Best Restaurants for People Watching in Stanley Park

I can’t tell you much I appreciate that you have both. Kids menu and a plant based section on your menu! It’s so nice to find a modern, yet casual, restaurant that can accommodate the needs of my whole family. I also really appreciate that you have tofu for your plant based diners, because a lot of places that have vegan options only serve you vegetables, and vegans want/need/deserve protein, too!! So happy with our experience at tap & barrel!!

We tried this restaurant as we all thought great steakhouse. It was a work lunch so we were all polite and ate our steaks. After when I said wellwhat did you think, 2 said ok and 2 a smigde over cooked. I had new york Chicago medium, it looked on the outside exactly the same as the new york medium rare on the outside. Couldn't tell if mine was Chicago or his was. The trio of sauces were yummy and really helped the overcooked steak. Potatoes were great vegetables tasty but small portion. It was ok just not wow.

I initially saw the post about the Christmas lunch buffet on Instagram. I figured it would be a wonderful experience for my parents. The buffet was great with a huge variety. All of the staff were so courteous and helpful. I believe our server's name was Dwayne, super nice and helpful. Thankyou so much! It was a very festive and yummy lunch buffet.

Our pizza and Espresso martinis were really good. Our server made my birthday celebration very special.

We had a fabulous evening! We sat on the heated patio, which was decorated beautifully for the holiday season! The food was wonderful and the service was incredible! It was a perfect setting for our annual girls Christmas night! We will definitely be back! ❤️
