Great old tavern with great food. We went there for Valentine’s Day dinner and loved it. The oysters and shrimp as starters were great. We had veal and salmon for the entree and a baked Alaska for dessert! I made reservations over a month in advance but they did get cancelled out of the blue but the hostess took care of the issue when I called about it.
This place gets very busy on Friday and Saturday evenings….I strongly recommend main reservations. We highly recommend the Red Lion Tavern.

What a treat! Date night! Great experience at one of the oldest restaurants in the Town of Cohasset. Wife and I decided to try the Red Lion Tavern since they advertised a new chef and a new menu plus $1 oysters special on Wednesdays starting August 28, 2024. Tried to make reservations the night before but the online reservations did not work. Decided to go anyway figuring if we were early enough as they opened, we’d get a table. As we walked in, right away we were greeted at the door by one of the (I think) manager who held the door opened for us. As we walked through the bar towards the hostess check in, we were pleasantly greeted by the staff and bartender. Checking in with the hostess with a cheerful conversation, we were escorted to a table. The restaurant maintained a colonial rustic charm as it did when we visited many years ago, BC (before children). Very clean, well lit and comfortable. Once seated, we were welcomed by Laura, our waitress for the evening. She made all the difference making the whole evening and experience perfect and excellent. She was friendly, professional, attentive, courteous and helpful. Absolutely 5 star service. Took the time to explain the menu including some of the popular, new and special items featured. Throughout the whole evening, the waitstaff and managers also checked on us. Perfect timing in bringing out our order, clearing dishes, replacing utensils and replenishing drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the Korean bbq ribs, cornbread lobster and a dozen oysters on the half shell. For entrees, wife ordered the Caesar salad with salmon and I ordered the steak tartar (it was listed on the appetizers but wanted it as my entree after devouring the other apps and 2 dozen oysters). For dessert, we shared an espresso on chocolate mousse. Delightful! All the dishes cooked and prepared perfectly. Awesome presentations and delicious. Highly recommend! Will definitely return to try the other items on the menu plus more $1 oysters.

Your hostess Michelle is a great asset for your business. Her pleasant sincere & heart-felt greetings are second to none. She greeted the Wedding Party with a smile and gave clear and concise directions while still checking in hotel guests. She provided moral support for me while I waited to greet my first date & a Rose to surprise my lady. The food & atmosphere was incredible, as was the service in the restaurant. Might I add, I am a very Senior Gentleman and appreciated the attention to detail that you provide for your customers & guests. I highly recommend your restaurant for a memorable experience. You will definitely leave with a smile on your face and good feeling about the personal attention you will receive, as well as, the fine food & beverage you will partake in. Please extend my gratitude to your entire team. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will return. Thank you again Michelle.

The overall experience at this restaurant was underwhelming. The food was just average and left room for improvement. The caesar salad was disappointing, as the dressing was overly diluted and lacked flavor. The steak frites also fell short—it was too oily and didn’t meet expectations. While the service was acceptable, it wasn’t particularly memorable or attentive. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything that stood out during the visit.

In 1704 this tavern opened and it is still going strong.
Whether you stay overnight or just visit for dinner, The Red Lion Inn Tavern in Cohasset will impress.
The tavern side is cozy and the dining room side has and open kitchen and additional bar space.
But the elevated New England cuisine is the star. And it is almost impossible to pick favorites but the Bolognese is a crowd pleaser, the steak was impossibly tender, and the cocktails were dangerously smooth.

Oh my gosh, I was blown away! Came here for dinner and ordered the raviolo, the shrimp fra diavolo, and the pork shank. Everything was fabulous. Our server, Laura, went above and beyond. She was warm, welcoming, and had the most wonderful recs for food and wine! Seriously, take any recommendation she has! It will surprise you!

Ist timer. Had lunch in The Pub. Was graciously greeted by the manager, and because we had never been there before, gave us a tour before lunch. The manager made his way to our table multiple times to check that all was well. The bartender was our server and couldn’t have been nicer. The food was absolutely delicious….came out nice and hot…huge kudos for the clam chowder!! We will definitely be back.

Got married at the RLI in 2022 and my husband and I have come to the tavern every year since! The new chef and menu is fantastic! One recommendation would be to have some sort of mocktail though, or N/A option besides soda 🙂
UPDATE: They added mocktail options and I am thrilled!! Thank you RLI

We had such a memorable dinner Wednesday night, we returned Saturday night and I ordered the same exact dinner! The kale salad was so delicious and the Ricotta Gnudi is a must taste. We ordered the Roasted Winter Squash appetizer that was delicious. My daughter had the Herb Tagliatelle that she enjoyed and took a photo of! Their pastas are all homemade. The Chateau Lyonnat was a delicious red wine to accompany the dinner and so reasonably priced for the taste and quality. The service was excellent both nights. We had Angela Saturday night who was exceptional. I highly recommend trying them out.

Restaurant has a Red Lion Rewards program. You can sign up on your bill tab which I did. Then reward points are supposed to be added to the account with each meal purchased with your credit card on file. Well, for whatever reason, it didnt add any points for subsequent meals I purchased with my credit card. Nearly 6 weeks ago, I discussed my problem in person with the restaurant manager. He told me he would fix the problem with my account and call me. Well, it has been nearly 6 weeks and the manager has neither followed up with me nor fixed the issue.
Although I like the food, I prefer to not support restaurants with weak customer service…
REPLY TO THE FIRST NOW DELETED RED LION RESPONSE stating they do not have a rewards program at this time.
I also received an email after enrolling saying “Welcome to the Red Lion Rewards”.
The attached photos shows the bottom of my receipt from a meal at the Red Lion Tavern on 12/27/24… less than a month ago. It reads “Join our loyalty program…” You said you do not have a rewards program but didnt say tour loyalty/rewards program was discontinued. Please verify the status of your loyalty program that is advertised on all your restaurant checks.
