This is my first time at the tap42 on Kendall. Our experience was fantastic. Valentina was our waitress and I don’t want anyone else than Valentina. She is patient, respectful, courteous. The food portions were big and shareable. The cocktails were great and reasonably priced for happy hour. We sat in the terrace and the vibe was great for a Tuesday. Will go back again ! Thank you for a great time.

Once we walked in the front door the hostess was off seating a family, but a young male server greeted us with a warm smile and said the hostess would be right with us. The hostess immediately came and seated us in our booth. The server immediately welcomed us and took our appetizer and drink order. The food was all in good pace and taste was right on point. The food, service and atmosphere was outstanding.
