    Overall, we were quite pleased with everything except for 2 things. 1) why wouldn't a restaurant that serves top-priced steak, NOT have any horseradish? I agree that having fresh is best, I think having a jar of good quality store-bought horseradish available is better than nothing. That's like french fries with no ketchup! 2) The weather outside wasn't below zero but there was a cold draft coming from the back door and didn't subside all throughout dinner. There wasn't a separation from the back door into the seating area and the cold was coming right through to the tables, where we were directly sitting. Would visit again but maybe try in the Summertime and sit outside.

    Loved it. The duo on guitar and bongo drum sang wonderfully, at just the right volume. Thanks to Brad for attentive service, not too intrusive but perfectly paced. The food was tasty and I especially loved that both the soups were served piping hot in hot bowls. Such a nice touch. My savoury tart was rich and delicious and my companions duck leg was perfection. Definitely worth a return visit or several. We spent a very happy hour and a half. Highly recommended.

    There is something special about going to a restaurant that is Not a chain and Tap is a special place. Unique dishes, delicious soup and a warm and friendly atmosphere. Have never been disappointed any time we have eaten here. Very accommodating when celebrating a special occasion. Would highly recommend Tap Restaurant!!!!!

    The food and service were excellent. We never felt pressed to expedite the meal in order to fill the table again. One thing we enjoy, is a nice bar to relax in before dinner or even eat in on occasion. Tap does not have one but it will not deter us from going again. A friend recommended Tap as we had never heard of it before. A little jewel nestled in South Surrey.

    Went for the first time with a couple friends on a busy Saturday night. We had reservations for 8 o’clock and when we arrived the restaurant was packed and we had to wait for a few minutes before they had our table ready. They were very attentive while we were waiting and actually brought a couple appies and a tasting of some red wine, which was a nice touch. Once seated we liked the cozy environment, tables were tightly packed into the modest sized restaurant. For the appetizers my wife tried the Sambuca prawns and I tried the terrine. The prawns were very tasty but only four in the serving. The terrine was fabulous - came with a wide assortment of accompaniments - small gherkins, sprouts, pseeds, roasted garlic and more as well as a generous serving of crustini. For the main course my wife ordered the filet with the Bay of Fundy scallops add on. I ordered the full rack of lamb. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her meal although she mentioned later that it was a rather small serving and needed the scallops to quench her appetite. My rack of lamb was absolutely fabulous, very generous serving, they were done perfectly, probably the best rack of lamb I’ve ever had!! The reduction and seasoning was delicious!! Overall the service was great and the food was definitely above average and I’m looking forward on returning soon to try some other menu items.

    A perfect evening started with Prosecco and terrine appetizer. Then on to the Farm To Table dinner. Well executed Gnocchis and Lamb for a first course, then a Beef Ragout Pasta paired with a TULI Pinot Noir. Apple Tarte Tatin for dessert - amazing! Such a great treasure right in our neighbourhood. Many more visits to come!

    Food and service is generally excellent. I had the duck leg for an entree and it was excellent. My appetizer a bit less so, golden beet tapenade that ended up being a bit soggy. The wine list is a bit too heavy on the upper end of the price range, and markups are a bit above double liquor store price. A good dining experience but watch the wine choices.
