    We went with great expectation having read previous reviews and were so disappointed particularly with the service. Definitely not a service with a smile at all (at any point), no checking in to see if everything was ok with our food (mains was only like warm and the mussels were the smallest I’d ever seen) and no offer of desert/coffee - which we would have had to try and elevate our food experience. So unfortunately the experience over all left us very flat.

    Second time here in a week. Lovely food. Enjoyed the mussels as a shared starter and both had pasta dishes which were delicious. I would recommend you book which we did as it was Friday and busy. Highly recommend this place 😎

    The food we had here was the best out of all the food we had on our week in Malta. The service was also very good. It is popular so it is best to book

    This restaurant looks cool and great BUT the food is dreadful. We booked and they eventually found the reservation but had no tables initially but then an outside table became available which we took. The ambience is good sitting in a busy lively area. We ordered the lamb with a jus and tagliatelle with half a lobster. The lamb was basically a stew with a thick congealed gravy on a mass of mashed potato BUT was cold. It was slop!! The lobster was so over cooked that it had a stringy consistency and so was inedible. They offered to cook it again but we decided to finish our drinks and leave. They offered nothing for the inconvenience of waiting 45’minutes for the food which was then inedible and cold. We went to Aki around the corner and had the best Sushi you will find anywhere. Don’t bother with Taproom.
