More details about Terrence Feury's Tavro13
As a Philly kid with half a family in Jersey, I've always found the biggest difference between the city and the suburbs is the quiet. Seems that also extends to restaurant openings. Terence Feury, who's taken his talents from Old City's Fork to the Garden State, hasn't been saying much about Tavro13 (1301 Kings Highway), the American dining room in the former digs of the Old Swedes Inn, an establishment as historical as it was terrible. In fact, nobody's been saying much about it at all. That's probably got something to do with the nondescript location--Swedesboro is just a few miles in from the River near the PA/DE border--but that shouldn't deter you from visiting once it opens.
"We're still looking to open end of September, beginning of October," says Feury, who's planning to finish the kitchen this week. "Our menu will feature seasonal, straightforward but refined American cuisine." There'll be a cocktail snack menu too, "Things like marinated olives with crunchy chick peas and favas, grilled octopus with almonds, chicken liver mousse with grilled country bread."
The old Inn's unusual layout has been converted a series of dining areas for Tavro, each with a distinct design. (Check out the tile-work on the porch.) The mural, a focal element on room, is by artist Effie Tzitzifas, wife of Gus Tzitzifas, Feury's partner in the business.
Tavro and Feury's presence is a big get for Swedesboro, and for South Jersey in general. With Joey Baldino absolutely killing it in Collingswood with Zeppoli, you've got to wonder if a trend is in the works... I hope so. It will make visiting family in Jerz a whole lot tastier.
