   Amazing food, service and ambiance. Patty Melt , lobster roll and grilled cheese are all amazing! And the coconut cream pie is off the charts!

   Food was average. WAY overpriced. The wine, the food… it’s just not that special for the price. Literally their “retail wine shop” is 30-40% over Total Wine. Just embarrassingly over-priced.

   The food was definitely not worth the price, very bland.

   Tarbell's Tavern and Tarbell's has been on bucket list to try. Finally, I had the opportunity to go and it was such a let down. I had 7:00PM dinner reservations for a party of 5. When we arrived we were greeted and seated at a perfect table. The restaurant has a very cozy Bistro feel to it. A lot of customers dining and the noise level was very loud. Honestly this is where our experience started going down hill was with our server and at the end with our billing. We felt rushed with our server, then ignored to the point I had to wave down another server to order more cocktails and to get the bill, especially knowing we were the last seating. Our server's demeanor was like he was doing us a favor throughout our meal. We ordered a Cosmopolitan and a Titos Martini, Slightly Dirty, Shaken cold with extra olives on the side. The Martini was delivered by our server in a very rushed fashion, spilling it on the menus. In addition the martini was served in a whiskey tumbler with ice. To note though: my Cosmopolitan was perfect. Food to follow were 3 Classic American Burgers, the Seared Chilean Sea Bass, Kale, Goat Cheese Beet Salad, Markito's Chilaquiles with Vegan Chorizo and 1 Side of Thin Fries. The food was good, was it a WOW? No. Especially not for the price of just a burger on a plate. We had ask our server for separate checks for the party of 3 and then a check for my friend and I of what we ordered. First off, my friend had 2 martinis, why was one $11 and the other $15. We got that adjusted. In addition, my friend had a double burger, no fries, but realized we got charged for Fries after we got home and I was reviewing the bill. I asked my the party of 3 if they got charged for fries also and yes they did because they ordered them. Just the whole vibe from the service was just bad and not having an accurate bill just left a bad taste in my mouth and disappointment. Atmosphere: cozy bistro feel. Service: bad. Food: good but not a WOW.

   We have been regulars at Tarbell’s Tavern for several years. We love the gourmet comfort food, service and added bonus of selecting a great bottle of wine from Tarbell’s Wine Shop next door. There’s no where else in the Valley with this winning combination.

   The lobster rolls are just like I had in Maine - fresh and no added ingredients other than lobster and butter! Perfect!

   The Tavern never disappoints! Food, staff and atmosphere is spot on! And the chocolate chip cookies really complete the meal. We always get an order to take home.
