Taps Fish House and Brewery

Good as it gets! more

Brunch is worth the price if your really willing to EAT! Lots of choices, great quality of food and service! more

I've been Taps many times already and I love the place. The service is great, the place has nice decorations, and best of all the food is good! In the past I would go there about 1~2 times a month. Now I don't go there as often cuz it's somewhat pricey... anyways 4+ stars from me!!! more

Very good service waiter was very friendly. We were out shopping and decided to try something new. Hubby wanted to check in on baseball scores so it was a welcome stop from the heat. Waiter came to table quickly and explained menu choices. He followed up and kept checking on us and made suggestions. Food was very good. Pros: Nice menu Cons: Bit noisy more

The only dessert I like to eat is creme brulee, this place makes it the best in my opinion. Dropped in just for dessert a while ago just before a movie. I have not had their dinner though, but if in Brea again, would stop in for that creme brulee again, definitely. more

Just about anything I have ordered here was great! I have been here about 4 times and I don't think I have ever been disappointed. Pros: The food! Cons: The prices & waiting for a table! more

This is my 3rd time going to Taps and for the most part, has always been an enjoyable experience. The ambiance is nice. It's not too loud where you have to scream or too quiet where you feel as if you have to whisper every word. Our server (Travis) was very pleasant and professional. He greeted us right away and made sure our drinks were always full and visited our table often. We ordered the appetizer sampler ($27) which included calamari, crab & artichoke dip and new orleans style bbq shrimp. The bbq shrimp was rich in flavor, the dip was very creamy with tons of crab meat and the calamari had a nice batter, crispy and not too chewy. For our entree, we ordered the fish & chips and a bowl of gumbo. For not being a cajun style restaurant, the gumbo is pretty good. Not authentic, but close enough to remind me of home having lived in New Orleans for 19 years. Today, however, it was a little burnt (probably from sitting on the stove a little too long), but I would still recommend. Taps also boasts their impressive oyster bar, offering oysters from different regions (but with a hefty price tag).\r \r The only negative is the price. In my opinion, it's a little pricey for the type of restaurant and food served. But overall a nice place to eat. Enjoy Pros: ambience, service, and the gumbo Cons: a little pricey more

The meal is definitely the highlight. The service reminds me of Claim Jumper with no real depth plus they put girls in ties for uniform. It's obviously well established and I can't really think of anything wrong with the place. I recommend it for just about every occasion. It has a great bar and patio but be careful they promote cigar smoking...blech! All in all a great institution for OC. more

haven't been in a while but these guys don't even know how to do a bad job. it's a professional outfit from top to bottom. never an issue with quality or the service. best of luck to you in corona. Pros: huge and well run Cons: huge and well run more

Was on the patio for New Year's Eve. The pre fixe menu was wonderful. The best Oyster's Rockafeller I have had in a very long time. My salad was fantastic. My date's portions were a bit small, but quite delicious. I love the atmosphere of the outdoor patio with the roaring fireplace. I have been there another time for just the beers and fire with friends. Definitely worth getting a table outside and enjoy the brew...it is truly yummy! more

One of my all time favorite places to chill and relax with close friends. I miss the days where this was a weekly occurrence. (C.o.T. baby!) You'... more

This is my favorite micro-brew restaurant. The beer is great and the food is fantastic. The best in Orange County. more

The atmosphere is what you would expect from a Fish House Restaurant these days. The Food was very good the beer was cold and tasty. Perfect place to get a bite to eat before going into the movies across the street. My BF had the Pork Chops BEWARE it is HUGE!!! and takes quite a while to cook. We sat at the bar since we came in on a Saturday night without reservations and it was crowded but we noticed that they moved the people that were waiting fairly quickly. Seafood looked fresh the entree plates visuallly were nice our service was okay for ""Bar Service"" but I think it would have been nice for her to let us know up front that the Pork Chop was going to take a while just in case we had a movie to see. Nice Cigar lounge out back as well. Pros: food, dessert selection, beer selection Cons: parking, can get crowded, noise level more

Great food, great prices, awesome drinks, good service, and fun atmosphere what more can you ask for?? Calamari Provencal is so tasty and so is their amazing Sunday brunch spread. This is my favorite restaurant. Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere Cons: Prices keep going up more

Everything was excellent, from the beer to the fresh fish, to the friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. The only downside was the extremely crowded bar, where many customers were standing or milling around, making it hard to get through at times. It's a fun spot for a night out, but it's not fine dining, as I thought it would be. Pros: friendly staff, great beer more

Have been once, for the weekend Beer Brunch. It's weakly themed as a Mardi Gras party, but the real reason to go are the carefully made beers. The beer brunch comes with three beers and we were able to sample all 8-10 from the rotating list. Tops were Cream Ale, Oatmeal Stout, and the Hef. Brunch buffet was extensive and acceptable: crab legs, oysters, eggs benedict, fruit, bagle, omelette and pasta stations. Not a fantastic meal, but throw in an outdoor patio w/fireplace and you'll have a fine place to spend a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. Pros: Excellent beer, Not crowded, Patio w/Fireplace Cons: Spotty service, Buffet a bit sloppy, Cheap plastic chairs more

The salad was umimaginative. The fish was served dried out. Place has no ambience, it is extremely noisy with it's high wood ceilings and lack of decor creating a lot of annoying echo. Cons: noisy, bad parking more
