TAPS Fish House & Brewery

5/5: Beer flights are an excellent idea. We got 2 flights (8 tastings). One was $12 for four; another was $10; it depends on what beers you select. My favorites are: Empetus Barrel Stout, Coffee Cream Nitro, and Cali Sun. 5/5: Oysters are ocean fresh. Each order comes with 4 small oysters. Next time, I will get four orders all to myself. 5/5: Chowder fries: soup sauce was excellent. I would come back for a cup of soup instead and I am not even a usual fan of chowder. 4/5: Fish & Chips: The fish was fresh, clean, and succulent. The batter was oily. Good thing I was able to just peel if off and throw it out. It comes with lots of skinny shoe string chips. Don't order more. 3/5: Tri-tip Sliders: I tasted horseradish and that was about it. The meat was tender but without seasoning. This dish comes with fries, we didn't know, we had so much fries on the table. 1/5: Brewmaster pretzel & fondue $7: their fondue arrived cold and congealed. They were nice enough to get us a new fondue, it tasted OK; but the pretzel was over-salty and rock solid (think store bought crunchy pretzel feel). I felt bad being fussy over this dish. Between the two of us, we couldn't even finish half. I hate having to waste food. Parking is easy. Ample social distance patio seating. Attentive and friendly service. Excellent choice for happy hour! We sat until sunset and they lit candles for us. I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

Everything was really fantastic for a casual dinner. I love how they never turn us away, even though we go without reservations.. We thought that we had tried everything everything on their menu. But, yesterday we discovered their Cesar salad with their croutons.. this is an absolute MUST. Also, their sashimi is extremely fresh! We will probably be back very soon.

Excellent surf n turf. The lobster bisque is great with a nice rich creaminess. The lobster dumplings are also great and sit on a bed of bisque. The complimentary sour dough bread is hot and fresh and comes with a balsamic, oil, and garlic dip. The ribeye steak is great but I ordered it medium rare and it came nearly medium well. I highly recommend getting a side of brandy sauce with the steak. The mashed potatoes are light and fluffy with a slight vanilla flavor which was pleasant. The scallops were good and came with a pork belly risotto which was be also good. They also brew their own beer and have won several awards for it. I love their Hefeweizen beer. Plenty of outdoor seating in the shade.

Came for dinner last week with a bestie. Restaurant had roughly 10 patrons indoors and the patio was "full" as far as social distancing goes. We opted to be seated indoors because the wait for the patio was longer than we had time for. Daniel was our server and he was wearing a mask...along with all the staff. He assured us that everything had been properly cleaned and he was excited to be back at work. We were excited to have him as our server. The man was an absolute GEM! We scanned the menu for our go to dishes...mine is fish and chips and hers is some sort of baby clams in a broth that wasn't on the menu. Daniel said that some items were temporarily removed but he was fairly certain they could make the dish. He went to go check and was happy to report they could! Happy dance for the bestie! After a couple of rounds of adult beverages and delicious food in our bellies we had no room for dessert. So not in my DNA! Next time for sure! Thank you to sweet Daniel for making sure our visit was perfect!

I've been wanting to come here before work for a long time. I was worried it was to fancy. I'm glad I finally did come. It was opening, and I was seated right away. My server was Jasmine, and she was probably the best server I've ever had. I ordered the fish and chips but didn't know what appetizer to get. Jasmine recommended the lobster dumplings. She also said to use the bread to soak up all the sauce. The dumplings were so good, and I used the bread to completely clean the bowl. The fish was light and flakey with a perfect batter. The fries were perfect too. Being this was my first visit Jasmine wanted to give me a chocolate souffle. This takes time to make so Jasmine put the order in early. I finished my delicious meal and Jasmine checked on the souffle. The cooks must have misplaced the order. Jasmine felt so bad since I waited. I told her not to worry things happen. She did feel bad and gave me a gift card for my next visit. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. When I come back I hope Jasmine is working. She is the best.
