Every time we have been the service has been great! Servers, bartenders and staff are really friendly. They are always there to ask if we require anything additional and they are always on top of what their guests need.

Two of the party are seniors but yet the first table the door staff took us to was the high seats. Not good for climbing up for one with a cane! We were then seated out on the patio but none of the doors were fully closed against the rain and wind. The heater above us did not work and four of the six ended up eating with their bulky winter coats on. But at some tables with heat, women were bare armed!! Needless to say, the food cooled very quickly or was not as hot to start with as it should have been. We have nothing good to say about that evening's experience. We have eaten here several times and never soooo bad. Maybe we will have to wait for good weather when the patio will be truly able to accommodate people for a good meal.

We were seated in the upstairs area and the ambience was cold and the actual temperature was quite cold (draft from the big doors/windows). The waitress and all the staff were very nice and attentive, service was great overall and the food was good. We found the menu a bit overpriced. Overall I would dine here again but it’s definitely a better experience in the Summer with the patio!

It was our first time at Tap & Barrel. Our adult daughter was visiting with her boyfriend from Whitehorse and wanted to do the walk along False Creek into Granville Island Market with us. So, it was a perfect place to meet up for brunch before our walk. All four of us were very happy with our server and our meal choices. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the the breakfast burger (loved it), our daughter said the double bacon benny was a perfect heat (not too spicy), her boyfriend said the chicken and waffles was the best he ever had, and I ordered bacon and eggs which our server accommodated without hesitation when I asked for my eggs easy over instead of scrambled ... they were done to perfection. The tots were a nice addition, I wasn't sure what to expect. We will do this again, hopefully sometime soon.

We were sat outside with the above heaters. It was freezing, draughty and very very loud. We had to yell at each other and even them could hardly hear. The waiter was wonderful, lovely personality and very fast. The food was overpriced for appetizers. Would not recommend going here to anyone. I would actually dissuade them.

I was really impressed by our server! He was professional, friendly, and so helpful as he responded to our questions and a couple of allergy concerns with patience and flexibility! We enjoyed our great table upstairs with an awesome view out the window, and we all enjoyed the food selections we decided upon as well. The tuna burger, the prosciutto and arugula pizza, and the middle eastern hummus/feta/red pepper flatbread combination were all winner dishes. Our server even offered, without us asking, to bring some gluten free veggies for dipping in the yummy appetizer for one of our group! Tap and Barrel Olympic Village is often our go to place to meet our daughter or friends when we are heading to an event downtown. It’s often very busy so a reservation is a good idea!!

Our server did a great job at accommodating our party of 15. A little bit irritating was that the restaurant phoned me at 9:30pm the day before to confirm the reservation when I had already confirmed via open table the morning of. The restaurant had us in their quiet upstairs area, but split over two tables. They were very accommodating when I asked that we make one big table

Food was ok. We both had the bacon eggs benedict. Eggs were over cooked for sure. In fact we were never asked how we wanted our eggs cooked. We had to find out waiter a few times for items and had to wait super long for the bill. It was okay. I have had better there as I have been here numerous times. Not my favorite experience but the outside sitting is so nice by the water. Would I go again. Yes. Would I recommend, maybe!
