Came here for a nice lovely afternoon meal outside and the place did not disappoint. We did some shopping in the area and all very much enjoyed our meals. Our table had two apps to share (dumplings and the brushetta). The dumplings were crunchy and flavorful and the brushetta blend tasted wonderful. For mains my wife had the lobster roll, my kiddo had the chicken Mac and cheese and I had a beef dip. All of our mains were good and flavorful but felt like something more from a chain place then some of the other shops in the area. Seating and area was awesome and service was good.

Absolutely five-star worthy. The staff will proactively bring you to a great seat with a view, and sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the light rain fall over Granville, feels very relaxing.The shrimp is huge, handled really well, butterflied, with a slightly charred, buttery depth underneath.🌿 Seasonal dish: the Miso Sablefish is really delicious. The coconut broth is rich, paired with chili sauce, and the flavor is layered. The scallions are done beautifully, and the rice has a sticky, chewy texture without falling apart in the broth. The napa cabbage and mushrooms add a lot of texture.The burger is also surprisingly well made — the meat is fresh, fragrant, and juicy.

Lovely spot in an iconic location on Granville Island. It would be easy for this to be a tourist trap but the food and drinks options were all top quality. Our server (a Spanish guy) was incredibly friendly and the staff were all very welcoming of our raucous toddler running around. Didn't manage to get too many photos but the gochujang chicken bowl I had was lovely. A brilliant place to spend a sunny afternoon

The host at the entrance literally set the whole mood, super welcoming and warm, you could tell right away it was going to be a good experience. The vibe inside is amazing, cozy but still modern, with that waterfront setting making it feel even better especially in the evening. The lighting, seating, everything just makes you want to sit and relax. And the food… you can tell the kitchen team is seriously good just by looking at the plates. Everything came out clean, well presented, and not rushed at all. The mac & cheese was creamy and comforting without being too heavy, the pizza had that perfect crust...crispy outside, soft inside with fresh toppings that actually balanced well, not overloaded. The mains were just as good, especially the mushroom-loaded dish with mash and greens, super f

Visited Tap & Barrel Bridges and ordered the Tap Burger, while my wife had the Shrimp and Scallop Spaghetti.The highlight of this place is definitely the great view from the front glass windows, which makes it a nice spot to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The food was good overall, and the staff were friendly and attentive.One thing to keep in mind is that the ambience can get quite loud, so it may not be the best choice if you're looking for a quieter place to have a conversation.Overall: A nice place to hang out with friends or for group get-togethers, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and a good view.

The staff will proactively bring you to a great seat with a view, and sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the light rain fall over Granville, feels really relaxing. The seasonal dish: the Miso Sablefish is really delicious.
