    Several large parties near us so the noise level was very high and we found it difficult to have conversation. Food was excellent and rich in flavor, took a while to be served as it was very busy on a Friday night. Overall very good service.

    Bill our server was great. My wife’s dinner was great. My steak was very tough. Bill did exchange my steak for the filet but that did not have a great deal of taste.

    I love the feel of the restaurant the overall look, it was busy and lots of activity, but didn’t feel too loud, I would return and try something else on the menu because everything else was enjoyable. We came for lunch and we didn’t get a lot of variety and didn’t pick well, but I always hope to have at least 75% good food, this time was only 25%.

    In a dessert of chicken wings and ranch… The food at Tarbell’s is like a vacation back home to NYC where cuisine is an art and a passion. Unlike anything else in this city. The menu changes but I can confidently pick anything and know I will love it. Warning: The Hostesses will not honor the 15 minute grace period that is noted on OT. I called to inform them I was 15 minutes behind to be told I was being pushed onto the waitlist to seat those who are on time. This behavior does not match the warm service and atmosphere of this establishment. I was 17 minutes late and she wanted to let me know that I was “passed the grace period” which she told me she wasn’t honoring anyway. I will return and hope to have a better experience with the host staff so that I can say everything was perfect!
