Best Restaurants for People Watching in Downtown

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.

We had a fabulous evening! We sat on the heated patio, which was decorated beautifully for the holiday season! The food was wonderful and the service was incredible! It was a perfect setting for our annual girls Christmas night! We will definitely be back! ❤️

Alouette was the perfect spot for our anniversary dinner 😍 everything was excellent from the moment we walked in the door.

We had a great early evening light dinner. It was a very busy scene and quite noisy but nevertheless the atmosphere was nice and cozy. We ordered a couple of cocktails including the sushi caesar, Poinsettia and Shibuya but I’d say my favourites were the Shibuya and Poinsettia. The caesar is more on the spicy side. Out of all the food we ordered which included the crispy rice with salmon, scallop miso soup and uni sashimi, etc., the favourites were the seared red tuna, rosemary salted fries and most favourite of all was the Superfood salad with chicken (healthy and delicious). The prices are on the expensive side but to be expected since it is a high-end hotel. The service was excellent, waiter/waitress were attentive and the maître d was first class. Definitely a great place to hang out of for snacks and drinks.
