    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

    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.

    We’re from Barcelona and our server had lived in Barcelona for a while so obviously we became best friends real fast. The food was excellent as always, and I really appreciate the updated menu with a separate plant based section as several of us are vegan or vegetarian. Before we left a staff member took a polaroid photo of us and it came out so cute! In my opinion this is the best spot to hang out if you’re in a big group (we were 16 last night) as you don’t feel rushed to leave just after your dinner! Thanks :-)
    Tap & Barrel • ShipyardsResponded on 2 December 2024
    Laura, we're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience! It's fantastic that our server connected with you over Barcelona, and we're glad you loved the updated menu. Thanks for sharing your fun moments with us—come back soon for more great times!
