    Everyone was friendly and helpful. We were seated just a few minutes after our reservation time. We were celebrating our anniversary, another family was celebrating 2 birthdays. It was noisy, but all in fun. The "cook" was very entertaining, and so happy. The food was delicious, and enough for another meal. We plan to do this again soon.

    We had a wonderful Valentines dinner and they offered a single rose to each woman as a small token. We did ask to be reseated, the whoe place has a wonderfull dimly lit ambience except this one room they tried to seat us. Super bright, white walls instead of the wood panels and a cheesy large screen TV playing a virtual fireplace. Once re seated we were very happy. The only other issue and the deductiion of a star waa the broccoli cheese side dish. For some reason our serving was all small bits of stalks and no flowerets. The rest of the meal, the steaks, cheeseboard, potatoes were all excellent. Still a great dinner out, has been awhile since I visited there.

    Had an amazing time at The Tap Room! The atmosphere was fantastic, with a great selection of drinks and delicious food that hit the spot. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. A huge shoutout to Kenny, our server, who truly made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. His energy and hospitality made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes, top-notch service, and incredible food, The Tap Room at Dubsdread is the spot. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!
