The worst service I've even waiting for 8 mins had 4 people look over at me and my son and not even a offer of water the place was empty so there was no reason for the wait I would give a 0 ⭐ but you can't give 0

The eggroll, I believe it was the cheesesteak eggroll that was pretty good. I was disappointed with the calamari because there was more Breaded peppers in it then there was calamari. Then finally, my two drinks or not good. My first drink was a Mojito. The taste wasn’t pleasant. Then my second drink was on my Thai and that was very difficult to drink. It tasted like cough syrup. My fiancé got two beers which he liked, but cocktails definitely are not their thing

Excellent bar offering a large choice of beers on tap and tasty food. The place is modern and clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. A great place in Cambridge Crossing area!

We had a lot of patience for the crew because we thought the restaurant just opened.. turns out it opened a year ago?! Understaffed, disorganized, slow, and the food didn’t make up for the experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t get photos of the food, but I got a photo of the women’s bathroom at 4pm.

The food didn’t have much flavor, and it felt a bit bland. The server wasn’t very chatty, and we had a hard time understanding them. Overall, it wasn’t the best start to our Boston trip.

I am a local resident and am super excited for Tap 151 to be in our neighborhood. It’s a beautiful space inside and out. But to be fully transparent, my review is limited to only certain days and with certain staff. This review is for Mondays and Tuesdays. It is the most fun atmosphere. After having inconsistent experiences on other days, I will only come on these days now when Kim and Elias are working.

Kim, who is the best bartender in the place, she provides a friendly and welcoming experience every time. She makes you feel like you are family and are truly valued. Other patrons have shared the same sentiment, and unfortunately, also that their experience was different on other days when she is not there.

I truly hope that owners will consider having the Kim and Elias experience everyday of the week. This should be the standard, not the exception. We all want this establishment to win and to be a steeple in our neighborhood- with that the experience needs to be consistent 7 days a week, not just Mondays and Tuesdays.

My first experience here was around February of 2025 and back then I had encountered issues with servers not communicating well as myself and my friend both got messed up orders (my friend got a soda instead of a Corona that he ordered and I got the wrong burger). I did not want to write a bad review then as I felt this place should get a second chance. But then I went yesterday with my girlfriend and we had a very poor experience. We ordered chicken TENDERS but were served wings. The waiter did not come to ask us about our order nor did he ever even refill our waters even one time. We had asked another waiter about the mistaken chicken tender/wing mixup and found out after almost 45 minutes that the waiter apparently did not understand english (as was told by our actual waiter serving our table). We then waited nearly an hour later and at this point finished our other food. We did not get anything to make up for this poorly communicated mistake. We live close by to hear but sadly we don't want to waste our time coming back with such poor and uncaring service here. The food/sports watching experience overall is not bad but the service is not worth the visit to this establishment.

I live locally, within steps to Tap 151. I've been here many times, and everything has been good or better. However, tonight was different. After a long day, I just wanted to sit down to a Red Sox game and eat.

Everything was decent, except for the service. I sat at the bar and ordered my non-alcoholic drink. I had to say it at least 3-4 times for the male bartender to understand. Also when I was ordering food, I had to say my order at least 3-4 times, because the male bartender couldn't understand. It wasn't overly loud or crowded. The Red Sox weren't doing that well. I really had to think about why he couldn't understand my order.

In addition, during my time, a lot of patrons at the bar were not serviced well. A new patron would sit at the bar, and they weren't given a menu, asked for a drink, or greeted. At least 5-10 minutes go by before someone walks by. I've visited this establishment during the week or maybe Friday, but tonight was a Saturday and I would expect service to be at least par.

We had a large family gathering - 28 people. Tap 151 handled our group with ease. Food was very good and served promptly. The staff was friendly and took very good care of our family. Just outside the restaurant there is a small grassy area and a huge sand play area that the kids had a fun time playing in. Great location.
