I love Tap & Barrel and have visited their Olympic Village location many times before! This was my…read morefirst time at their Shipyards location. They have a very big patio seating which is perfect for the summer. It was 6 of us and we went there on a Saturday night without reservations and got a spot right away. I was a little disappointed with their food here. We got their nachos which came out in less than 5 mins after ordering but it felt like they were made awhile ago and just reheated in the oven. The chips were burnt (did not taste fresh) and it was very dry. We also got their rigatoni pasta which was too salty, the sauce was not cooked well. Usually when their fries are super crispy and my favourite but this time they had gotten soggy. Even the Forager Chicken was over cooked and chewy to eat. Maybe it was a busy day for them? It was my friend's birthday so they got her a little dessert which was nice of them!

So we came back and my daughter ordered the Babka French Toast again. She didn't ask me to share it…read morewith her but simply made sure to stop eating after she had finished about half the dish. Much appreciated as this allowed me to order something different. I had The Classic which came with Eggs, mushroom & broccolini, potato rosti, baked beans, roasted tomato and housemade sourdough. We also ordered a Nutelle Hot Chocolate and Matcha Oat Latte. I loved The Classic. While I do enjoy trying new things all the time, I think I'm a Classic girl at heart. I often fight the urge to order the tried and true for the sake of trying new things, but I'm ever so happy on those occasions where I give in and order something more Classic. Baked beans and toast remind me of family trips to England. Havn't gone for one of those in years, but I do have some good memories of them. When they're on sale here, we sometimes like to buy cans of Heinz British style baked beans, and I sometimes make my own homemade version of baked beans to store in our freezer. I don't often see baked beans on brunch menus so this was a bit of a special occasion for me to be able to order something with baked beans for brunch. Personally, I would have preferred the beans to have been just a little bit softer. Nothing wrong with them. They were fully cooked but perhaps just a little bit firmer than I'd have liked. I prefer my beans very soft and I tend to be like that with a lot of foods in general. My hubby prefers his foods firmer, and I like my foods softer. It's a personal preference. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed this dish and am very likely to order it again sometime! Oh, the potato rosti in my dish was awesome as well. This meal was so filling though that I only ate one small corner of the potato rosti and then took the rest home to eat as I was very full already from everything else I had eaten from the plate.

Wow how did I miss this place which is just across from the Lonsdale Quay marketplace? Wonderful…read morebrunch spot with fantastic pastries and friendly staff. - Baked custard tart at Catch 122 - basically a giant Dan Tat. If you love Dan tats you got to get this. - all of the other pastries looked incredible and I will be back for sure to try them. - the mushroom toast is like Instagram worthy. It comes with this amazing fried I'm not sure what but it's great looking. Poached eggs too. - side of potatoes comes in a pan with aioli on top of each one. The aioli is fantastic. The potatoes crunchy and flavourful but not too fried at all. - ok the highlight for me is the KFC fusion Dutch baby. I've never heard of a dish like this before. The classic Dutch baby pancake with Korean ingredients - gochujang flavoured KFC, kimchi, veggies, an egg in the middle bibimbap style. The chicken is good although the sauce a bit uneven - some extra spicy hot spots. The ingredients come together really well and the Dutch baby is fantastic. I'll be coming back for sure!!!

Came here for dinner so my poutine obsessed daughter could get her poutine fix for dinner. She…read moreordered the Classic poutine as she usually does and a Virgin Blue Hawaiian drink. I ordered an individual size Baja Nomad Nachos. I also ordered a Virgin Witch's Rock drink. We also used up a few coupons that we had for free tacos and ordered Ancho Chicken Taco, Grilled Basa Fish Taco, and Garden Veggie Taco. Forgot to tell the server "no cilantro" so ummm...food wasn't quite as good as usual but I'm not deducting points for that cuz that was our own mistake for forgetting to say "no cilantro." (Big sigh) It's such a pain though to have to keep on remembering to say that everywhere we go. Why don't restaurants realize that not everyone likes cilantro and make it a policy to bring it up with customers? Why don't they remind the customers that there's cilantro in a dish and then ask if the customer is OK with it? Anyone reading this right now is probably thinking I should just get over it and deal with it. I'm really just venting I suppose. The cilantro problem is just hugely annoying for both my daughter and I.

My family came here to have brunch. Great menu and it wasn't crowded when we came, at 11 though it…read morewas raining hard. Their specialties seem to be the pulled pork and the bacon. Lots of Benedict's so I naturally had to have one. The good - the meats are really good especially the pulled pork. Very tender and flavourful. The bacon is decent. Altogether the Benedict's are decent though next time I'll focus on the pulled pork. The egg I asked for medium - not really runny. Though that's a really small criticism.

We saw a lot of people eating here one evening, so we came back a couple nights later. It was…read moreactually empty when we visited, except for one table that was doing a stream of their dining experience (and being slightly loud/annoying). I eat Korean pretty regularly, fwiw, the food was ok, but not amazing. We both had a bibimbap. It didn't come in the typical hot stone bowl, instead, it was just in a large bowl. So, no crispy rice at the bottom, oh well. It did come with a side of kimchi, but no banchan, apparently they don't have that. We had barley tea, but the waitress didn't come back to check on us until we were almost done, so we didn't get a refill until the the of the meal. I would probably give 3.5 stars, but feel like they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Not as good as the last time we came. Food was good overall but service fell short somewhat…read more Came here with family. We all ordered our own individual dishes. I just had an Original Gimbap and a Vege Gimbap for myself. It was a hot summer's day so I just didn't feel like ordering hot food. Everyone else ordered hot food though. My daughter has been getting into Tonkatsu at Japanese restaurants for awhile now. So when she saw Chicken Katsu on the menu here, she decided to give that a try. It was just OK for her. No comparison to any of the pork Tonkatsu dishes that she's been having at Japanese restaurants. She still ate it all up though and it was a huge portion. Other dishes on the table included Seafood Noodles, Pork Kimchi Stew, Soft Tofu Stew, Fried Chicken, and Kimchi Fried Rice. My one gripe would be that they took a super long time bringing out my daughter's Chicken Katsu. Everyone else had their food for quite awhile but she sat waiting and waiting for her Chicken Katsu. When we asked about it, they said it was coming soon. But that's what they always say when you ask about something that's taking a long time to come, right? Wondering if they actually completely forgot about it and then put in a rush order at the kitchen when we brought it up.

We tried a few of their signature à la carte items.  Here's the rundown: * Rollio Morning Big Bowl - This super-filling bowl is packed with flavour.  It's the kind of breakfast bowl that keeps you full and happy all day. * Massive Strawberry Mascarpone French Toast - This thing is massive.  Fluffy, creamy, sweet, and totally drool-worthy.  Our fave for sure! * Lonsdale Lobster Trio - A solid choice!  Classic lobster in toasty buns--simple and tasty. * Korean Street Fried Chicken - Crispy, juicy, and straight-up addictive.  Another top pick! * Korean BBQ Beef (Bulgogi) - Tender, flavourful, and hits all the right Korean BBQ notes. * Okinawa Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu) - Crispy on the outside and juicy inside.  Comfort food! Everything was flavourful, and the portions were generous, perfect for sharing. If we had to pick just two favourites, we'd go with the French Toast and Korean Fried Chicken--absolute winners!

This hidden gem in North Van serves classic diner dishes and comfort food all made from scratch…read more There were nostalgic vibes and service was amazing. The portions are huge and every dish is made with quality ingredients. French onion grilled cheese with shoestring fries: I got a nice cheese pull out of this, it satisfied all my cheesy cravings. It came with a generous amount of fries. Denver-ish breakfast bowl: order this if you want a nice variety for breakfast. I added avocado and it was so satisfying. Bacon eggs benny on housemade buttermilk biscuits with hashbrowns: fresh hollandaise over perfectly cooked eggs. The buttermilk biscuit is so much better than an English muffin. I absolutely loved the shredded hashbrowns. Strawberry milkshake: you need to try their hand spun milkshakes! Topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, I felt like a kid again.

Went back for lunch today and had a much more streamlined experience. We sat outside as it was a…read morebeautiful day, and the hanging baskets supplied a barrier from the street noise and activity, as well as plenty of cover. My Reuben was very good, a good sized sandwich that I took half of home. The fries were nice and hot and plentiful, although salted, which I prefer to do myself. A light salting out of the fryer I get, but lightly please. K's chicken burger seemed a little light on the flavour side of the equation, and frankly needed a smaller plate so it would look like a bigger serving. She opted for the tater tots, instead of fries, which tasted good, of a little salty, and shy on portion. Our server was great, kept checking up on us, and was pleasantly attentive. We wanted to love it during our first visit, but the tea fiasco just overshadowed everything else. We are glad we returned, as this visit was far better than our first overall.
