Tarbell's

What a fantastic evening. Wine was fabulous. Calamari appetizer.... Fabulous. The halibut was tops... Beautiful... Delicious. We had to swap dinners halfway through because we both thought our food must be the best. It was so good we couldn't leave without trying three creme brulee and apple cobbler. I'm still starry eyed over it. My wine was always filled whenever anybody walked by and saw it nearly emptied. Seriously great experience.

Our previous visit to Tarbell’s about a year and a half ago was good. But our visit on 3/24/19 was not. The service was very slow. The food was too salty and the noise was extremely loud. As much as I like Jimmy Hendrix and other intense rockers, it doesn’t make for the best dinner music. The potato that came with the salmon was tasteless and wringing in grease. We couldn’t wait to finish our meal and leave. A big disappointment for expensive food.

They were able to accommodate a large party, allowed us to select whatever we wanted from the main menu, allowed us to split the check, allowed me to bring in decorations, and fully helped pull off an epic surprise dinner for a friend. They also were patient and accommodating when it came to food allergies and the needs of each patron I had with me. I had originally planned for 22, but 2 could not make it last minute - 20 people is still a huge crowd and yet the service was flawless. So incredibly grateful for all they did to make this event memorable.

Came here for my girlfriends birthday. Thankfully made a reservation well in advance as people were being quoted a 2 hour wait! Hands down the best steak I have ever had in my life. Not only that the mussels were exquisite and the drinks were delicious. Everything from the staff to the last bite of food I had satisfied everything that I would want or expect from a fine dining restaurant such as this.

We have been going to Tarbell’s for NYE since 2008. It’s our tradition. This year we brought a friend with us. Every time I get the Salmon which has a molasses lime sauce, crispy potato cake & greens. The husband changes it up each year, however this year he went with the Salmon as well. We also treat ourselves to one of their amazing desserts. I tend to get the cheesecake and he gets the bread pudding with bourbon sauce. In years different table items at the beginning of the meal, bread and their amazing chickpeas. This year it was hummus and crispy pita bread. It was so bland and not very good that no one at the table really ate it. The Salmon was overcooked this year and for the 1st time I had to use a knife to cut it. The potato cake was the size of the plate, normally it’s been smaller and in the middle of the plate under the greens and Salmon, that way it soaks up some of the sauce. This year it just crumbled off the plate onto the table making it more of a nuisance than a nice added crunch. The husband felt the same way. The friend got the Mark’s Famous Spaghetti, he was feeling under the weather but liked it. The desserts are normally an amazing experience. My cheesecake was so cold it felt like it was straight out of the freezer and lacked the smoothness it normally has. I took most of it home and still have not gone back to finish it. The husband's bread pudding was disappointing. The sauce was too strong that it overpowered the whole dessert and he didn’t finish it. The friend got a scoop of chocolate gelato and said it was fine. We decided on our way home that we are going to change where we go for NYE.
