“My wife and I came here for a date night. The atmosphere was that dark steak house vibe that seems to be the go to lighting experience. The restaurant was nicely laid out and tables were buzzing.

The service was 1000/10. Our server Bri had possibly the best water service I've ever seen at a restaurant. She made great recommendations and wanted to explain any drinks or food ordered to ensure we were getting the proper experience.

The food was unreal. We weren't super hungry so we shared a dry aged sirloin, the Brussels sprouts, fries and aioli and Milk Compte bread.

Everything was absolutely fantastic. The only thing to note, was the pickle. I personally can't stand pickles, if there's a pickle on a menu, I request not to include as the juice from a pickle spreads and takes over flavor on whatever it touches. There was no mention of a pickle anywhere so when the steak came out and was sliced perfectly on the plate, to see it next to a pickle wedge that was easily the same size if not larger than the steak was definitely a weird moment. We asked the server why they serve it with s pickle ( maybe it's made in house) to which she told us it's one of the only things they don't make in house?

If you're going to put a massive pickle next to any steaks, you need to let the customer know as this was the only real miss of the evening.“

“My wife and I visited this ramen shop last May or June, around 5 to 6 p.m., and had a terrible experience. The pork belly was incredibly hard and smelled awful. To make matters worse, our female server completely ignored us, even though there were only two other tables and the staff was chatting nearby. It left us feeling pretty disappointed after dinner.

Today, we decided to give it another chance, thanks to their event. This time, the quality and freshness of the ramen were much better, including serving quality. I think the owner or manager should visit more often to ensure the service quality stays high.“

“Amazing food, great cocktails, and the staff was just great!“

“A nice atmosphere and great staff.“

“Hosted a retirement party for approx 85 people. Chris, the General Manager , was great to work with. He made sure that enough staff was present and accommodated our group!

The staff were excellent , friendly, and made the evening go very well.

If your looking for an informal get together or in our case a retirement party, Taproom 260 is a great place to host it!

Thank you Chris and your staff! Well done!“
