Our family enjoyed the best meal we've had so far on our Vancouver trip at Kings Tap, and we're…read morealready planning to come back. First, we were seated quickly upon arrival, even though the restaurant looked busy for a Tuesday night. The servers were personable and genuinely kind, which set the tone for the rest of our dinner. The appetizers and drinks came out quickly, and both the chicken wings and calamari were some of the best we've ever had. Most calamari is served with tartar or marinara sauce, but their version came with a much more elevated yuzu sauce. Delicious! The mains were beautifully plated and tasted even better. The salmon had a light, balanced seasoning and was perfectly cooked, not dry at all. The steak and peri peri chicken were well seasoned as well, with a seared crust and moist interior. My daughter loved the pasta, too. For dessert, we ordered the Cloud 9, which was perfectly named. It was a banana cake drizzled with sauce and topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and fresh bananas. We're already planning what to order on our next visit because the menu had so many other items we definitely want to try. This was the best meal we've had in Vancouver, and we highly recommend it.

I've been to King Taps a handful of times now apart from having gone to the one in Toronto and I…read morewould say it's an elevated Cactus Club with a really pretty view. This is a great place for casual hang outs and quick dates. It's a bit far out in Lonsdale, but I would go out of my way for the views especially in the summer time! The servers are all really nice and they do a great job to communicating with each other to get customers in and up the stairs to their table. For this time, we came in with a group of 6 people and shared a bunch of appetizers and pizzas. I tried the new truffle pasta and although the meatballs were a bit salty, the pappardelle was yummy! King Taps is also quite well known for their delicious pizzas. I've tried a few pizzas in the past and they were quite good, but this time I tried the rotator pizza (vodka pie) and the mac daddy (big mac inspired pizza). The vodka pie was a bit too salty for me, but the mac daddy was interesting and refreshing to try! A lot of people in my group liked the vodka pie as it was something different as well. As always, you can't go wrong with truffle fries and brussels sprouts. I think I like King Taps a little more than Cactus Club as they have more of my preferred variety in the menu. You're not coming here for gourmet food, but you can definitely get solid bites and a solid time with loved ones. If I recall, their happy hour is also unbeatable - $7 cocktails, food starting at $7 and $5 beer/well highballs. King Taps is definitely a go to spot!
