I was meeting a friend for drinks and appetizers. I had heard great things about the Tap House and decided to try something new. It has it's own parking lot which is a huge plus on a busy street . We arrived together and walked in.
The good: What a charming interior. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk past the door. A great bar, one you could sit at all day long.
The bad- Unfortunately we almost did sit their all day long. There were two bartenders behind tha bar chatting away, and chatting and chatting and chatting. After 5 minutes I spoke up.....nothing. Not a glance or a nod or a "I'll be right with you". A little louder....Did I detect a slight annoyance that a customer was actually asking to be waited on? Nope. A third time EXCUSE ME! The male bartender turned and looked at us and finished his conversation....while he was looking at us.
Ordered beer and food, both which were great, but who cares, I will never go back there again. Who owns these places? Do they not understand that the best beer and food in the world means nothing if the first impression a customer gets is that they don't give a damn whether you stay and enjoy yourself or walk out the door? I will never get that. And I will never go there again. There are too many other places a block away that DO get it.
