Aroline Rodriguez at Tap 42 Coral Gables gave one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire meal. She had great recommendations, kept the drinks coming, and checked in at all the right times without ever being overbearing. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made the night even better. It’s rare to get service that genuinely makes you want to come back, but Aroline definitely did that. If you’re visiting Tap 42 Coral Gables, ask for Aroline — you won’t be disappointed!

Love the vibe here! Really cool! Had the Shrimp Cocktail app, which was amazing! The Prohibition Burger came out overcooked, but that happens. It tasted pretty good! Overall a great value for the money! As a Wedding and Event DJ in Miami, South Florida, Key Largo, Islamorada, the Florida Keys, and Southwest Florida, I really appreciate good hospitality, and the cool background music 🎶 which was playing! Also Really love the warm, elegant, sexy decor! Service could've been a little better, but it was late on a Saturday night. Highly recommend!!

I ordered that Waygu beef noodle bowl online. Sauce, pretty good! Not enough noodles. The "waygu" quality of the beef added nothing. Use pretty good, but cheaper beef! Add more noodles! Keep the sauce! This is my "expert advice". Tasty, but NOT worth $29 and that's because of the "highfalutin' beef" and when one orders a noodle bowl, they want a ton of NOODLES!!!! Don't change the sauce, though. Spicy, but not too spicy. Savory as well. Nice sauce.

Returning to an old stomping ground is always a bit of a gamble. I used to work in the Gables and Tap 42 was a regular spot for me back when the service was as sharp as the drinks. Unfortunately, this Sunday brunch felt less like a happy reunion and more like we were invisible.
We were seated when the restaurant was fairly empty, which you’d think would guarantee attentive service. Instead, we sat there for about ten minutes without a single greeting. I’m not a high-maintenance guy, but I generally prefer to order my food before I start contemplating retirement. I eventually had to get up and ask the hostess to send a search party to find us a waiter. It definitely feels like the service standards have gone downhill since my days as a regular here. To make matters worse, there was a stack of dirty plates at the bar that greeted us when we walked in and was still there when we left. I think they might be part of the lease agreement now.
The frustrating part is that the food is still genuinely excellent. The kitchen is firing on all cylinders, but the front of the house seems to be operating on a delay. If you have infinite patience, the meal is worth it, but don't expect the snappy service this place used to be known for.

Always having a good time at Tap42. Either for brunch or any other time, it’s always a good place to go with family or friends. Saturdays with Happy Hour makes it more interesting. The food is good, the service also good, as well as the atmosphere. A lot of people always having fun next to you. The outdoors area is also a great option. Paid street parking but somewhat difficult to find a spot nearby.

Food was good: party of 4, had the chicken avocado salad, steak sandwich and smash burger. The atmosphere was chill, relaxed, no pressure- inside and outdoor seating is available. On this occasion we made reservations to sit inside and unfortunately walked into A situation where the A/C was broken…. Very hot! Not pleasant. Happy I had a red sangria to stay cool.
On the other hand our waiter, Jorge was very nice and accommodating- service was good. Gave it a 4 star but will go back and try other food selections- maybe even another location other than the coral gables - just to weigh out differences. Jorge really pushed it to the 4 star rating.

I’m not from Coral Gables, but I stopped by Tap 42 during my visit and had an awesome experience. It was really busy when I went, I think there was a game on, but Ella, the bartender, was incredible. She stayed calm, was super friendly, and made great drinks like the margarita and gin & tonic even with the crowd. The sliders and Philly steak egg rolls were both fantastic, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service overall was excellent, and the atmosphere and location were hard to beat. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Coral Gables and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

She was so sweet and also recommended the tres leches, its was amazing!! will definitely come back for more. the bartenders made amazing drinks as well!

I had such an amazing experience at Tap 42! My waitress, Yami, was the best — super friendly, funny, very outgoing she really made the whole night more enjoyable. She gave me great recommendations, and everything she suggested was delicious. I got the Prohibition Burger and tried the chicken with rigatoni, both were super yummy, but the crispy rice salmon appetizer is my absolute favorite. The lychee cocktail was perfectly balanced and so refreshing too. The food was amazing, the vibes were great, and Yami’s service made it even better. Exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for — I’ll definitely be back!

LOVE Tap 42! This is the Go to place for my wife & I! We grab a Bold Rock Cider to drink and she usually has the Ahi Poke Salad 🥗 which offers fresh tuna chunks and macadamia nuts.
My go to is the Drunken Goat Burger with mixed meat, goat cheese, and red berry sauce, served on the side, as I get it lettuce wrapped with sweet potato fries with a cinnamon dip. YUM!! 😋 Resonably priced.
Service is Always friendly, and even if they make a slight error in serving, Tap is quick to remedy the issue. Good Vibes and a Good time, stop in and Tap! ENJOY!!

Was in the area for training and stopped at Tap 42 for lunch. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls but unfortunately they were too greasy for me and really wasn’t able to fully enjoy them. The restaurant was nice and service was friendly.

We had a large private party at Tap 42 Coral Gables and had the best experience. Julian helped us with our reservation and was super informative and a pleasure to work with. We selected the ultimate bites and open bar package and both the food and drinks were delicious. Our primary server, Alejandro, was amazing; it was no easy task helping our group of 60+ people, but he was incredibly quick and friendly from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have my brother’s graduation party. Thanks for everything, Tap 42 Coral Gables!

I had an exceptional dining experience, thanks entirely to our incredible server aroline. From the moment we were seated, she was sweet, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, offered thoughtful recommendations, and handled everything with genuine care and professionalism. It’s rare to come across service this seamless and sincere. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor elevated the entire meal. Outstanding service—I’ll absolutely be returning!

Enjoyed a beautiful bottomless brunch at Tap42 today with our server Alejandro!!!! He was the perfect amount of present and giving us space!! The food was tasty, colorful, and vibrant. The key was the iced champagne bottle at the table for self pour bc i was on a first date and lord knows i needed as many self poured mimosas as i could get (;

First time visiting this location in Coral Gables and it was exactly as I expected it to be! Delicious! Awesome service! Great drinks! And the vibe was perfect! Absolutely enjoy the comfortable outdoor seating and with a perfect view to catch a sports game too. Ended up going with a sandwich this time around and wow Tap 42 can't miss. The server was right, you can't go wrong with any of the options here. I've been several times and it always has been a blast. I recently learned about a new rewards program the restaurant has too. So if you're a frequent flyer, make sure to enroll!
