Chef brings his passion, curiosity and deep knowledge to the menu and award winning wine list. His mission - you'll feel warm, welcomed, your soul nourished and a night to remember.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark Tarbell

From the OpenTable editors: Legendary PBS television host and James Beard-nominated chef Mark Tarbell opened his namesake restaurant in 1994, and it’s still one of the city’s hottest reservations. Come for classic dishes like Scotch beef and a grass-fed wagyu along with seasonal, seafood-forward mains, all served in a cozy space filled with paintings. A knockout wine list and fancy supplements like lobster and caviar make Tarbell’s the ultimate special occasion destination.

    Food was good. Average to smallish sized portions which is fine with me. Excellent service and atmosphere. I had the Scottish salmon, which to me didn’t have much flavor. Wife had the sea bass which was excellent. Must try the Penicillin drink! Excellent.

    The other evening, we celebrated a birthday at Tarbell’s, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive service set the stage for a special night. The food was outstanding. My wife had the mussels, and she said they were some of the best she had had since our seaside dining experiences in Normandy—fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. I opted for the bolognese, which was fantastic: rich, hearty, and beautifully balanced. Every bite reminded me of why Tarbell’s has such a great reputation. The cocktails were equally impressive. I enjoyed a Manhattan that was expertly crafted, and one of our guests couldn’t stop raving about their Old Fashioned—a true testament to the skill of the bar staff. From start to finish, Tarbell’s delivered an exceptional dining experience. Whether celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an excellent meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. We’ll certainly be returning!

    Always consistently fantastic. The food and service are some of the best in the valley. I recommend the chicken or ribbon pasta. These are classic Tarbell’s dishes. Enjoy

    This was my first time dining at Tarbell’s and I have to say it was the best experience. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, bubbly. They knew the menu, including the bartenders. Best part as I was leaving, I’m given a little wrapped brownie a tiny present. Thanks for the great hospitality ❤️😊 I’ll be returning.
