We always enjoy eating here. Our waitress was excellent. I ordered the cold lobster roll and it was the best that I have eaten. My wife enjoyed her burger. We look forward to returning.

Pretty good meal. Chicken wings and lamb croquettes were the best. The server was a bit sassy and not as helpful as I think she could have been. I kindly asked her to please split my Burger in two and she said, “it’s soft enough to cut (for me to do it myself).” I really don’t know why that small courtesy is difficult to complete. Overall, ok experience.

First time there and I wasn’t overly impressed with the service or the portion size of the food, especially for the cost of it. It was all pretty mediocre. Definitely a time thing for me.

Went for the roasted brussel sprouts - while tasty they were not what expected...... did not seem roasted at all, no crispiness, consistency was as if they had been steamed and expected blue cheese crumbles... but got a sauce instead. Overall pretty good just fell short of expectations and the "eat drink lucky" photo that got us there. Fantastic atmosphere

Great place for food and drink. We were immediately greeted and seated. Had a choice of bar seating, high tops or a regular table. We ordered pasta with clams and thai chili wings. Wonderfully prepared. Had a few wines as well at happy hour prices 4PM to 6PM. Be sure to mention the happy hour request.

Little Tap House never misses. Our server last night created a great genuine dining experience for us. I will be talking about the honeycomb in my dessert for weeks to come.

We aren't from Portland, so we found the place by happenstance because our first choice was booked. The atmosphere was cozy on a cold, rainy day. Both my meal and my wife's was very good. The Brussel sprout appetizer was slightly underdone, but still tasty. The service was very good. We agreed it would be nice to have a place like this near us, and we live near Portsmouth.

The food and drinks were excellent, especially the risotto and the swordfish. Our server was just the right amount of bubbly, very helpful and knowledgeable. Top notch! The vibe is fantastic and we did not feel crowded, for a very busy fairly small room.

My experience was okay. Food was average, nothing special. Kind of disappointed in the poutine. Not enough cheese curds and the gravy was very salty. They were out of the Sangria, so I ordered a specialty tequila drink and it was very strong. Service was good and the ambiance was great.

I go out for creative food - I don't want what I could easily cook at home. The Little Tap room, though a bar, does incredibly well with their salads, entrees, appetizers and desserts. Very delish!

Super busy night with 3 concerts in town, but the crew handled well. Bar kept up, wait staff super friendly and accommodating. Food was quite tasty, but brie wasn't as warm and gooey as I would have liked (I think they were just hustling to get food out) but the compote with it was super tasty. Small and intimate but bigger than it looks- we will for sure be back.

Little Tap House never disappoints. Consistent food, service, and vibe. Had a great time with happy hour cocktails (though the house wine was "meh"), yummy salads and a great burger. Was expecting something more for Restaurant Week -- they offered $20 bottles of wine (which I did not check out) but no food deals. Still enjoyed ourselves!
