Reviews for Tarbell's in Phoenix, AZ
We were looking online for a nice restaurant for date night while on vacation from out of town and we ran across Tarbell’s... here on Google. One word, AMAZING. We were able to get a reservation for a Friday night the morning of and from the get go ourtime here was great! First off, the hostesses were so kind and thoughtful. They were running a little late and weren’t readyto seat us at our reservation time so they helped us find a seat at the bar to wait. Then they came and checked on us so wedidn’t feel forgotten. The hostess that sat us down, I wish she was our waitress. She was so kind and was very happy to pointout her favorites on the menu when we asked for her opinion. She said she doesn’t get asked much as a hostess, but loves itwhen she does get asked. We ordered the shrimp tempura (our favorite dish all evening), duck?? ragout with creamy polenta (5stars), and not pictured the burger (amazing, and what the hostess and our waitress recommended). We also ordered sides ofBrussel sprouts and mac & cheese, these I was disappointed in and wouldn’t order again. Sorry for the long review! But thisplace is amazing and you have to go! If we are ever back in Phoenix, we will return. Read more
Love Tarbell's. Part of it was feeling divinely led here to celebrate 2 years ago. Recently I was traveling on my birthday. I... was going to stay in the hotel because of a leftover dessert, and take it easy. God wanted to bless me. Their seafood isincredible, everything is incredible. After finding out it was my birthday, they surprised me with this choc. mousse dessert.One of my favorite restaurants in the U.S. Go spend it, you're worth it. Read more
This restaurant probably doesn't need a positive review given its following and history but there are a few things I want to... highlight. First, dining at Tarbell's is a luxury experience. The menu is filled with a variety of entrees and other dishesthat cover a wide range of tastes. The service is impeccable with people teaming to ensure your every need is met. One ofthe most unique features is their willingness to split entrees if you are torn between two dishes. In my case, I had thechicken and seared halibut which you can see in the photo I posted. It's a wonderful way to extend your experience withoutadding cost. If you drink alcoholic beverages then be prepared to see your bill rise considerably. Mixed drinks and wine comeat a premium price. That is pretty typical for fine dining. The one dish I cannot recommend is the corn ribs appetizer. Ours lacked flavor and substance although it was interesting to look at. Really more of a novelty dish. I look forward to mynext visit there and always appreciate how delicious the food is and the masterful preparation of chicken, pasta, seafood andsteaks. It a gem that I hope will be with us for many years to come. Read more

If you haven’t been to Tarbell’s, be intentional, go this week! If you’ve been, you know what I mean! Perfect for romance,... friends time or business. They’ve mastered the classy casual vibe, really mastered! Amazing food with presentations so lovelyyou are reluctant to disturb the view by eating it, but do! Because the taste is amazing. The service top notch. Thanks Javier!Looking out at their patio sent me back to somewhere, I don’t know, maybe Brazil or Europe. The larger than usual high toptables in the bar area are perfect for eating and conversation. Read more
Very good upscale restaurant with unique offerings and extensive wine menu. The staff were very courteous. Our server had a nice... personality without being over the top. All our food was delicious and the cheesecake is something special ( topped withrosemary salted caramel). The tables are a little close together for my liking in this type environment. Overall very pleased. Read more
Tarbell's is truly a fine dining experience with stellar service and impeccable food. We were there for an anniversary, and... arrived to find our reserved table strewn with rose petals. The lights were low and moody, the background music pleasant. Thefood was perfection. For our start we ordered the house-made burrata, which at this time included a mixed berry and chia seedjam with a bold balsamic reduction. The cheese was firm on the outside and beautifully gushy in the middle. We also received arock shrimp tempura that had a delicate crispiness from rice flour; honestly, one of the best shrimp dishes I've had in mylife. For a start drink, I ordered the Elixir 6, which was a unique, complex cocktail that included beautiful adornments. Myhusband had a local beer that he greatly enjoyed. I asked our server for a recommendation for a white wine to go with the salmonand he pointed me toward Cliff Lede, a Sauvignon Blanc, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The current Scottish salmonoffering is served on mustard mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The fish was perfectly cooked and flaky. My husband trulyindulged and went with a current special, the Moon River Ribeye, which came with root vegetables, crisped fingerling potatoes,and three sauces to accompany the meat. This was among the best steaks he's ever had in a restaurant. We were delighted whenour server brought out a caramel custard and a cup of chocolate mousse for our anniversary. They weren't things I ever wouldhave ordered off a menu, but they were stunningly delicious. We were both wowed. They made for a perfect end for the meal. Iwould come again to Tarbell's for a special occasion. It was fantastic in every way. Read more
Innovative food with a lot of choices. Several dishes were a bit heavy on the salt, and this coming from people that like salt!... Service is impeccable! Don't miss the cheesecake!

Our party found itimpossible to converse without yelling. Sadly, it made a special occassion memorable for the wrong reasons!! Th Read more
