   First of all, I did not like paying $28 for a so-so Chardonnay second of all the barmaid was either inept or overworked. I’m not sure I sat at the bar and when I went to order, she highly recommended the lobster risotto just raved about it so I said OK. It was average at best hardly any lobster. I also asked for bread service. She brought it after I had eaten my meal well I was 90% done then I ask about chocolate desserts and she said the mousse is to die for I said well what else do you have and she said profiteroles so I said excellent do the profiteroles you guessed it she brought me the mousse I don’t like mousse. It was easily 15 minutes until she brought me the profiterole so not really impressed.

   Hello Susan! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I am so sorry that you didn't enjoy the risotto or either of the glasses of wine. I shared this feedback with our head chef as we want to make sure that each guest does receive a good amount of lobster in their risotto. Please always know that if you are not satisfied with your food you can communicate that with your server. They would be more than happy to find you something else to enjoy. As for the service, I have our general manager looking into this further & connecting with the bar tender to make sure she feels supported in her role to serve our guests. Again, thank you for leaving us a review. It is when our guests do this that we are able to learn & grow.

   We had a great experience at Tarbell’s! We have been there before and it doesn’t disappoint! I had the peppercorn NY which was excellent. It was served with fresh spinach sautéd in garlic & the most incredible thin French fries I have ever had! My husband had the fish special which was a delicious sea bass. Not sure what was in the sauce but it was outstanding, so tasty and a beautiful presentation! Not a cheap meal but an incredible meal with Kathryn as our server! Definitely give it a try!

   Tarbell's doesn't disappoint; you can count on consistent high quality food and service. It was my birthday and they took special care to make it special and sent out a beautiful cheesecake. Just the right amount of attentive. My husband loved the chilean sea bass special. My son loved the filet and my daughter and I were thrilled with the giant meatball. Thanks!! Always recommend!

   This was our first time going to Tarbell's and we didn't know what to expect, especially since we were celebrating our anniversary. Parking is a bit of a premium, especially on a busy night. They do have a valet service, which does take up about ⅓ of the parking spots. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the door and quickly seated after confirming our reservation. The servers were very quick to bring us water and bread with a pesto/olive oil dip. It was fantastic. Our head server was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive, as was the while serving staff, and even offered us a complimentary appetizer while we waited for our main course. We ordered the 40oz porterhouse for 2 and is was cooked to perfection. The sauces offered each took the steak to a different level. We had a fantastic anniversary dinner at Tarbell's and would highly recommend going. The only downside of the place was that we felt it was a little loud inside the restaurant. It is a pretty small area and voices carry very easily. With the semi open kitchen, servers and staff communicating and all the other patrons earing and having a good time, it did feel like you needed to elevate your voice level a little more than usual and at the point your neighbors at the table next to you will overhear your conversation. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Tarbell's and would certainly return amd recommend to friends.

   Hello Ian! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I am so happy to see that you enjoyed your time with us, and that your server took such good care of you! She is truly amazing and we are so grateful to have her on our team. I did see that things were a bit noisey for you all, and I do apologize for this. We do have acoustic insulation throughout the restaurant to help with the noise level, but on the a busy night, it's tough to control it. We do appreciate you for taking the time to communicate with us as your feedback is what allows us to learn and grow as a team. We look forward to welcoming you back in soon!

    Wonderful experience- greeted promptly seated at a lovely booth- served water and bread right away. Waiter very warm and friendly. Service and food very good and waiter was able to give us half orders - I will say Caesar salad ordinary - homemade pasta was delicious - also tasted the “meatball” and spaghetti really nice. Surprise dessert for someone celebrating birthday.
