3Peaks Public House & Taproom — Restaurant in Washington

Where do I even start. We decided to have a nice evening out. and came across this little tap house. I remembered it from shopping at the seafood market next door. We entered the Tap House to ZERO welcome. No signs stating if we seat ourselves or not. After standing a while we grabbed what I would consider the most uncomfortable seat in a restaurant I have even laid my backside on. As we slide into the seat the lovely crunch of the days food dropped on the floor under out feet was unpleasant at best. I discovered finally from a small sign above the bar we would have to order from the bar not our table. I ordered 2 orders of Fish Tacos and 2 beers because we were 2 people. After a 45 min wait our very cold single order of tacos finally arrived. I asked the bartender what happened to our other order of tacos. I was told I ordered only 1. Yes my wife and I only want 2 small tacos. She said she would not charge me for them and will get another order out in 30 more min. We ordered another beer and after an hour more our backsides were destroyed our tummies were empty and our patience had wone thin. I went to the bar asking if it would be much longer for them and the bar tender said we never asked for another order. At this point I Paid our very large tab for 2 ice cold tacos and 2 beers. Never ever again will I go to this place. Nor will I buy...

Short story: don't plan events here and don't trust the owner to honor his word (doesn't offer contracts). Staff and people working at 3Peaks are wonderful, gracious humans and the beer is great. This review is not based on the atmosphere, the beer, the food, or the service.

Longer story: We planned an event at 3Peaks. Met with Zach (the owner) and discussed the event in detail months before, mutually agreed on a rental fee and what would be included in this fee. Fast forward to week of event, Zach is changing our terms and hard to get ahold of. Day of event, staff working at 3Peaks doesn't even know we have an event being held there. Some accommodations were made, and we were thankful for this, however the terms that had been discussed were thrown out the window at a minutes notice because the owner said it would be a busy night and he refused to set aside ANY space for us. Space that had previously been reserved for months. He basically told us he could make more money keeping his entire space open and didn't really care what we'd agreed upon before. We did not end up paying the rental fee, although we gladly would have and would have preferred this, and no legal contracts were broken, but I write this review to warn anyone who might want to hold an event here....

Exceptionally long wait for truly abysmal food. Additionally, the man at the cash register was gratuitously pretentious and condescending. I will recommend this place to people who I do not like.

In more detail, we waited approximately an hour for our food (we had a very simple order, but simple things are apparently challenging for these people). The food was cold. I got shrimp tacos, and the shrimp tasted like it came from the Willamette, or Costco. My confederates ordered fish and chips. Burgerville serves far superior fish and chips. The chips were cold. The fish tasted like it came from the Willamette.

The only thing quasi-bearable about this experience is that the wait was so long that we had to order extra drinks. I suspect that this is their entire business model: serve atrocious food, but have such a long wait and such a comprehensive alcohol menu that their patrons are utterly wasted by the time the food arrives.

Additionally, we were expecting a free dresser to arrive at our home from a friend. We budgeted over an hour and a half to get lunch prior to our friend arriving. Tragically, our friend was disappointed because we had to wait a long time and had to reschedule with our friend. The dresser is in limbo as I write...
