Tarla Mediterranean Grill & Bar - Napa Valley

Amazing service!

It’s always a great experience when I go to Tarla. They have great social distancing tables and all the staff were wearing masks. We had the zucchini cakes which are one of my favorite appetizers. They are are not heavy and come with a yogurt sauce which is a perfect balance. I also had the Pomegranate Cabernet short ribs with risotto. The short ribs were tender and soft. They had so much flavor as for the risotto could of used more seasoning it was kind of bland. We shared a dessert which was a Mascarpone and apricot dessert with pistachios. It was perfect for sharing light and creamy not super sweet with dry apricot and an amazing apricot sorbet.

Wonderful food and great service. It was a very enjoyable visit

Awesome experience! Great food and service! I will be back!!

Eaten here a few times and never been disappointed, food, service, and everything overall is PERFECT

The host was rude. We felt very uncomfortable and uneasy. I was told there were vegan options when I arrived. But there were no began options. As a black family...we definitely saw that our treatment was not as accommodating as it should have been. We weren't welcomed. Glad that we dont ever have to go back.

I ordered a simple gyro and the meat was overcooked and tasteless. My wife had traditional Greek disk, Saganaki and it was flamed with brandy and the cheese was very under cooled. I had a very good Greek salad and baklava. The chef needs to recognize that less is more. Let the simple Mediterranean flavors prevail.

Love the lamb burger but tried the skewered lamb this time. Awesome!

We absolutely loved the food, great taste, and amazing quality! All the ingredients used were farmed fresh. Enjoyed our time, I would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed our meals at the Tarla. It was in the same building as Andaz Hyatt so made it pretty easy to access. Great service and food was great. Kids also enjoyed their food.

Initially booked here to try the octopus salad for lunch, when we got there we were notified that they were out of the salad. Would have been useful to know that right when they gave us the menus.

The sangria didn’t have a flavor and was overly diluted, didn’t help that when the ice melted the flavor further diluted.

I did enjoy the zucchini fritters. They were crispy, flavorful, and just the perfect bite. The black Manhattan was also perfectly balanced. My partner had the crab Benedict and enjoyed it quite much. A nice surprise were the fries, more like potatoes. They were well seasoned and perfectly crisp.

The service was great, our server was friendly and checked in with us periodically. They even have a contactless payment option.

I tried to use my OpenTable reward and was told they have never seen it before. They tried putting in the numbers from the reward card, and it didn’t go through. I talked to the manager because I could see how busy the server was. The manager said they haven’t seen it either. I tried calling OpenTable but the wait was long, so I had to leave.

I had also asked to substitute salad for fries. The server said it is up to the chef. When he brought me the food, he said I was lucky the chef said it was ok to substitute.

My crab sandwich tasted like mayonnaise. My husband’s lamb burger was good.

I think they have so much business as a restaurant on first street in Napa, service just isn’t their top priority

Good to be out again.

The food and service were fantastic! We will definitely be going back.

Tarla was amazing! Service was excellent, even with the modifications to outdoor dining. Food was excellent and the drinks are exceptional. They have a great variety and the quality is top notch. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff was very accommodating and made us feel like family. We will be going back!

We had wonderful brunch for my daughter’s birthday! Thank you for making this day memorable.

Loved the food

The food and service was amazing. Just eat here, period. You won’t be disappointed. The entire menu - top to bottom - is solid. Short rib was BOMB 🤤

We had cocktails to start which were very well made and beautiful to look at. We also had the zucchini fritters which were not as expected but very good warmed the next day. The meatball appetizer was delicious as well as the short ribs. Delivery was a bit off no doubt due to COVID, but all in all it was served as best as can be reasonably expected with the number of people being served and of spacing limitations.

Went with three good friends to celebrate all of us receiving our second vaccination. We had a very enjoyable experience. Dining now is all outdoors, servers were all masked and tables were spaced correctly. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Will definitely put on my list of favorites in Napa.

Everything was delicious - we ordered appetizers and drinks and sat out on the patio. One of our favorites in Napa!

Food and service was excellent

Wonderful food with good service. Given COVID restrictions we ate outdoors on the sidewalk under a tent. With that in mind ambiance was average for a tent covered sidewalk. Likewise street noise at noon was moderate.

The food was good enough that we are already planning to return with family members when all of us have been immunized.

Again great food good service and reasonably priced.

Awesome food and drinks with great service. Enjoyed it completely.

Food and drinks were delicious! Will go again to try other items on the menu

Waited an hour and a half for our food and it was cold when it arrived. Spent nearly $300 for a rubbish evening. Wish we’d never booked it.

I think they were understaffed bc our waiter did not check on us that often. My dish (salmon pasta) was very bland and I had to ask for them to return. The cocktails and appetizers were great! It might’ve just been a one off experience !

The food was very heavy. Pasta was bland and dry. Fish was good with excessive butter. Overall, non of us enjoyed the our food. Napa downtown is known for excellent food choices but Tarla was very disappointing.

time with loved ones, family and friends

One of my favorites in Napa, always outstanding service, and the food is always delicious!

I don't know if our server just had an off-night, but we waited 2 hours between sitting down and ordering our food and getting our entrees. We waited patiently and didn't say anything, but our server did come over at some point and joke"oh man, the chef really owes you dessert at this point." I was pretty hungry and cold by the time our entrees came. And then when we didn't actually order dessert, nothing was comped on our final check. Their outdoor sidewalk set-up is great, but the service we got was poor and food was only mediocre. Maybe another night would change my mind, but I don't think I would return.

Tarla is always fantastic, can't wait to go there again soon, and specially when covid restrictions are lifted.

3.5 out of 5 for overall experience

Check in and seating was a breeze. Can’t fault them for the weather (raining) and tent seating. Service and food was just fair. Had higher expectations for a restaurant in a foody town like Napa.

Given that it’s Covid, we knew that things would be a little different with outdoor seating. However it was raining and very cold and where we sat on the sidewalk was nowhere under the umbrellas. The heaters didn’t give off any heat and we were rained on throughout our meal. There was a tented area with heaters which we thought would be where we’d eat, but we were seated at one of the three tables in the rain. Very poorly designed eating area. Granted we could have just left, but we were hungry and we were already there. The food (moussaka, chicken kebabs, spanakopita) and drinks (Piece of Greece, the Jeyda) were delicious so if it weren’t for the great food, I’d give this 1-0 stars.

We went for Valentine’s & we are happy with our lunch. Service is always great.

Tarla never disappoints! Went for a Valentine’s Day lunch, food is always fresh, tasty and great! The hospitality from the workers and owner, Yusuf is always welcoming and warm! If you’re in Napa, don’t miss out on this place.

The service was fantastic and the food was lovely as usual.
