Neighbourhood fine dining restaurant in Morgan Creek
We used to eat here once a week until the last time. There were 3 of us having dinner. Two of us ordered the same thing...the filet mignon, medium rare. We got our meals and the other guys filet was perfect. Nice, thick and medium rare to perfection. Mine was thin and well done. I took one bite and complained it was too done and that it was nothing like the other guys. The chef actually fought me on it. He took mine away and came back with a new one and somewhat lectured me on how he cooks his meats. I told him that mine was not like the other guys. About 3 minutes after giving me the new steak, he came back and asked if I needed it cooked more. It was again overcooked, so my comment was "MORE?" Ilater learned that the chef was one of the owners. Why go back if the owner is treating his unhappy customers like this? I wanted to write a letter, but I figured they wouldn't care anyway. We have not been back in 3 years. It's too bad because I do believe they have tasty food. I can't say I like their fake fireplaces at the table. Tacky.
We had walked by this restaurant in the summer and the manager invited us in to have a look. He also gave us a couple of menus to take with us.
We returned on Friday night for dinner. The menu had changed from the menu that we picked up in the summer, sauces and garnishes were different from the menu we had looked at. They have 7 items on the tapas menu, 4 salads and 6 entrees plus a couple of daily specials. Your options are really limited. When we were there the computer system went down and consequently the kitchen was backed up causing a slight delay in the delivery of the meals (really very inconsequential). To start we shared a caesar salad and garlic cheese bread (additional cost for the bread). They were both very good. While we were eating the salads we were told that the entrees were ready and did we want them right away or should they be kept warm. I had ordered a filet with shiitake peppercorn cream and I asked if it would still be rare. I was assured that it would be as it would just be kept warm and wouldn't continue cooking. Not so. When I received the steak it was medium. They were very gracious about providing me with another steak and they even went so far as to comp my meal and give us a free dessert. My husband ordered a bone in rib eye and while it was very good I felt the price of $35.00 was a bit on the high side. The entrees were very good, not exceptional but very good. For dessert we shared a creme brulee.
Our server was very good about returning my entree but he removed my husband's dinner dish when I wasn't even half way through my dinner and in a move that really irked me brought over the dessert menu and began discussing dessert with my husband while I was still eating dinner. HELLO!! The ambiance is very nice. It is not too loud. They were extremely gracious in not charging us for my entree or dessert but one thing I absolutely detest when I'm out for a nice dinner is the feeling that I'm being rushed and having the dessert menu presented and being discussed with my table companion while I'm still eating will definitely makes me feel rushed. As I mentioned they only have 6 entrees on their menu so there are not a lot of options.
I don't know whether I would return or not. If hubby or friends suggested it I would probably go back but I don't think i would suggest it on my own.
My wife and I live in White Rock, but spend the majority of our time downtown Vancouver for work so generally go out to eat while we are there. A friend told us about Tap and we were very excited to try out a fine dining restaurant close to home. Small and intimate - great ambiance. We went on a Wednesday night and there was live jazz! Turns out they have live music every Wednesday, it was great. I had the black truffle and portabello mushroom risotto with garlic scallops and it was the best risotto I have ever had! My wife had the braised short rib with root vegetables and some sort of earthy au jus/gravy, she loved it. Knowledgeable staff led us to a great bottle of wine to have with our meal. The owner came out to chat with us and even brought us a dessert on the house! We will definitely go back again.
We went there about a month ago and it just does not make sense. We were seated on the patio by these white neon boxes that attract a tone of bugs. The prices are that of a fine dining restaurant and the food had to many flavours going on at once. Our server was pretty good. Friendly and laid back. It will be awhile before we try it again.
