    Last night was our first time going to dinner with our puppy and Tarpy’s has the best heated patio. The service was wonderful, our server Jaqueline was excellent. She was welcoming and friendly. We ordered the artichoke, honey sriracha ribs, and shared the 14 oz ribeye and brussel sprouts, it was more than enough for 2 people. The food was flavorful and it came out fast. I would come back the next time I’m in town.

    We loved everything we ate- 3 appetizers and our entrees- wagyu beef and the pork chop. Our cocktails were wonderful, as well as the service. After dinner we enjoyed a few minutes on the front patio relaxing around the roaring fire of one of 4 fire pits. It was a perfect dinner out!

    Great views, great staff, great food, the prime rib buffet and salmon was amazing, blue collar meal in billionaire ambiance- everything was awesome except for the one guy wearing a MAGA hat while he was dining. As expected, just what can we do with these nut jobs? Continue to be patient till there is a cure. The Grill is the best. Seaside is my home.
