    Waitress was delightful, and gave us plenty of time to chat before ordering. She checked in with us regularly and brought a birthday dessert without asking.

    The food and service were exceptional, as usual. I love the Salmon, but also really like the lobster ravioli when they're featured as a special, and the meatloaf. My wife loves the Chili-crusted chicken.

    We really enjoyed our dinner here! It was our first time at this restaurant since moving to the area. We had calamari as an appetizer, prawn pasta as an entree, and Alaskan halibut as an entree. Everything was very good! We will be back I’m sure! Our server made it an easy, enjoyable, and quick meal. Very happy with Tarpy’s.

    Tarpy’s has been one of our favorite places to dine for many years. We are happy that they brought back a version of their popular Wine Down Wednesday.
