THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED TAP Restaurant Review:

Almost a design element, the generous view in this popular two-level operation, whose upper chamber houses its kitchen, depends on expansive fenestration. Banquettes, high-topped tables and table-banquette combos supply comfortable seating. Music isn’t deafening, so conversation is enjoyable. Celebrity chef Tyler Williams has departed the restaurant, to be replaced by Gary Thorne. Thorne has turned the menu toward more conventional dishes, such as a double stack burger, fish ’n’ chips, tacos, a gussied up grilled cheese sandwich, steak frites and an interpretation of s’mores for dessert. TAP’s beer list offers lengthy lineups on draught and by the bottle, including local craft brews. In addition to a couple of wines on tap, there’s a shorter list of decent wines by the glass and bottle.
