Whoever is in the kitchen baking this Irish soda bread needs to market this because it was farkin delicious!! Always good service. Good tap selection. I'm having a new Holland Dragon's Milk bourbon barrel stout which is far better than Guinness. Just my opinion Their cocktails are always well prepared and delicious. Crowd is always nice. We keep coming back read more

Located in a mostly residential.area, the restaurant is cosy. Our server was very good. The great reviews had us so excited, but we were very disappointed. The birria tacos were an embarrassingly small amount, 2 small tacos, for $18. Son said the sauce was more BBQ than birria My pulled.chicken tacos were 3 for $16, so a better portion size, but the seasoning made the chicken taste more like beef. Again, not as enjoyable. The Burger was cooked perfectly, but had no flavor. Husband said supermarket beef had more flavor. The handcut fries were terrific. Cooked perfectly. But they couldn't make up for the main meals not being worth it. Not going back. read more

Came here as a suggestion from a family member. This pub , is very cool and accommodating for large gatherings. Dim lighting and lots of table and chairs for seating . We sat at a booth by the window . I enjoyed the food options, we had steak and cheese eggs rolls , fries . The calamari was a miss for us it had a chili sauce which made it soggy . Otherwise our drinks were good and did its job . Here's a few pictures. read more

It was a surreal experience coming here, not due to anything with the restaurant, more so with the fact that most guests were on their way their way to the DethKlok concert just like us... and the restaurant had a definite hipster vibe. Anyway we arrived around...I'd say maybe 4:30 or 5pm. Service was quite prompt as we arrived before the rush. We felt well taken care of...and were slightly distracted by one of the servers who looked shockingly like Kris Holden-Ried. We took our time and ordered waaaay too much food for 3 people, but totally worth it as everything was fantastic. We ordered: Crispy Fried Rice Cake (holy deliciousness) Short Rib Birria Tacos (how do you make drool emoji show up in a review??) Steak Skewers (so well cooked) Saffron Arancini (was a special and takes yummy, but I was the only one to like them) Tap&Vine Burger (no idea on taste as my guy decided to inhale this and not try the small plates or share) Overall an awesome meal, and if we actually lived in the area, I'm sure we'd be back!! read more

We came here to meet a friend and had an enjoyable experience. The food was good and the drinks were tasty as well. We ordered the short rib flat bread, the grilled salmon and the Turkey burger. While the flat bread and salmon were very good, the turkey burger was a bit of a let down. Overall, it was a positive experience. We enjoyed the ambiance, and the comfy couches in the corner were a good place to sit and have a quiet conversation. The service was prompt and friendly. We'll visit again the next time we're in town. read more

Years later Tap and Vine still delivers! This very cool and unique restaurant is about a six minute drive to the Toyota Wallingford Arena and is a hidden gem of great service, delicious food and surprising convenience. It's a tapas bar with small plates but also has a very cool vibe, high quality food and excellent service. Definitely continues to be a five star recommendation for anyone looking for a pre-show dinner or snack. read more

The menu and food were creative and tasty. The ambience was nice too. Plenty of space which is something I am always happy to find. The service would have been better if there had been more than one waitress and one bartender waiting on the whole place. It always makes me feel bad for the employees when I go to a restaurant that is very understaffed. read more

I stumbled on this great restaurant during a business trip to New Haven. The restaurant was comfortable but refined. The staff was amazing, giving me tips to make the most of a fantastic restaurant. I enjoyed a couple Czech Pilsners from their extensive tap list (didn't have any wine, but I'd guess it's just as good). I had a heavy lunch so I chose some dishes that were a bit different from my usual dinner selections, I started with their pickled deviled eggs. The best 2 ways to have an egg combined! They did not disappoint. From there I selected a couple of their sharing plates, neither of which had any major proteins. Next time I go I'll definitely have some part of meat. In any event, their brussels sprouts are to die for, and would be great for a group of friends. My final food was the fried eggplant ribbons. They were sweet and savory. Menu set up perfect for getting together with friends, sharing food, drink, and company. Highly recommend! read more

I had a nice dinner at Tap & Vine. The flank steak with yuca fries hit the spot, I love fried yuca and like to order it when I can find it. The steak was a dense cut but the accompanying flavors worked well, even the cauliflower. They have an outstanding beer selection. Service is warm although I dined from the bar, I saw a lot of dates stop by during my visit. It is a good option in the area read more

I went to tap and Vine tonight with my friends for happy hour. Unfortunately they don't really have a happy hour. I went off their specials menu and had catfish tacos which were good. I wish I had come with a side of some kind of vegetable or salad. I like sitting outside on the patio and enjoying the evening. read more

We recently went to Tap and Vine for brunch and throughly enjoyed our experience. The staff was both welcoming and friendly and we received our food promptly. I particularly like their shareables of both sweet and savory choices. We shared the hush puppies and were not disappointed. I also ordered a bloody Mary and enjoyed that as well. I like the coziness of the place and as the season has now warmed up, the outdoor area is a great option for a nice dining experience. read more

Not only is the food incredible here, but the staff is as well! You will almost always be greeted by the owner, Hector when you walk in or see him around at some point of your dining experience which I find incredible. My favorite thing on the menu are the egg rolls But, really anything I have ordered has come out amazing! read more

first time patron & a very fine meal .Had the flatbread with bacon & shrimp definitely unique Various interesting fares available on the menu Will definitely go back read more

Awesome food. Friendly and quick service. Cozy bar atmosphere. Loved it and will definitely be back!

Stopped here for drinks and a bite before heading to the oakdale theater for a show. Did not disappoint. Sat at the bar and were immediately attended to. Great draught selection and a well poured drink to start us off. Decided to split some apps. Sishito peppers, garlic parm wings, and the sticky ribs were all on point and hit the spot. Great find for us being from out of town with a cool vibe. Wont venture anywhere else next time we are in town for a show. read more

Really glad I stopped for a drink and apps to-go. Had a nice chat with the bartender and the food was solid. Wish I hadn't forgotten that fried Calamari is a bad idea for take out. It steams in the container. However, was still very good! read more

Food was delicious - had the braised short rib flatbread and French onion soup. Yum! Highly recommend

Great find for unique "small" plates (though the portions are not small by any means). We love trying a variety of things and is very reasonably priced to do this. We had the fried rice cake (our favorite!), wings, deviled eggs (special), hush puppies, tenderloin skewers, and the arugula salad. All dishes were exceptionally good! They also have a selection of unique Mocktails, which is nice. Finished off with espresso crème brûlée and coffee. Service is super friendly, and they certainly do not rush you. Plan on a little extra time (though it could have been a one off, we were there for about 2 hours) read more

Tap and Vine has become a weekly staple for me and has consistently provided exceptional food and service. Located on Quinnipiac Street in Wallingford, this restaurant provides a comfortable dining experience with options to dine in their regular dining area, bar/bar area, and in the warmer months, a large outdoor patio. When you walk in you will likely meet Hector, the owner, offering a warm welcome. They offer a large selection of beverages with a rotating draft list, including several options for local beers. In addition to the regular food menu, a specials menu which changes weekly is offered. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, offering suggestions and recommendations if needed. One of my favorite menu items is the chicken sandwich served with a choice of mixed greens or French fries (Cajun or regular). Pictured below is the crispy fried rice cake which has become another favorite menu choice. It has texture, some heat, and a variety of seasonings which makes this dish extremely flavorful. I look forward to my weekly trip to Tap and Vine and highly recommend trying it out! read more

RACIST. Just walked into Tap & Vine with my daughter, her boyfriend and my grandchild. The restaurant was empty and it was 4:45pm. We asked for a 4 top and she looked around at the empty tables and a reservation book that didn't have a reservation until at least 6pm and told us she didn't have a table for us. We left and then I ran back in, alone, to question the situation and a different person (a man) was at the host stand and I asked for a 4 top and he seemed immediately able to give me a table. I'm white. My daughter, her boyfriend and my grandchild are black. If I could give zero stars I would, I can't comment on their food/service, because I wasn't afforded the opportunity, except for the racism. Cancel Tap & Vine. read more

Food is good. Service exemplary. Owner and staff are quality folks. After a long day who wants to settle?

Great meal and atmosphere- very good service will be back! Would've stayed for another glass of wine

We just did take out and it was great! My husband had the salmon, I had the short ribs and we got an order of the hush puppies. Everything was hot and tasted great at home. We also had an order of the cheesecake egg rolls which were a great sweet treat. Definitely will be back! read more

The food was excellent. We had Steak n Cheese Egg-rolls & Buffalo Wings as starters. The best steak n cheese eggrolls we've had. As a meal we had the New Burger. It was cooked to perfection. Our espresso martinis were delicious. The service was excellent! The ambiance was very nice, very clean.. highly recommended. We shall return. read more

We set out to find some place new to try in the Wallingford area before an event we were going to attend and based on other reviews decided to try Tap & Vine. In short - not at all disappointed with our choice :) We got there just before they got really busy and were seated quickly. We decided to try a few of their "shareables" as a way to sample more. We ordered the short rib flatbread, the ricotta fritters, and the brussels sprouts. hard to say which we liked the most they were all awesome. We will definitely be back - if it were a little closer to where we lived I could see this being a new regular stop for us! read more

I stopped in on the way home from Boston. What a great find. Everyone was smiles as I walked in; the staff was so pleasant. Sat outside on the lovely patio and it seemed like a true team effort to make sure everyone was satisfied. The special Truffle Burger was amazing and the side salad had just the right amount of dressing for me. Thank you for a lovely dinner break for a long drive. Loved Igor's Dream. A perfect accompaniment to a burger. read more

Poor customer service we sat at the bar that had 3 other couples that had already been served after about 5 minutes of not being acknowledged we left. I was very disappointed we read such great reviews and being new in town we were excited to find somewhere great so close to home. DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A smile, a hello, an I'll be right with you would have more than satisfied my expectations It would for sure be zero stars if allowed read more

Service was decent. I ordered the peach 77 drink. It was pretty good but I tried the sparkling raspberry margarita was delicious! I also ordered the Brussels sprouts. They were completely burnt. No one at the table could even identify what I ordered. I sent them back and they attempted to accommodate. But I then tried the steak eggrolls ..... BOMB! read more

We have been going to Tap and Vine for years now and it truly does get better each time. The food, drinks, and atmosphere, not to mention the friendly and funny staff! I asked if I could have a side of honey mustard and unfortunately, they didn't carry honey mustard. Joe automatically volunteered to make me some. I insisted it wasn't necessary, but that was incredibly kind of him. I continued eating my delicious breakfast burger (try their brunch on Sundays from 12:30-2:30pm!) and a few minutes later, Joe popped out of the kitchen stirring a small silver cup full of homemade honey mustard. I know it was just mixing some honey and mustard, but he did something that meant so much. That is the kind of service you receive at Tap and Vine that keeps you going back for more! read more

What a cool spot in downtown Wallingford! We came early on a Saturday night and had no trouble getting a seat. The parking lot is a bit tight, so you may have to park elsewhere if it's busy. Service was awesome. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. Her recommendation of the tacos on special was perfect. My wife's salad was good as well. And they have a great selection of CT beers on tap. I thought the dining area was pretty cool. It's an older building with some nice brickwork and hardwood floors. They've done a nice job with the decor. We'll be back. Great local spot for us. read more

The first time I stopped in was for drinks only. I'm a beer drinker so I was happy with their tap list. I came in for appetizers last Saturday with friends that come here regularly. We had Mac & Cheese with chorizo which was phenomenal! The Philly egg rolls are sooooo good too! I came back in with my work crew yesterday afternoon. The wings, French fries, Mac & cheese, and egg rolls were devoured but my crew washed down with a could good beers from their impressive tap list! We are most definitely coming back soon! read more
