    While the ambience was loud and fun, we are older and found it hard to hear conversations with our friends and family. The food was ok, but not really warm enough. We’d go again, but maybe for lunch rather than a Saturday night. It would be quieter and not so busy so the food would be warmer!
    Tap & Barrel • ShipyardsResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for your feedback, Gerri! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the lively atmosphere, though we understand it may not have been the ideal setting for easy conversation. We appreciate your comments about the food temperature and will be sure to pass that along to our kitchen team. A quieter lunch visit sounds like a great idea, and we’d love to welcome you back then for a more relaxed experience. Thanks again for your thoughtful review!

    Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful, and service was efficient. There is a good selection to choose from on both the drinks and food menus. I had a Korean Chicken Salad which was delicious. I enjoyed the ambiance of the venue and the vibe was nice. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will return to try the PB & J burger!

    Very nice experience - it was on a busy, busy Mother's Day, and the servers were racing around to keep everyone happy. Food was very good - the Squid appy is fantastic and everything else very good. We'll be back.

    As always everything was great! Our server was attentive and speedy. The deep fried pickles were a delight as always. And the fact you have Strongbow on tap is the cherry on top!
