   Staff were welcoming and service was attentive. They easily accommodated my wheelchair! Food was delicious. Server forgot one drink order, and the noise level could have benefited from some dampening, but I enjoyed the experience very much and will be returning.

   Not an extensive menu, but something for everyone, leaning toward local suppliers. Delicious burgers, reasonably priced. Solid craft beer list. Jolly server. Cozy tavern atmosphere, as name promises. Convenient to State Theater and museum of art.

   I don’t know what has happened at Little Tap House. We’ve been going there for years and it’s always been good, but last night was really disappointing. Service was fine, but the food was not good (almost awful). My wife and daughter didn’t like their dinners (shrimp tacos with very little flavor and roasted Brussels sprouts smothered in some kind of cheese, a very unusual preparation). But, it was my mushroom risotto that was the worst. Rather than having the Parmesan stirred into the rice, it was simply a few shavings on top of what tasted like boiled rice. I don’t think it was even Arborio rice. It was super bland (complete opposite of what risotto should be) and had hardly any mushrooms in it. Honestly, I feel I could have made something better from a box for $3 rather than spending $27 on this. I really hate to be critical of a place we’ve supported and enjoyed for a long time, but last night’s meal was truly terrible. I hope the old Little Tap House comes back to life.

   Great selection of Maine beers on tap. Our group tried almost all the starters and they were great! I will definitely go back. Great pub atmosphere and our waitress was friendly and attentive.

   Food took an hour and a half. They seemed to be understaffed. Food was also cold, over cooked and just generally not good. Seems like they need some help.

   We showed up for a 445 reservation. We made a reservation for a dining room table, and was put in the bar area at a high top next to a group of 8 people standing around the high top, extremely tight and uncomfortable. The host mentioned they had several people come in without reservations, so I’m assuming they gave our table up even though we showed up 3 minutes early. We then waited 15 minutes for a server who never showed up. The hostess attempted to take our drink order, but those drinks never made it to our table. We left after almost 20 minutes and walked to down the street to another restaurant (which was great) Pretty awful experience, definitely won’t be back. I do recommend lazzari which is a 2 minutes from this place, thankfully they salvaged a bust of a date night.

   Lovely Manhattan and fries were hot and crispy. The Brussels sprouts were tasty but over cooked. Double smashed burger is hearty and comforting. Our waiter was attentive but invisible which was great so we focused on the companions.

    I couldn't read the menu because our table was so dark. It was hard to converse because it was so loud; not rowdy drunk loud but simply horrible acoustics. We ordered beers and apps to start and the waitress said the kitchen really prefers to have our entire order at once. We told her we weren't sure whether wanted more and she relented. The baked brie didn't taste anything like any brie we have ever had. The poutine had thin salty gravy and the fries were skinny shoestring with an off flavor. Kudos for using real cheese curd. We didn't finish either app. Saccarappa IPA & Allagash White were the stars of our visit. Easily the bottom of the list of the 6 locally owned restaurants we visited during our weekend trip.

    Typical pub hustle and bustle but the food was artful and so intentionally flavorful. Our waiter was excellent, as was my cherry-infused bourbon old fashioned. Topper was the cheesecake- so creamy and full is subtle flavor. Little Tap House is now part of our regular rotation.

    My wife and I love this sleeper restaurant and bar. The cuisine is far more sophisticated than one might think when walking into what looks more like the corner pub. Many locals go there for the vibe and for the huge assortment of local craft beers, but we go there for the food along with that inviting atmosphere (and great beers!).

    Overall an enjoyable evening. Lively crowd, great atmosphere. Our dinners, duck special and the artic char, weren't as good as they have been in the past - but that's a first. Our server was very nice, professional and on top of things.

    The place is comfy and delicious. The scallops, butter salad and Brussels sprouts were to die for, and while the poutine was pretty good, it definitely could have used more cheese curds. Our food came out quickly, and the service was great. Will definitely go again next time we’re in Portland.

    Experience was miserable. 45 min late seating, in the darkest dining room I have ever experienced, service was slow, mussles were dangerously undercooked and the accompanying spicy cream sauce sauce was cold, mushroom tagliatele bolognese was insultingly nasty, and the wine list was weak with nothing that complimented food at the price point this restaurant sells itself as deserving.

    Loved the ambience & service, a little low-light for older eyes to read the menu. The menu was disappointing in that it was so limited. We’d seen some menus online before arriving and none of the items we were looking forward to were on the menu. Great fries. Will check out the current menu better before we go again.

    Probably won’t go back, one of people in our party spent $34 for a piece of dried up halibut, thought the place was a little expensive for what you get. If I went back it would be for a beer and a burger

    Little Tap House is the quintessential great local restaurant, reflecting the friendliness of service and the high quality of the food. The menu is short with focus rightfully placed on quality over quantity of choices. Start with a cocktail or select from a long list of beers (including lots of dark beers which I love!). Our table raved about the chowder, smash burger, hangar steak and fish tacos (special of the night). Try one of the fancy desserts to end a great meal!
