While every meal at Harvester Kitchen is exceptional, the Feast of the Seven Fishes is absolutely out of this world. Bryan’s family tradition has become ours.

About the restaurant

When I was a child I grew up with my mother, grandmother and aunt. All of them were very good in the kitchen. They had different styles and they cooked every day. From ravioli, soup or patisserie, everything was made from scratch. Those ladies were my teachers. My first lesson was dishwashing, later it was helping as their assistant. To honor those amazing woman who helped me in my early days, I decided to open Tarquin to bring Sioux Falls our flavors, recipes and dishes. Tarquin is a piece of Buenos Aires in a remote corner of Sioux Falls commercial district. You are always going to be welcome here and we will always offer you our best.

The ambiance was excellent; we had reservations and were seated immediately. The server was right there, and the service was impeccable. The empanadas were excellent. I had the pasta, and my wife had a salmon dish. The ground beef cannoloni was OK, but the cheese and spinach cannoloni was excellent. I want to go back to try the beef selections. The wine selection was excellent

As owners of R Wine Bar, Riccardo and Marybeth are passionate about one thing: people. They believe that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. With a curated wine list, local craft beer on tap, and beautifully executed menu, Riccardo and Marybeth are thrilled to bring R Wine Bar & Kitchen to the East Bank of Downtown Sioux Falls along with their General Manager, Jane Allen, Assistant Manager Bailey Bernal, Sous Chef Caleb Carr, Sous Chef Esteban Gonzalez, and Culinary Director Adam Schumacher.
