    The Shipyards location is great. It is the favourite choice of places to eat for my Grandson and I when I visit him in North Vancouver from Ontario. My salad did not present as advertised in the menu as it was missing most of the toppings. The kids meal was good. The fish and chips were fair. Our server Kathryn, was good, however we were not informed that there was a happy hour menu.

    Thank you for your feedback, Suzanne. We're glad to hear you and your grandson enjoy visiting us. We apologize for the salad not meeting expectations and appreciate your comments about the happy hour. We'll address these concerns with our team to improve your experience next time.

    We came at 7pm, the server took our order after 10 minutes of waiting. We waited for our food for 35 minutes which is very disappointing. Oir server didn't check much on us. Even drinks took so long. And lastly, the bill! We waited for so long for our server to come to us so we ask someone else for our bill!

    This venue is an excellent choice for summertime visits, offering a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a variety of great drink options. However, it is important to note that there can be an issue with summer bugs, which occasionally drop into food and drinks due to the surrounding trees in the patio area. Overall, it's a lovely place to enjoy the season, but guests should be aware of this potential inconvenience.
    Tap & Barrel • ShipyardsResponded on June 29, 2025
    Thanks for the great feedback, David! We're glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and our drink selection. We appreciate your note about the summer bugs; we’re always working to improve the experience for our guests. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more sunny days!
