    Would have to consider that we made reservations for 530 and was told to wait in the lounge area while table after table started to get sat ahead of us, had to ask and they forgot about us. Fair enough but even after that it took a few to get our table. Asked the waitress for a beer menu again too 5-10 minutes for that to arrive. The food itself was good except the hair in the fish and chips but who knows could have been my wife’s hair but not sure. Didn’t seem too busy but didn’t see the waitress very often. Overall not the greatest night out. We left and went to queens cross for drinks.

    We enjoyed a dinner at Tap and Barrel Shipyards. It was a terrific menu as I wanted something different from my usual and chose a Truffle Mac and Cheese. Wow, it was delicious and a taste sensation. Our server Tyler was very helpful overall. Even in assisting us in select from the extensive beer and wine list. Tyler was very attentive without being disruptive as I was on a date with my wife.

    Love Tap & Barrel! Food is always good and servers are friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend. The only down side, which is not the fault of the restaurant, is the parking. If you park in the hotel parking lot it costs as much as a lunch or dinner! There is hardly any street parking. The other option is parking at Lonsdale Quay and walking over. Hard to do if you are handicap.

    The service was excellent! The hosting and the wait staff but the food was a little disappointing for the price point. I have ordered the rice bowl a couple of times and kind of always tasted like left over rice and left over chicken has been thrown together. Used to love the hummus but again the naan didn’t seem “fresh” same with the nachos. Everyone else kind of liked the wings and burgers. I think the food could be and used to be better

    Our nachos came with the cheese completely crispy and burnt on top and hard. The nachos underneath were soggy. My power bowl was great but my friends burger and fries looked sad and stale as if it had been sitting for hours. The service was excruciatingly slow to the point we were just going to get up and pay the hostess. We asked for water, our server and the dessert menu MULTIPLE times. I’ll never go back and instead go to Joeys and some of my other favourite restaurants around the shipyards. I was very disappointed.

    The food was good with great portions however the service was terrible. A some what rude, disinterested server who clearly didn’t want to be there. From slapping down our drinks to not delivering our food at the same time, not to mention their complete lack of respect. Left us with zero desire to return to this location.
