    The server was really annoying. Wouldn’t stop asking if we were ready to order when clearly we were looking at the menu. I had to tell her that once we were ready we would let her know. Also, get ready to top at least 18%….

    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!

    Usually have a great experience here, but this time around the service was pretty lackluster. It was a Monday night with barely any people but server was getting flustered... there was maybe 4 other tables with us on the patio. Food was okay, I can't remember the burgers being mid like this. Appies were good, wings were good. I'll always recommend this location; just had one iffy experience but I like it here so I'll keep giving them chances.

    Great food, the restaurant was very noisy and the table was not well lit, it was very hard to see. I made a reservation a week ahead for 9 people and when I got there I had to wait because the table was not ready. You would think that a week would be enough time to set up a table for 9 people on time

    The view is amazing from the patio. The server was OK, never brought water for the third person in our group. I think the best of our food choices was the bread and hummus appie. Excellent! The burgers were good but nothing to write home about. Poke bowl was so-so. I'd say come for the view but don't expect too much on the food front. If you'r just coming for drinks then it's a great place to hang out on a summer day!

    Food quality was good though a bit over salted. The mushroom pizza and veggie quesadillas were tasty and were sufficient portions for 2 people. I suggest you make reservations if you want to sit on the patio and be seated promptly. Service was prompt,attentive and friendly. Great place to take out of town guests. Nice location next to False Creek.

    Tap & Barrel • Olympic VillageResponded on September 5, 2023

    Hi there, Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback on the food and portions. We will be sure to check in with our leadership team in the kitchen, to make sure our recipes have been followed, in case something has been over salted. We agree making a reservation is a great way to insure prompt seating, and we appreciate your suggestion! We look forward to hosting you on our patio again real soon!

    Hostess at the front was rude from the moment she spoke, which was between 30-60 seconds after we were standing in front of her waiting to speak to get our seat. She looked down until she spoke and didn't acknowledge we were there, when there were no other patrons in the line. Then, we requested a seat with an umbrella (we had a patio reservation) and she said she'll see what she can do because it was busy. But then when she brought us out there were more than 8 tables available and she went to place us in the one that had no shade. We asked if we could have the one beside it that had yet to be cleared. She said "well, that could take 5 minutes" which we were perfectly fine with. We stepped inside out of the sun to wait, she walked by us to go back out to the front and said "guys, you can wait outside" rudely. Meanwhile we had just asked about shade to be out of the heat. She then, seemingly intentionally, made us wait more than 10 mins for our seat. Other hostesses came to us more pleasantly and asked if we were waiting for something. We told them we were waiting for a table and were being helped, so they let us be. Then quite some time after, the original hostess brought us to our table without a word. The entire interaction was unpleasant from the start. She ignored us at first, then treated us like cattle rather than patrons coming to support a business. We've been here many times since the place opened. We came on Sunday afternoon to try to enjoy ourselves, and found it not to be a good experience. Our waiter was very pleasant, and other hostesses were too, but this one was not and should probably not be working the front door, or learn to understand that people come to enjoy themselves. If she thinks customers are getting in the way of her day, then she should find another position, because that's what her position is, to greet the customer. I don't leave many reviews for places, unless they're exceptional one way or another. This one was in the wrong way.

    Our experience was OK. Nothing great and over priced for casual dining. The drinks were tasty but they were small, full of ice and over priced. The food was tasty but again small and over priced. The kids meals are a good value and kids loved them, came with ice cream scoop. Ahi bowl was more pickled ginger than anything else, very little veg or rice, tuna was chopped into tiny pieces. Burger was good. Service was OK, understood my dietary allergy and made it work, but not overly friendly. Location is great for people watching, great view, big patio. Two kids meals, two regular meals and two drinks came to over $110.

    We venture here on a regular bases . Although was in complete shock when I asked for a small side of a their regular salad(usually an add on for the burgers ) and was charged 7.95$ for the smallest bowl. That’s the biggest complaint I have on top of their truffle fries ( tiny bowl is 11$ ) we can understand inflation but it’s really ridiculous on those items.
