There was a big line up for the Cactus Club so we slid over to Tap & Barrel, found out we could have a drink at the bar and wait for 15 minutes and then ... then we were given the most spectacular seats right next to the water. I mean: sure, the calamari was fine, and I REALLY like the interesting BC white wine that I tried, and my pal didn't comment on his Thai Curry (which he would have if it was bad) and I thought that Truffle Macaroni and Cheese was fine: not too rich, but rich, tasty and al dente. But who cares with a view and table like this: it was awesome. And can I say this? The waiters, not just one or two, but nearly all of them, were ridiculously good-looking. We didn't harass them. But yes, good looking. Just saying.
And this post wraps up the 2019 Dineout Vancouver Festival for me. Originally Grayson and I were just going to go to Mulligan’s but we decided to go to the Tap & Barrel one as well because their menu sounded pretty tasty too. Originally we were both going to each order a Dineout menu set but we realized that we would just be ordering the same items so we opted to order one set and an entree off their dinner menu instead.
Big shout out to Tap and Barrel Coal Harbour. Staff were super attentive. One of the servers who was on his first day and trying a bit too hard spilled a minute amount of one of our dishes as he was serving. Not a big deal at all he obviously informed the head waitress (or manager, my apologies if that's a completely wrong title) who came to check on us to make sure we were still okay. Then they brought complimentary cheesecake, even though we hadn't complained. Honestly, there was nothing to complain about. Food was good too, and the setting is awesome. Nice to have a really good service experience once in a while. Cheers and thank you!
