    It was a very busy evening in the restaurant. We had a reservation but were seated in the bar area. I didn’t expect to have to request dining room. Very loud, unable to hear each other without shouting The wings and toffee pudding were the best things we had. Fish tacos, rigatoni, were mediocre and the salmon and chicken at our table were dry and over done. Service was fair.

    They have a great space for large groups, but the service suffers. The food is good, the servers are pleasant, hence, 4 stars!

    The ambience is unique, waitress was very nice and friendly, service was really good. On the other hand the food quality was terrible, mac and cheese was dry and watery at the same time! Dry steak, unpleasant look. Chicken had no taste and the appearance wasn’t pleasant with the pile of old vegetables on the side. The place was too noisy and everyone basically had to scream to make their voice heard. Was a good one time experience overall but tap and barrel is obviously weaker than the other competitors
    Tap & Barrel • ShipyardsResponded on 9 December 2024
    Hi Niloofar, thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambience and service, but we’re sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve, and we appreciate your insights on the noise level as well.

    We all enjoyed our meals tremendously! I had enough for supper, too. This is a lovely place to eat, and well worth the drive from the Fraser Valley.
