    I booked a reservation for 4:15 and when we got there they said no it’s at 4:30 even though it said 4:15 on my email, they proceeded to seat us. They left us standing in the middle of the restaurant to wait as they rearranged people who were already eating. The hostess then continues AGAIN to say that our reservation was at 4:30 that’s why even though we kept saying that it was at 4:15.

    Terrible service and terrible meal. The waiter completely ignored our large party and the dinner came out cold and no one tried to fix anything. I have dined at tap and barrel at other locations and never had this experience so this may be specific to this location. Very disappointing especially for a large group celebrating an occasion.

    We were able to get in quickly and were seated on the heated patio, which I appreciated as a game was on the TV inside. We had lunch/brunch, and my boyfriend loved the avocado bennie.

    They didn’t have all food options available on menu and then when we ordered, our food arrived incorrectly. Instead of covering the food cost (for that plate) they gave a free drink. Wasn’t really happy with that. I still left a small tip and the server shook his head in front of us. Not impressed with that

    This was our 2nd visit to this location. I found the atmosphere to be very loud, the seating uncomfortable and the food mediocre. I ordered the Tap Burger with fries and my hubby ordered the Ranchero Rice Bowl with Cajun chicken. Our server forgot to order his meal so his arrived much later than mine and we pretty much ate separately. I won't be going back.

    Service was attentive, pleasant, friendly, informative. Ambience was ok, music not too loud. We were able to actually have conversations. The chair was uncomfortable—I guess that works if you don’t want people to stay too long. Food was meh. I had the Tap burger and it was really not any better than a White Spot burger. The fries seemed packaged and a little too much like McDonalds fries. Was the kitchen running behind and they did a take out drive through order?

    Great location with $1/hr parking nearby. Closer to restaurant is $2/hr. We ordered the Happy Hr steak special and PB&J burger off regular menu, and some Happy Hr drinks. The steak was done perfectly (medium rare) and the PB&J burger is always consistent and tasted amazing. There was a good variety of drink specials as well. Server was efficient, friendly and engaging, and knew the menu well. We ended the meal with the butter tart from the fall menu. Although the flavour was very good and not too sweet, the filling was runny, so not your traditional butter tart. I would've preferred a more thickened filling, but the server did inform us when we ordered it, and we still wanted to try it regardless. We waited about 20 minutes for our food, which is within the norm for what we ordered, and the place was busy. So, all in all, we were pleased with how things went.

    despite good ambience, food and service left much to be desired. Never mind that my bill was overcharged by $60 with 3 orders I did not consumed. Upon reviewing it I was offered $30 gift certificate or having to come back to the restaurant because their billing service did not permit electronic refunds to credit cards beyond the day of billing (amazing!). So what was supposed to be a family dinner with grandchildren at 5 pm turned up to be an unpleasant evening that did not end until past 10 pm!
