"We were seated at 4:45pm. By the time we were seated and had drinks it was 4:55pm. We had lunch menus and asked the Host that seated us if we could have dinner menus. She stated that she would ask our server. Our server came to our table, never introduced herself and very assertively told us that we had to wait till 5:00pm. AND I am pretty sure that when she left our table it was 5:00...

Eventually she came back with dinner menus and took our drink orders. I ordered a Pino Grigio and ended up with a chardonnay. I brought it to my waitress's attention and she argued with me.

I had a bad experience with Tap prior to this but wanted to give it another try. I wish Tap the best of luck but sadly, I wont be going back."

"We always eat at Tap before going to the Symphony or High Museum. Great bar food with creativity and incredible selection of beers. I think they have about 50 beers on tap. Tap makes me feel, especially if we can get a table outside, like I'm in NYC."

"Tap was recommended and Saturday was the first time for us. Great waitress - attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was very good and also timely. It was also nice to have runners who brought requested extra items and removed dirty dishes.

Thanks! And we will be back."

"I've been coming toTap for a few years now. Sometimes lunch, sometimes dinner. I've been for meetings and getting together with friends.
I'm not sure what the recent negative reviews are talking about. I've been twice in the last month and had the same experience we've always had. The food is great. The seasonally changing cocktails are creative and tasty. The service often leaves a little to be desired but not much that I'd complain. The valet parking is great. C'mon. Free parking in downtown Atlanta.
Always on the ball with reservations.
I can't complain."

"For a Sunday morning brunch the music was way too loud. In fact, it was so loud, I couldn't hear my brunch company sitting across from me. I asked the server to turn it down, but he did not seem to care. I ended up leaving before the order came. It was unpleasant. I will never go back there."

"This was the last of a few visits spanning a year. This location is convenient to the High Museum which is what first brought us here. While the first couple of visits were enjoyable, things have descended into chaos. The time before this visit the server seemed to be either brand new and untrained or extremely stoned. This time the server was clearly just overloaded. The food is now basic bar food served in a perfunctory way. The last time we were seated by the Service Bar where I watched our server lean and ignore our drinks as they slowly grew warm. I finally got up, walked over, and picked them up myself. Only go here if you are looking for a supremely loud lively bar scene. Then you will enjoy yourself."

"We have dined several times at Tap prior to events at Woodruff. Food and service have both declined. On our recent visit the appetizer and salad took 20 minutes to show up. 1-2 minutes later the mains came out. We asked that they be taken back because they would be cold by the time we finished the starters. Server: "we've got a lot of tickets tonight". The restaurant was half-full at 6:30pm. We protested to eye rolls. A manager was summoned. We explained the situation. He said the mains could be removed and re-made when we were ready. They took them away then brought them back 10 minutes later, cold. Other than the free valet parking for Woodruff events, there is no longer any reason to visit Tap. Overpriced for mediocre food, poor service."

"TAP is one of my favorite places in midtown and I go there often. Their food is incredible, but there service is terrible more often than not. The other day we ended up waiting 30 minutes for our waitress to take our order, and then it was an hour and twenty minutes before we received our food. The manager is great, but really has some work to do with his waitstaff.

This was not the first time I've waited more than 45 minutes for my food. They do so much right, and I hope they will finally be able to work out these waitstaff/kitchen issues."

All of the brews served to us that evening were presented in the appropriate glassware & served at the proper temperature. Our meals were cooked to order & the presentation was spot-on. Thanks for the experience & we look forward to returning mid-summer."

"The food was good, but service was slow and not attentive. We had orchestra tickets and arrived an hour and a half before the performance. Even though we let our server know this, our food did not arrive until 20 minutes before we had to leave. We had to wolf down our meals. It was not the enjoyable experience we had hoped for."

"The staff was friendly, but our waitress seemed unfamiliar with the menu. We waited over 30 minutes for our food, which was disappointing. The chicken was slightly burned and the grill cheese was quite messy. It had too much cheese. While the atmosphere is kid-friendly, there is no kids menu and the dining options for kids are limited. It was advertised as contemporary american dining with fresh, local options. The menu definitely offered a contemporary take on many american classics, such as grill cheese and tacos, but the execution fell short. Summary: good for drinks and the large variety of beer, but not for families with kids or foodies."

"The beer list was nice, and the food was tasty, but we seemed to be a table outside of our server's section. She spent all her time at the other end of the restaurant, and twice we had to flag down another waiter because we were ready to order more food or drink and we hadn't seen our waitress in fifteen minutes. She was very nice, and knew a lot about the restaurant's menu and beer list, but it seemed like she kept forgetting we were there."
