Absolutely delicious! This restaurant was booked on a whim, and I wasn’t expecting much. I’d been on vacation for two weeks, dinning out for every meal- I was getting pretty tired of restaurant food. Tar & Roses was the last restaurant before I went back home. All things considered, I thought all of the dishes were very impressive. Normally, I’d have a dish or two to nitpick, but everything we ordered was perfect and well thought out. Great service too, our server was very knowledgeable!

All I can say is wow! Food was amazing- those fall off the bone pork ribs and delicious squid ink kaarage should not be missed. Even their house sake was lovely. And their service was fast and warm and friendly. The Yakitori selection was satisfactory, we’ve had better, but we certainly would come back for the rest of the menu. 👍👍👍
