First Time HereFood: I ordered the 8 oz steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus. All three items were amazing. The steak was extremely tender and easy to chew! For appetizers I got the calamari which was nice and crispy and the artichoke dip. Solid appetizers. Plenty of beers on top. I got the triple IPA.Service: The facility was clean and welcoming. The house was very kind and my servers were exceptional! Fast accurate and attentive.Final thoughts: The place can be pricey but the food is amazing and the service has always been great. After a meal you could take a nice walk around the area which is been beautified.
Nice upscale tap house with a good variety of food. We were seated in the patio which seemed pretty nice and the inside ambiance was pretty nice as well and would be a nice place for a date. The food was pretty good though service was a bit spotty. We had four kids with us and not all ate off the Children’s menu yet they treated all the kids with snacks and dessert which was a super nice touch and really appreciated so nobody felt left out.
Good bar, BEAUTIFUL hostess',at least the ones I saw. Oh yeah,they've got food there too. Oyster & sushi bars and a decent menu serving seafood from clam chowder to fish and chips. Located on the corner of Imperial Hwy and Brea Blvd. Probably a cool place for Sunday football. They have 8-10 big screen TV's. Price is moderate,there's an outside patio but no one was dining outside. Busy street has noise and probably kicks up dust on your food.
I went to Taps last night for a friends birthday celebration and it was amazing. Mostly because of the service from our fabulous server, Lindsay! She was amazing! Very professional with the ability to personally answer multiple questions and requests being flung at her from our large party. Yet she genuinely seemed to like us and she put up with us with a big smile the entire time. She was patient and kind she was never stressed even though I’d say we were a stressful bunch to deal with, lol. She was fast and efficient and always gave us her full attention as if we were her only table. The food was great and the kitchen staff must run very efficiently too as we never had to wait long. The ambiance was really great too. I like this place and can’t wait to try the brunch Lindsay told us about. I only hope we get Lindsay again next time I come to Taps!
I have now been to TAPS twice, both times with a large group. The first time was such a fun experience. Our bilingual server was helpful, knowledgeable about the menu and so incredibly kind. But let me tell you about this most recent experience. The young server was so dismissive, passed us often when we were trying to get his attention and took three laps before taking our food order. He also left our dessert tray after putting it next to us. One of my family members passed out the desserts to everyone because he was GONE. We had to ask for silverware, drink refills, napkins...he was not on it. It was such a sour experience. The food was ok, I feel like the experience overshadowed our meal. And it actually started out bad because our reservation was moved indoors at the very last minute. I made the reservation at least a month before (I want to say closer to 6 weeks prior) and the day of, I was messaged with the change. I couldn't cancel on my large party so I took the inside reservation but it was not what we agreed to. I have included a picture of the table side s'mores that he eventually came twice for because he needed to light it.
We brought our Crew for a team bonding event on a Tuesday night.Service was great, ribeye steaks were good. The change in menu for the Chilean seabass was disappointing, "if it ain't broke, why fix it" and the butter cake did not live up to expectations. I was hoping it was warm and moist it wasn't, it was cold and a bit hard but the taste was good. Overall a good experience.
We went with a party of 6 for brunch to celebrate a birthday. My wife thought it was good but I wasn't impressed. If u love oysters, and unlimited so-so champagne and a decent selection of stuff, then you might think that it's worth it. Again, something for everyone but not 5 star, not even 4 star food quality but definitely better than Golden Corral (but should be at $55)
Delicious and great drinks. Never had a complaint. Staff is courteous.
You might as well stay at home and make a sandwich because that's what I ended up doing. I've been hearing about this place for awhile and finally came here with a date. They were obviously busy, which is not their fault. We found a place at the bar and were happy there. The bartender was nice, but not super attentive (again, busy so understandable). The appetizers were a bit delayed but not too bad. The mushrooms were good; the lobster dumplings were so-so. We ordered entrees and after 45 minutes we hadn't been served! The ladies sitting next to us who arrived after us got their meal, though. We wanted to cancel the order and were offered to take it home. I'm not going to take cioppino home to eat cold out of a plastic container. I came to the restaurant to eat because I didn't want to eat at home. So my date says, "Just take me home." We paid the tab (yes, we paid and tipped on all the cocktails and appetizers we had) and left. The poor service killed the whole mood of the night. We left hungry and disappointed and irritated. I just made a sandwich when I got home. I wish we just stayed at home. Two thumbs down.
Thanks to all the great people at TAPS for a great 2021 Thanksgiving buffet. The selections were great and the team did a great job in keeping everything going on such a busy holiday. Our waitress and support team were great and provided great service. This was our first Thanksgiving dinner there (been going there since they opened) and we were not disappointed. Congrats to the team, great job and Thank you!
