that Liberty Tree Tavern recently updated their Bill of Fare dinner menu?  While some favorite food offerings have remained unchanged, or undergone some minor changes,  you will find some others are no longer on the dinner menu and new offerings have been added in their place.  Here is my review of Liberty Tree Tavern’s updated dinner menu.

To begin, my server brought me a plate of two dinner rolls, on a triangular stoneware plate with rounded edges, and whipped honey butter in a small stoneware bowl.  The rolls were a bit dry for my taste.  However, the whipped honey butter was a perfect blend of butter and honey that added a slight sweetness, and a little flavor, to the roll.

Next up was the Declaration Salad tossed with house-made Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing in a stoneware bowl.  I was happy that the salad was made with mixed greens, and that the cucumbers still had the outer skin on them, thus adding a bit of crunch to the salad. I should note here that some of the lettuce is iceberg lettuce, of which I am not a fan.  There was also shredded carrots, grape tomatoes, and red onions.  The house-made strawberry vinaigrette dressing was, in my opinion, oily with very little flavor.  I prefer a vinaigrette dressing to have more vinegar and less oil.  There was a bit of sweetness to the dressing but I could not place the flavor of strawberry.

After the salad and rolls were removed, my server brought me the Patriots Platter.  Now this is where the food gets interesting.  The Roasted Turkey, Sliced Tavern Ham, and Pot Roast were the three meats offered and were served on a large triangular stoneware plate.  Also included on the plate were herb stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce.  Gravy was served on the side in its own little silver gravy boat.

The ever-popular Roasted Turkey Breast is still on the menu and has remained unchanged.  I found it to be very flavorful.  I asked my server to check with the chef to let me know what seasoning they put on the turkey. Can you believe that salt and pepper are the only two seasonings added to the turkey?  With all that flavor I expected to hear that there was some secret ingredient added.

The Sliced Tavern Ham, now on the menu, has replaced the Pork Roast that was here before.  The ham was just okay.  I found it to be lacking in flavor and a little dry.  I prefer ham that has a moister, and somewhat saltier, taste.

And now for my personal favorite of the meats; the Pot Roast.  Replacing the Carved Roast Beef, which is no longer on the menu, the Pot Roast is a welcome addition.  As a native of New England, where Pot Roast is a common expectation for Sunday dinner, I was skeptical and thought there was no way this was going to match my mom’s Pot Roast.  Well, sorry mom, but this was the best Pot Roast I have ever eaten.  As soon as I put my fork into the meat it literally came apart.  No knife was needed at all.  As I took my first bite of this melt-in-your-mouth Pot Roast, it caused my taste buds to awaken from the combination of flavors.  The gravy and the seasonings, along with the moistness of the meat, were absolutely delectable.

The herb stuffing was good and had the right mix of moistness and texture.  Personally, I prefer stuffing with cranberries, pecans, celery, and onion.  While I could see and smell the herbs in the stuffing, beyond that it did not carry a lot of flavor.  I imagine that in the colonial days there were not a lot of choices for seasoning foods. This is likely one way for Liberty Tree Tavern to stay true to its theme.

As a person who is not typically a fan of mashed potatoes, I found the potatoes to be pretty good.  They were not over-mashed and had some small chunks of potatoes in there that gave them a nice texture.  I found them to have a good flavor without being salty or too thin.

The seasonal vegetables were fresh-tasting thin green beans.  I found these to be very tasty with a hint of garlic and oil.  They were also cooked exactly to my preference offering a crisp crunch without being too soft and overdone.

And now for the most flavorful offering on the platter; the cranberry sauce.  Made with cranberries, orange, and cinnamon, the cranberry is absolutely delectable.  This combination of flavors are very pleasing to the palate.  From the sweetness of the orange, to the tartness of the cranberry, all combined with a burst of cinnamon is like no other flavor I have ever tasted.

If you enjoy gravy then you are in for a treat.  The gravy arrived in its own little silver gravy boat.  It was good without being too salty or overly heavy.  I sampled the gravy with the Roasted Turkey Breast and the Mashed Potatoes.  I did prefer the Roasted Turkey Breast all on its own without the gravy.  However, I discovered that I enjoyed the taste of the mashed potatoes with the gravy.

Now onto the dessert.  Everyone loves dessert and I am no exception to that rule.  The offering was Johnny Appleseed’s Tart, which is a change from the Johnny Appleseed’s Cake on the previous menu, served with a scoop of Edy’s Vanilla Ice Cream.  I am particularly happy about this change as I do not care for cake.  The tart and ice cream were served on a round stoneware dessert plate. I found the offering to be an excellent mix of sweetness and tartness along with a touch of spice.  The pastry shell of the tart is quite sweet if you eat it by itself and that took me by surprise.  Oh, but there is a reason for this!  Combined with the tartness of the apples and craisins, along with the spice of the cinnamon, this recipe is perfection in the flavor department.

The changes to the Bill of Fare dinner menu have been in place since November 2015.  This is when Liberty Tree Tavern re-opened after completion of a refurbishment.  The quality of the food, along with the historical atmosphere, has remained intact.

If you are looking for a sit-down restaurant to have a nice meal, and relax with good conversation, then Liberty Tree Tavern is a nice option.  Seating is in different rooms, rather than one large open room, which allows you to hear each other talking.  I know one of the struggles I find is that the restaurants at Disney World are often very noisy due to large open spaces.  This is not the case here at Liberty Tree Tavern.  If you are looking for exotic foods then this is not the place for you.  However, if you are trying to find a home-cooked style meal, then Liberty Tree Tavern is sure to fit the bill with their updated Bill of Fare dinner menu.
