    This is my family’s 2nd go to place when we want to eat steak. I can’t recall how many times since we’ve been coming here to celebrate my son’s birthday. And we still enjoy our food and the service is as always at par.

    It was delightful. We were on our way to the airport and this was our last memorable experience of Vancouver. They took our bags and stored them for us and took us to a table with a view over the whole restaurant. (I only with the had an elevator to get to the mezzanine level where we were seated. Every bite of food was excellent and exceeded my expectations of the dish. Our server was there when we needed her and did not intrude "just to check in" like many do. It was a bustling place and we were delighted. We'll be back.

    Can't say enough good things about this dining experience. We were late for our reservation due to parking issues and it was very busy, but the hostess went out of her way to find us a low table near the window. We had limited time due to tickets to a play and our server was awesome. The food came quickly and was delicious... seafood caesar and my Tap & Barrel favourite, the Ranchero bowl. Highly recommended.
