Boasting a menu of fresh, tasty eats, A new gastropub; what a nice treat! Great beer selection; all different kinds, Good service too; this place blew my mind. The appetizer (cheese steak egg rolls) and burger I got here were incredible. Also tried a bunch of different craft brews that I never had before. Some beers on the menu were pricey, but I like how they had some affordable options too. The interior had a nice, modern feel, and our waitress was a gem. Sure to become a new Wallingford favorite. read more

ok food at best but very overpriced. limited menu with not many options much better options in town for food and drink.

Went in for an early dinner on a Wednesday with my wife. Wasn't busy at all. We were greeted/seated promptly. They have a nice selection of beers and I tried a couple new ones (for me). Food seemed to take a little longer to come out than I would expect as others who ordered after us got theirs first. Perhaps it was what we ordered. However the food was good, the prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. read more

I read all the great reviews for the Brussels Sprouts so I tried them and I totally agree they are fantastic! I had the shrimp and grits again and was not disappointed- excellent! The restaurant, inside bar and outside bar were all very busy due to a concert in town so the kitchen was slow. Mike was manning the bars and keeping everyone happy, he is certainly one of the best bartenders in the industry! read more

Love the outside seating and great service. Food is pretty good too ! The steak tip appetizer is bomb

We had drinks and food right at the bar. Mike the bartender offered tastes of the many tap items and we settled on a great choice from a local micro brewery. The place has a good vibe, busy but not crazy. For an appetizer we had the Korean wings. They were outstanding. No need for extra sauces, perfect just the way they came. Next we had the flatbread pizza with arugula and Gorgonzola and the tacos. Very, very good. Attention to service and detail. Great presentation and service. We will come back and definitely recommend this place. read more

Awesome food, creative menu and cocktails, great service! The short ribs 100%! Great atmosphere and patio, definitely worth checking out

The service was super slow it took almost an hour to get our food. The food was very overpriced. The flatbread felt like two bites of food and was burnt on the ends. The menu was limited. The food (aside from the burnt part) was good quality though and the ambiance was nice. read more

Tap & Vine is a great addition to Wallingford's restaurant scene. Occupying the space of the Old Dublin, Tap & Vine brings high quality American food to town. I had the veggie burger on a pretzel roll with a side salad tossed in a key lime poppy seed dressing. Both were absolutely amazing and must tries. To finish, I had the Chocolate Almond Bread Pudding which was also amazing. My favorite thing of all though? Almost all of the food prepared is homemade, from the burgers to the dressing to the desserts. It's a rarity to find a trait like that. I have nothing bad to say about this establishment. When in town, be sure to stop by a place what will certainly be a boon to Wallingford for years to come. read more

Awesome beer selection. Food is ok. Nothing to brag about. Went on a Sunday. Nice little spot to go to though. Would go back agaib

This place has been one of our favorite local spots since we've been introduced to the area. Hector is always so pleasant and kind, waitstaff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is fantastic!!! Chuck Norris burger is out of this world. We feel so comfortable every time we come in, and the gas heaters make sitting outdoors in a chilly night so cozy and enjoyable! We love Tap and Vine, and thank them for making a local dinner such an enjoyable and tasty experience. read more

We found this absolute gem on Yelp and we weren't disappointed! Sat at the Bar and with the help of Heather and Hector (Owner) we worked our way through an incredible Draft Beer line up and a Tremendous menu. Great food, awesome Beer Selection, service was first class and did I mention we had a Boston Blue Blood in our party? Not to mention a local Connecticut dignitary. Don't hesitate for a second to go here. We will be back! read more

By far my favorite restaraunt in the area! The entire menu is amazing, I never know what to pick! The flatbreads incorporate unique ingredients that are all to die for. They have a great wine list and an extensive local craft beer list. If you're looking to get more into craft beers, this is the perfect spot to start! read more

My family and friends go here weekly! We love the staff and the food. Beer selections, drinks and menu specials always change. Great location- tough to find parking. read more

Went for a quick bite but the service was slow. The food was okay overall. My friend got steak but it was over cooked. I had the chicken rice bowl but it really wasn't much chicken or substance other than lots of rice. I would not go back bc nothing really stood out. read more

Great atmosphere and service. The brussel sprouts were excellent and the burger was perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Cute place in a quiet neighborhood. Parking was challenging during Friday night dinner rush, but street parking available. Loud if you want to really talk intimately. But the food...SO good. Their lime vinaigrette is amazing. My friend recommended the steak and cheese eggrolls. I was hesitant as I really don't like portabello mushrooms. Once they arrived to the table, I couldn't resist a taste... delicious!! Everyone loved their meals, the tastes they put together are classic with a twist. Can't wait to come back and try more! Portion sizes are decent for the price and left feeling plenty satisfied. Also, true to their name, the beer and wine lists are high quality and diverse options. read more

Fabulous service, fantastic beers on draft, and an eclectic menu (from shrimp and grits to corn jalapeño hush puppies). We tried two of the salads- blackened chicken was seasoned perfectly. First time here and we will be back. Love the warm atmosphere too read more

Very good beer selection most of the time and the specials throughout the week are pretty good. Only downside is there can be a wait to get seated but it's well worth it read more

Enjoyed the heck out of the food and Mike the bartender was fantastic. Great food and a very good beer selection. I enjoyed nearly everything but someone needs to tell the wait staff not to stand at the end of the bar and complain about the customers or lack of enough customers. It was a Wednesday for God's sake. read more

The food was good (I had a burger) and they have a great beer selection. I like to come here for the unique beer selection. It's a beautiful place and the staff is friendly! I live close by, so I will definitely be going back. They also have an outdoor space, which I didn't get to use this past summer, but I will be checking that out next summer! Great place. read more

Just had dinner here outside - just lovely. . Brussels sprout and Mac & cheese apps were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back.

I have been here many times and can honestly say I've never been disappointed! Whether you sit inside or outside the staff is attentive and knowledgeable about their food and drink options read more

I'm not sure what I can say other than it's amazing food, drinks atmosphere and the staff is cool. What more could you want?

Came here on a Saturday around lunchtime and it was very nice. Staff very friendly and pleasant. Appetizers were definitely the star of the show. We ordered the corn and jalapeño hushpuppies and the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. Delicious! The dips were out of this world, and the beer/wine/cocktail selection was really great. The wait was a bit long for it being so empty, but we didn't see how many patrons were outside on the deck area so maybe there were more customers. The entrees we ordered were a bit of a downer. Honestly we'd return for the appetizers and the drinks. read more

This place is a 12/10. Amazing. I am a professional chef and always observe many things that can improve when I go to a restaurant. This place is spot on- from the service to the food. The Aussie bartender is great! read more

We had the pleasure of dining @ Tap & Vine last Saturday evening & had a very good dinner! The service was terrific; the waitress very friendly & helpful. The owner attentive to all patrons ensuring all were comfortable & enjoying their food & drinks; a true & welcoming host. The food was awesome and portion sizes right on. The Sweet & Hot Calamari was extraordinary w/ savory flavors of hot & sweet, the Shrimp & Grits were outstanding, the T&V Steak dinner was grilled to perfection with delicious mashed potatoes & veggies, Tap & Vine Burger was juicy and seasoned well and the Philly Cheesesteak w/ horseradish sauce very tasty. We had a great time & are looking forward to to going back soon! read more

I love this place! There aren't too many vegetarian options, but the veggie burger is one of the best around. Outdoor area is great! Service is always good too. Beer selection is unbeatable, and unique wines are offered read more

We now have a favorite restaurant in the New Haven area - Tap & Vine in Wallingford is unbelievable! The food is excellent, everything we ordered was amazing. Unfortunately, it just looks like a really nice bar in a rundown section of town from the outside. Completely deceiving. We will be coming back for all of our special occasions and talk this place up with everyone we know! Also, they played amazing music selection, a lot of Neil Young, Santana, 60's/70s, really surprising and satisfying!! read more

Went here for dinner with my girlfriend and another couple, and can not say enough good things about the quality of the food and the even better staff. We initially sat outside but after a couple rounds of drinks and appetizers it grew too cold for us. The staff was able to clear a table for us last minute and move us inside. May seem like a small thing but given the current climate with reservations and capacity restrictions we were extremely grateful. Our server took excellent care of us all night and we all left extremely satisfied with the food and the experience. read more

Food was very good for the most part. Got the mushroom flatbread and didn't care for it, but everything else was stellar. Wine list was decent and affordable. Atmosphere made you feel dressy and relaxed at the same time, which was perfect. read more

I stopped in to Tap and Vine on Sunday 2/9/2020 with a friend of mine, at about 1:30 in the afternoon. The restaurant was busy but not to the extend that anyone was waiting to be seated. A woman with dark, long hair greeted us and sat us in the dining room to the right of the entrance at a corner table. She gave us menus and never came back to our table. My friend and I sat at the table for 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. The woman who initially greeted us, passed our table twice to bring food to another table without even blinking an eye in our direction. Finally, we got up and left the establishment. I'm very disappointed in the lack of service on this day. I've been to this place several times because of their diverse menu, drinks and great quality of food. Unfortunately, I will not be back! read more

Unique setting, inside and out. Very friendly and attentive staff. The owners are hostesses as well as servers and help make you feel welcome. Food variety is outstanding. Left very satisfied. Highly recommended. read more
