These guys might not love getting their photo take

These guys might not love getting their photo taken, but do you know what they DO love? Hospitality! These three* gentlemen are the backbone of Tap Restaurant’s success. Their leadership, professionalism and years of experience make our little restaurant the best dining room on the peninsula. It takes a village and we are so glad we’ve got these guys at the helm!

Our team is constantly upgrading their skills and knowledge to serve you better. Today our staff completed their BC Wine Ambassador Level Two course to become experts on our local wine! The Ambassador Program is an exclusive #bcwine focused series of educational courses designed to share what makes BC wine so unique, and worth getting in your glass. We have lots of delicious local wines ready to share with you next time you are in! Don’t forget that every #wineTuesday all bottles under $100 on our list are 30% off! What a great opportunity to try some amazing local gems at a steal of a deal!

This beautiful Haida Gwaii halibut tastes as good as it looks! How lucky are we to live on the west coast among this bounty of seafood and fresh produce? April is #BCWine month so let’s pair this with a glass of @joiefarm Pinot Gris 🥂 (still petitioning for the #whitewineemoji 😉)
Beautiful plate Chef @rometan87 🙌

Have we mentioned we love wine paired dinners?! La

Have we mentioned we love wine paired dinners?! Last Thursday’s Chablis + Chicken event was a huge success. When you focus on one varietal and one ingredient you really get to compare and contrast and LEARN in depth! It was so cool to taste the nuances of the different premier cru vineyards and vintages. If you want to be added to our list to be first in the know about upcoming events, DM your email address and we’ll add you. Hope you can come to the next wine paired dinner!

Thank you to our rockstar guest photographer @r_kler for taking these gorgeous photos through service 🙏🏼🍗📸
