A word from Tarragon

Sometimes, it all comes together. The look, the feel, the flavor, the service. At Tarragon, we like to surprise people. While our location is Downtown Sunnyvale, our atmosphere is very uptown, indeed. Our menu provides fresh and local flavors. Whether it's our oven baked seafood, sausage & chicken… paella, or fresh beef prepared over a mesquite grill, dinner at Tarragon is unforgettable. Tarragon also features a banquet room for private dining for up to 250 people with amenities including a full bar, dance floor, and patio. Come and surprise yourself.Continued

"We have been to Tarragon a few times before and were satisfied. We re-visited, after a long hiatus, to try out their Early bird Special ($20/person for three course meal). The main entree portions for the early bird special are as a few others have commented - small. A few bites and it is gone. We had three in our part and we ordered the Pork Tenderlion, Grilled Salmon and the Rack of Lamb. All three entrees were prepared well and were good, but nothing special. Of the three entrees, the Salmon was the largest with respect to portion size (what someone may expect as a entree portion). The Pork and Lamb were pretty small portions and we were left feeling like they were appetizers, so just set your expectations appropriately."

"Excellent experience, all around. We showed up early, and had a few drinks at the bar - beautiful bar, nicely set up for socializing, felt "right in the middle of the action". We were seated on time, and proceeded to have a fabulous meal x4 - each of our party thought their meal was excellent, and the ambience is always a big plus here. We never felt rushed, and the service was top-rate. Great time in a New York-style bistro atmosphere - highly recommended for an adult get-away."
