As ownership changed, one is always “concerned” when returning to a favorite. No disappointment as food as good as ever, service spot on, and general good feeling and experience of a wonderful meal maintained. Congrats to new ownership and will def come back.

Went on christmas eve. It was expectedly crowded. Food was awesome. Great service. Its a pricey place, we paid $180 for two people. But we don’t eat out much so it was great! The waitress was very nice, attentive. Not like Il Fornaio in Carmel on Thanksgiving. That place had horrible service!! Tarpys is great!
