Everything was fine - service, food etc. Not stand out but fine. 4:45 and 8 were my only options when booking so we took 4:45; I would rather have had a 5:30. It was weird and a little irritating that the restaurant was basically empty most of the time we were there. Hard to understand why we didn’t have more time options.

We had a reservation for 6pm 4 people for Nov 16 2019. Upon arrival after confirming online we would be there, we were told the other people in our party was at our table. This was impossible since they had called us and would be a bit late. The hostess said well somebody took your table and she could give us another spot but had to be out in 45 mins because they had a big group coming for the Canucks game. Also told us they had lots of reservations so had no table for more than 45 mins. Upon having a bit of heated discussion she found us a table. When we got seated we looked around and there were lots of empty tables, also when 7 pm the start of Canucks game came low and behold no big groups for the game. The server was great and that’s about it. Would never recommend this place after the hassle we had gotten even though we also had a reservation.

I made a reservation and the table was available when we arrived a few minutes early. The waitress was polite and informative. Was not pushy. The food was served quickly and it was hot. the waitress was available if we needed her but she also left us alone to enjoy the ambience.

This was such a nice surprise! My husband and I were looking for a restaurant to go to before a concert on Sunday and we decided to give the Kingston Taphouse & Grille a try. I'm so glad we did! I had the blackened chicken club sandwich and it was, without a doubt, the best chicken sandwich I've ever had...absolutely delicious! My husband had a pasta dish that was amazing as well...very fresh and served piping hot! All the servers were super friendly and actually took an interest in what we were doing that evening! Thank you for a wonderful start to our evening...we'll be back!!!

We met good friends for dinner. We are all out-of-Towners who happened to get off cruise ships at the same place. The restaurant was very accommodating to our group of 8. Our server, (clerk ID12) was terrific!! She gave us time to catch up and didn’t make us feel rushed! She even made a special order for 1 of our 2 12 year olds by making her a grilled cheese! Would highly recommend for a meal with friends!

It was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. It was a bit noisier than we had expected but not so loud as to be a problem. Service was a bit slow because the restaurant was full but again, it wasn’t a problem as we were not in any hurry. Overall, quite a pleasant dinner and fair value for the price.

Disappointed when we were shown to our table initially that in a wide open restaurant we were given a table jammed up against a railing with awkward seating. Asked to be relocated to a booth, got a small booth. Told larger booths only for parties of 4. When we left at least 5 of these booths only had two people in them. Felt like we were treated like second class citizens. Ordered salt & pepper wings - they were over cooked and dry.
