    A great late night bar that makes you feel at home. The bar staff takes good care of you, and they have surprisingly good bread bowls.

    The dj Friday and Saturday night kills it. I look forward to the friendly staff and the fun crowd. I am glad I found this place.

    Always toooo cold during the day. Excellent service during days but customer comfort is not a priority.

    Stumbled upon this spot while wandering around after checking into the hotel next door…read more We grabbed a beer from the bar and settled onto one of the patios to take in the scenery. Ended up striking up a conversation with one of the employees, Blade, who was fantastic. We mentioned how much we admired the potted floral arrangements lining the patio, every detail felt so intentional and looked absolutely beautiful. Blade gave credit to one of the owners, Elvie Cartwright. Well Elvie, if you see this: you have an incredible green thumb and an artist's eye for beauty. Kudos. And excellent call on hiring wonderful staff like Blade.

    Taprock restaurant is a big beautiful building with lots of dining options, it always busy and…read moreusually there's a wait to be seated, we went on a weekday and had a 10 min wait, it was very busy at 4:30. Our seating was in the bar downstairs which was very busy and noisy which was ok for 2 of us unfortunately 2 of our party were deaf and that was an issue for visiting. Our dinners: clam linguine, small clams in butter wine sauce was good, lots of broth and noodles could have had more clams. Dinner salads were great, big, crisp and fresh. Hubby had the meatballs with whipped potatoes, not a big meal but very tasty. I often buy ribeye steaks at the Cartwright's market and they are wonderful. Cartwright's owns Taprock restaurant so I figured that's the steak they'd serve but no it was thin and tough like a top round steak, it was cooked med rare that I ordered. It wasn't cheap, won't order again. Margaritas were very good. Service was excellent and there was lots of hired help in all areas. Our waitress was attentive, personable and we enjoyed her service.

    This place smelled amazing when I walked by so I grabbed dinner here the last night of my vacation…read more The staff was friendly and told me to sit where I liked. I really appreciate it when places offer fancy non-alcoholic drinks. A+ presentation for the Cherry Blossom! Their soup, salad and ale bread entree was very good, and I was surprised by how much I liked the bread. The clam strips were just okay, served with a ton of sauce.

    We were excited to try due to the great reviews. It was very busy the staff was very busy and not…read morestanding around. But they didn't even say hey be with you until at least 15 minutes. Wait for drink wasn't bad for as busy as they were. Ordering food and receiving food took a bit. Again very busy. The chowder was very tasty. Could have been a little warmer. The stuffed mushrooms were not what I thought. I didn't realize they were breaded heavily and deep fried. Then they pile a little bit of seafood then Swiss cheese. The grease from them frying then they sat in the grease made everything mushy. Barely any seafood and they were not fresh it was frozen bagged mushrooms. The clam strips were also frozen bagged. Not fresh. Hardly any taste. The ladies that served us were super friendly and nice. And my cocktail was a nice proper cocktail. I didn't realize really like the service and the ambiance. Very friendly spot even from locals.

    "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." You couldn't pay me enough to ever step…read morefoot there again. Stopped around 1pm. Fairly empty. I finally stepped in by the bar so someone could even see I was there. Girl seated me but said she'd have to find a menu since they were all being used. Another wait. I order the $7 2 pancakes, scrambled eggs & substituted meat for fruit. Man takes my water order drink. Another wait, no water on 104° day outside. Girl finally comes back and says they don't have fruit so what else do I want instead. Another wait as she goes to find a menu again. Order an English muffin instead of fruit. Another wait. Girl finally brings 2 stone cold eggs of play-doh texture and scorched on top and 2 pancakes with a drop of butter in middle of one that was no bigger than a quarter & as flat as a quarter. She asks, "Anything else?" I said, "Some butter, please, my water, some blueberry syrup, my English muffin, and, oh yeah, some silverware too." Another wait. Eat my cold meal and waiting for check. Finally stand up as if I'm leaving. Girl comes from around corner to bring my bill. Another wait. Finally I asked the guy who never brought my water who was at next table if he could take my card to pay. He does and I left over 20% tip anyway since my bill was so small. Slink out the door unnoticed. There might as well have been a sign that said, "The customer is never right because we aim NOT to please." Statistics show that a bad review is 4 times more effective than one positive review. I ate there a year ago on the day they merged Applebees with IHOP. It was so abysmal that the manager gave me a $10 off coupon to use later that I never did. I predict this restaurant will disappear within a year, which is fine with me. I miss the old Applebees. 1 star is being generous.
