    Grilled Shrimp Bowl
    Frank O.

    Overall score is closer to a 4, but still giving a 5 to boost up the rating. The interior has nice decor, I want to spend an hour just looking at all the liquor bottles above the bar, plenty of space for large groups. The food was a solid 4, good taste and portion size, while the service was a bit lacking at the beginning. Came in a weekday for a late lunch. A few other groups already there. We sat in between two other groups, would have liked a bit of space. We were asked about our order immediately upon sitting, but then had a gap for maybe 6 min before we were asked again. Not sure if we were giving off a vibe, but we did look around a bit for the server. After ordering the food came out quick and was plated nicely. I was very satisfied with the Grilled Shrimp bowl. It looks deceptively small, but there is some depth to it and the hearty rice and beans are underneath. The flavors came together well, the salsa and pico, roasted corn, the grilled shrimp themselves, and some creaminess from the beans, just all around solid and would get again. The guacamole seemed like an afterthought, although it may have partially tempered heat from the salsa (but the creams and beans were doing this too). My other party members enjoyed their Guava Lemonaide, Enchiladas Verdes, and Carnitas Bowl. We finished our food and stayed at the table to chat, until we were ready to leave. Staff thanked us for coming.

    Oh my... Where do I start? Let's start with the pros: Ambience is cool. Looks like a fun spot to hangout at with a lively atmosphere and southwestern/latin inspired decor. Service seems decent as well. The cons: Food and drinks are not good. It seems to me like they are trying too hard. The dishes were lacking depth and flavor and it seems they try to focus on presentation rather than flavor. I got a chicken dish and it tasted unseasoned and the rice seemed stale. The green sauce on top of it was bland seems out of place. Appetizers were pretty mediocre and the drinks generic. This place has potential to be better but they really should focus on having cohesive dishes that are more flavorful.

    Great date night spot! My husband and I sat in the patio, the outdoor decor is so bright and fun! Margarita flight was refreshingly delicious! My fav was the white peach flavor! Appetizers were equally as good (chicken taquitos, and carnitas tetelas) we shared the fish tacos, they too had great flavor with spicy sweet mango drizzle. Our waitress was attentive and friendly! We will definitely return! Glad we had reservations because when we were leaving there were a lot of people waiting for seating.

    Brussel Sprout tacos

    The food and service were good. I loved that they had a wide range of dishes that cater to all dietary restrictions. I was hesitant to try the Brussel sprout tacos but I'm glad I did. They were yummy.

    my first visit to this location! It definitely won't be my last. We were informed it would be a five-minute wait for our table, but we were seated in less than two minutes. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The menu really caught my eye, and I had a wonderful time exploring the options. I look forward to returning soon!

    Brunch mimosa

    We came for the Sunday Brunch. I ordered a mimosa and my friend got the bottomless mimosas (a steal for $22 as opposed to one that is $10). I had the Chilaquiles. It was very flavorful with just the right mix of flavors. My friend had the Mexican Chop. She said it was very fresh and delicious. Will definitely be going back again!

    Skinny margarita
    Laurel N.

    Wow! Passing through Richland & spending the night. Thought we'd give the Perch a try. The atmosphere was contemporary Cantina. We had the brussel sprouts Nachos which were flavorful. Then I had the shrimp taco bowl. Again very tasty. My husband had the chicken poblano. He loved it. My skinny margarita was delicious. He had a Deschutes Pilsner. Throughly enjoyed our meal, drinks & attentive service from Ashely.

    Bar is empty however I can't get service? I would love to order a beer!
    Jim P.

    I was staying at a hotel across the street and the front desk informed me that dining here can be hit or miss. I took a chance and sat myself at the bar and waited a few minutes before being noticed. When noticed, I inquired about beers on tap and ended up with a Modello which was cold and tasty. Tex Mex menu was limited and expensive for what was offered. I ordered (2) shrimp tacos sided with black beans and rice. The taco disintegrated when I picked it up from the plate making it impossible to eat as a taco and I ended up using a fork for the balance of my meal. Nice southwest atmosphere however not worth the $33. for 2 tacos and a beer! Will look at other dining options rather than give a second opportunity here. I know better and the number of 1 star Yelp ratings should have warned me!

    Was in town for a wedding and we spent some pre-ceremony time at the nearby Blackthorne. Spacious…read moreinterior with a variety of chair types. I could easily see myself spending a few hours here and lounging, maybe writing or grading papers, and just enjoying the ambiance. It does have that local-pub type feel to it. Easy to find parking right out on the street. I selected the seasonal cocktails Demeter to drink. Gin is my spirit of choice, and the addition of black currants and blackberries was intriguing. The Cassis Noir De Bourgogne was the dominant flavor, rich black currant flavor from the liqueur. I do also appreciate that the drink was a very nice balance between mild tartness and mild sweetness, I could easily drink four or five in a sitting and still feel good about it. I do enjoy the terpene notes from gin and was unfortunately not able to taste them since the black currants were some dominant. The blackberries and the rosemary both struck me as there for the visual appeal more-so than the taste. If the berries were muddled more, then they too could add depth to the flavor. As they were in the mostly intact state I drank around them, a straw would not have been appropriate for the drink. I think one could cut the ice in half, it would still stay cold, and the ease of drinking would go up. I could probably also get more blackberries into my mouth for an additional sensory experience. Lastly, I did wish for more bubbles, more effervescence. Keep a neutral flavor (like carbonated soda) and let the Cassis shine.

    Server was great. Lots of people coming to and from the table instead of just letting him work with…read moreus though, made it feel a little busy. We had to keep telling people the same things over and over. Things like "someone already said they were getting that for us" not that we needed to keep asking for things! Important difference.) The manger, I think, kept saying he would get things then ended up over committing to tasks and someone else would end up doing it. This isn't a complaint just something I'd suggest having a discussion with with staff and change- lots of business do this because they want to be attentive but it comes off sloppy and messy and just ends up interrupting the meal more than anything. Everyone was doing this with the best intention though. Only love and advice here! The drinks were very good. Loved seeing all the holiday themed stuff everywhere VERY VERY cute!!!! we loved the heart napkins and the whole vibe was 10/10. I thought my food was bland, everyone else loved theirs, so I won't dock starts for that. Excited to visit this place again next time we are in town. Edit: docked it a star over the owner passive aggressive immediate reply. Comes off like "shut up I'm right you're wrong." I've been in the industry over 20 years and have seen many place fail, flail, and have great success. The successful ones never have a manager or owner that is passive aggressive over a pretty nice review. I hope you learn to take criticism and your business thrives though! (If you were so busy you wouldn't have, or at minimum KNOW you wouldn't have, time talk to every one. I never once saw you "delegate" a task to someone else. I saw you repeatedly say you'd do a task then someone on staff notice it wasn't done the do it for you. You told the boss you'd seat us then wandered off to do whatever behind the bar and she sat us- her job you didn't need to butt into btw. You did say you'd get cheese and did it yourself. You came by a bunch to make sure our table, and every table we could see, was happy but it seemed more for ego than anything because you kept repeating how but YOU are from the second we walked in until we left. You said you'd get my father in law another drink then it simply never came but whatever we just left without another high priced cocktail on our bill, your loss. Trust your staff, take accountability, much love.) Edit again: the owner refuses to stop lying and saying he's "defending himself" more to that over on the google reviews. Staff is great, food is below mid, owner is beyond help. Edit again: just noticed he EDITED HIS REPLY TO ME to try to change the story that he wasn't as rude as before! So I added a screen shot. Talk about "MESSY." Do NOT support this clearly narcissistic owner! Lying, manipulating, gaslighting, and all over what was originally a four star review!!! Wow!!! Edit again: was browsing other reviews and the owner is flat out lying on other reviews too!!

    If you're doing a proper tour of the Tri-Cities and somehow miss Tapp'd in West Richland, you…read moredidn't just take a wrong turn... you skipped one of the best stops on the map. Tapp'd hits that rare sweet spot where it works just as well for a date night as it does for a full blown game day hangout. The headline feature is the self serve tap wall, which is basically permission to become your own bartender without the awkward small talk. When your glass runs dry, you don't wait around, you pivot. Try something new, double down on your favorite, live a little. And if beer isn't your thing, the bar staff can mix a cocktail that reminds you why bartenders exist in the first place. Now, the food. This is where people get blindsided, in a good way. The Quesabirria Tacos, Asada Street Tacos, and Taquitos de Pollo aren't just "good for a bar," they're flat out legit. The kind of food that makes you pause mid conversation and reconsider your priorities for a second. Service deserves its own shoutout. We were there on a Sunday night, and our server didn't miss a beat, checking in, keeping things moving, and somehow making it all look effortless. Worth noting: same ownership as Tri-City Taps, which explains why the formula works so well, great drinks, great food, and service that actually cares. Bottom line, if you're local, this should already be in your rotation. If you're visiting, this is one of those "don't leave town without it" spots.
