    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!!

    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.
