    Our server was great. Very accommodating with my food allergy. It was pretty loud, but it was Friday night and people were having a good time. The food was terrific. We had the halibut special and the buttermilk chicken sandwich. The drinks were great - highly recommend the lychee martini!

    Amy our server was GREAT and let us take our time. Food and beverages were good as well and served timely w/o being rushed. Noise level was moderate due to very busy Friday night. I only gave it a 3 out of 5 stars due to very high food prices. We are not cheap when dining out but, 4 people (3) beers (2) house cabs (1) dirty martini (1) cheese tray app (3) fish & chips (1) bowl of soup $190 + tip $238 Gave waitress 25% for wonderful service! A little extreme for a Tap and Tavern spot even for Las Olas! 😎

    Food was good. Nothing extraordinary. The service was excellent. As someone else mentioned, the bathrooms need attention.

    They don't mention anywhere on their website that their main menu is not available before 5:00pm. Then they would not let us order drinks until dinner menu was available. We ordered salads and burger. Everything was over spiced, even though specific requests were made for no pepper. The manager came over to replace the meal covered in black pepper. He commented that "it's not pepper". Well, if it black, spicy, and flaky like ground pepper it is pepper. The food was nothing more than basic bar food. Thye only thing that was good was the mac & cheese. It was way too expensive for salads and a burger. Won't be going there again.
