    This was our third visit to this legendary place! This time celebrating my birthday but the treatment this time was as good as our prior visits. The bar staff were awesome, Jen and Christian were awesome throughout our dinner service and the tour of their amazing Tavern on The Green gazebo and wine cellar was an off the hook experience. Thank you to everyone at the Sardine Factory for making my birthday celebration such a memorable evening. We will see y’all whenever we’re within 100 miles of this amazingly historic place!!

    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!
