Chef Mark Tarbell immediately elevated fine dining in Phoenix when he opened his "Neighborhood Restaurant for the Nation", Tarbell's. Chef Mark firmly believes that the Tarbell's staff are the stars. Hundreds of accolades later, the Tarbell's team continues to serve relevant, curated, Farm to Table, inspirational dishes and classic comfort food in the elegant, art-filled space. Chef brings his passion, curiosity and deep knowledge to the menu and award winning wine list. His mission - you'll feel warm, welcomed, your soul nourished and a night to remember.

Mark has won five Emmy Award’s as the host of AZ PBS’s “Plate and Pour” and “Check, Please! Arizona” and is a two time inductee into The Arizona Hall of Culinary Fame as Outstanding Chef and Media Master. Mark's adventures include Tarbell’s Restaurant, Wine Bar (Tavern), The Wine Store, Tarbell’s Catering, Tarbell’s The Goods at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Terminal 4, The Tavern at Terminal 3 and The Bond- Cultivate and The Vault.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark Tarbell

From the OpenTable editors: Legendary PBS television host and James Beard-nominated chef Mark Tarbell opened his namesake restaurant in 1994, and it’s still one of the city’s hottest reservations. Come for classic dishes like Scotch beef and a grass-fed wagyu along with seasonal, seafood-forward mains, all served in a cozy space filled with paintings. A knockout wine list and fancy supplements like lobster and caviar make Tarbell’s the ultimate special occasion destination.

    Even though we took about 2 1/2 hours, we never felt rushed Food was delicious as always and I loved the carrot and celery root soup! Tarbell’s always has the best soups! Aaron was a wonderful server. Friendly, attentive, personable and very knowledgeable about the whole menu and wine list. 5 stars for Aaron! Thanks to everyone for a wonderful New Year’s Eve celebration!

    This was our third time dining here and I am exceedingly disappointed. It began when I tried to modify my reservation time and I received such a sardonic reply from the manager. My brother and I are vegetarians. During our initial two times here, my family had such fabulous experiences. I am so perplexed as to why things have changed. The manger was a rotund man wearing glasses with black hair who greeted all of the other diners, except my brother and I. We were the only melanated people dining there at that particular time. We will never return because our waitress was subpar due to the fact that we had to constantly remind her to refill our drinks. The french fries were dry and salty. Finally, we felt rushed because while we were still eating, the staff would ask to take our plates.

    Aaron our waiter was great. He knew the menu well and made thoughtful recommendations. We had the specials - duck and stuffed lobster. Also enjoyed a couple salads and app. Ended with the cheesecake with caramel sauce. Heavenly. Service overall was top notch and food amazing. Best meal since we moved here 2 years ago!

    My wife and I sat at the bar and enjoyed amazing wine and appetizers. Our bartender, Kai, couldn’t have been more delightful. Like Tarbell’s Tavern, it’s a bonus to be able to reserve seats at the bar.
