    Friendly service, tasty cocktails, albeit a little pricey, average food. Came in for Sunday dinner and it was not very full Extensive menu but not as veg friendly as other spots in town. Might go back to try the pizza.

    A fun piece of history turned into a cozy neighborhood bar/eatery. Cheerful service, inventive bar drinks. Relaxed, moderately priced. Recommend!

    Food was great as always but they REALLY need to add a weekly (or even a monthly) dusting in the nooks and crannies of the dining booths. Ate lunch there and found the layers of dust in the booths to be unappetizing. Fantastic enthusiastic service. I understand that Tarrants is an old building but dust is not what I want to look at while I’m eating.

    Waitress was great, kitchen was quick. Food was okay but not amazing. Waited 15 minutes to be sat even with a reservation. When we approached the computer again to ask about our reservation we get rudely told by a waitress that other people have reservations too.

    The corn beef on my reuben sandwich was so tough and chewy it almost choked me. I could not even eat it. We waited too long for our bill and the waiter checked all the "GOOD" buttons before I had a chance to reply. I'll never go back

    We come regularly to have dinner prior to the Altria shows - we love it - food is always good - we brought friends with us this time and did not have our dinner until 7 which meant we had to box and take with us to make show on time - we arrived at 5:30 - our server was kind - food was good - however the time it took to get our food was not acceptable and made a bad impression on our friends

    Fantastic food from the appetizers to the desserts. Perfect menu to choose from with many great options, made my decision very hard, but that's how you know they are doing something right. Very nice ambiance.

    Food was really good. Tasty. Nice menu selection. But the service was lousy. Took forever to place our order or get drinks refilled and the dinner was brought out with no silverware so we had to wait to eat once it came.
