D. Taylor's Food & Travel

We tried stopping by the Dunstan Tap and Table once and learned they were closed both Monday and Tuesday.

I thought the rémoulade was a bit bland, but I suppose I favor the hotter, more Cajun-flavored versions. Food I like sausages and had ordered the Spicy Sausage. It comes with cornbread, bacon mac’n’ che...
