Great date night spot. Staff was so nice and welcoming. This is a perfect Richmond experience spot!
Love Tarrant's! Each time has been wonderful. Especially happy with the way they are adhering to COVID19 procedures. Thank you for another great dining experience In a difficult time.
Love everything about this restaurant: sophisticated atmosphere, nice variety on the menu, good service!
Thanks for the wonderful review, Elle! I love how many options we offer. One of my favorite menus! The friendly, efficient service makes the restaurant even better!
Great local spot, with good service and always stellar food!
Thanks for the awesome review! We pride ourselves on good food and good service!
Great social distancing and nice meal. Took awhile for mains to come out- but service was friendly.
Thanks for the review, Maracaibo! I'm so glad the service was so amicable. We pride ourselves on good hospitality!
This ha been a favorite dinner spot for a long time. We had a post- Christmas family dinner here on Saturday and it was delightful!
Thanks for the amazing review, Cindy! I'm glad you and your family had such a great time with us and we hope to see you again soon!
Food and staff was excellent but was disappointed over the lack of Christmas ambience.
I'm so glad you had a great time with us! Due to limited funds this year, we were unable to do as much as we usually do. Hopefully next year things will be different!
We always enjoy brunch at Tarrants!
Thanks for the great review! I love brunch too!
No wait whatsoever after scheduling online. All employees were very professional. Not a long wait for food. Didn’t have to look for server if we needed anything. As usual, the food was great.
My husband and I enjoyed a perfect Thanksgiving dinner at Tarrant's Café this week. The restaurant is beautiful and Hannah our server was a joy. I had a traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole and cranberry relish. My husband chose a seafood combination. For dessert we shared an outstanding cranberry/banana bread pudding. We were both immeasurably pleased with our choices. In addition to the delicious food, I was impressed by the restaurant's careful COVID-19 precautions: distancing, disinfecting and all staff being properly masked. My husband and I plan to return to Tarrant's Café soon!
Hey Barb, thanks for the awesome review! I'm so glad you had such a great Thanksgiving with us and that our COVID precautions made you feel comfortable. We can't wait to have you back!
Wonderful evening and meal. Covid spacing took the worry out of indoor dining and we were never concerned that we were in harm's way. Excellent service from a waiter whose first concern was our service. Drinks were prompt and accurate, as were our appetizers and dinner selections. What a pleasure it was dining at Tarrant's Cafe. We'll be back!
Thanks for the amazing review, Jack! I'm so glad you felt so comfortable and had such a pleasant dining experience with us! I'll be sure to let our staff know to keep up the great work!
Great spot... delicious food... great service!
Thanks for the great review! We pride ourselves on good food and good hospitality. Glad you received both!
Great lunch time visit
Thanks for the review! I love our lunch entrees. Yuuuummyy!
Wonderful evening - perfect place to celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary. Great food, cheerful staff, snd great service.
Thanks for the wonderful review, Harley! I'm so happy you had a pleasant anniversary with us! I'll be sure to let our staff know to keep up the great work.
I keep trying to like this restaurant, but the food quality gets worse with every visit.
I'm so sorry for your terrible experiences. I'm so sorry the food is consistently bad. We pride ourselves on hospitality. We missed the mark terribly. We'd love to extend a gift card to you to see our improvements. To what email address could I send it to? Again, if there's anything else you could think of that needs to come to my attention, please let me know.
Excellent food and service!
Thanks for the great review! We pride our self on good hospitality and good food. Glad you received both!
Absolutely excellent meal. This was our first time at Tarrant‘s and it definitely will not be our last. Becca, our server, was very attentive and helpful. The meals were fabulous and the menu is quite extensive.
Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm so happy to hear your first experience with us was so enjoyable! I'll be sure to let Becca know to continue the great work!
This is the second time I have dined with Tarrants for brunch. I love their menu and the food is excellent. Your food arrives hot and satisfying. I will dine with the again.
The service was very good. The food was ok~ just ok. We spent $230 with tip included for just ok food. Before Covid we are out a lot. It just seems to me with limited seating and business trying to find some normalcy going out to eat at a nice restaurant like Tarrants should be better than just ok. The next question~ would I recommend Tarrants to a friend~ used to a hard yes. Still love the atmosphere so I will say yes and hope “ a friend” would have an excellent meal.....
Another delicious and COVID-safe meal with the friendly folks at Tarrant’s.
It just wasn’t good customer service.
Great ambiance. Extensive menu. Committed to customer service.
The overall experience was nice. I didn’t care too much for the Caesar salad not original at all.
Delicious. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. I recommend the crab cakes.
We enjoyed our evening at Tarrant’s. Covid precautions were strictly adhered to. The waitstaff was very attentive and made great suggestions on menu items.
My husband made reservations for my birthday. We arrived for out 7:00 pm reservation to be told that they had decided to close early a few hours before. No one contacted us to let us know that they would be closed. We then had to find another restaurant that could accommodate us at late notice. Very DISAPPOINTING. Fortunately, The Hardshell came to our rescue and we had a lovely dinner there.
awesome place ... awesome peeps
Yummy food and great service! We will return!
Best Bloody Mary ever!!
Great food, however we were rushed out and everybody was anxious to go home. We started getting the warning that "the kitchen closes at 9!" as soon as we sat down at 8:20. We wanted to have a good looking dessert we saw, but was informed that they didn't know if the kitchen was open, at 9:10 when we wanted to order a simple brownie sundae. So disappointed that everybody was in such a hurry to go home after restaurants have been closed for so long and urging everybody to "support your local business!" Well, support your clients!!!
The food was cold, my pastrami sandwich didn’t come with the rye bread I asked for, and the wait after ordering was a bit long.
Met some friends from out of town here because it was super close to their Airbnb and we were able to get a shirt notice reservation. They very carefully complied with all guidelines and the service, drinks, and food were great.
Waitress was very nice! They followed the rules for covid inside dining very well. My filet mignon was the thinnest cut I've ever seen. Wasn't bad but not much flavor or juices. Also it wasn't hot. Husband had the ribs. He thought they were ok. Son had tuna steak and he liked his. Dessert was the best part as it was excellent! Had the berry tart topped with ice cream and a slice of plain cheesecake. Definitely glad we ended our meal with those two items!!
Perfect night. Had an incredible waiter that knew the menu and made some suggestions which helped. Have to say their entire wait staff and bartender had great personalities as we sat rt next to the front entrance.
Great place for solid food
Thanks for the review, Eddie! I think our food is pretty solid too!
They were open and my friend and I had an enjoyable meal. Food was great, as was the atmosphere.
Thanks for the great review, Trip! I'm glad you and your friend had such a wonderful dining experience with us and we hope to see you again soon!
The service was awful. We waited forever to get our drinks. Finally after our drinks arrived, it took over 30 minutes to get our meal. When the server delivered the meal she never asked if we needed anything else. Just dropped the food and ran. The manager stopped by and gave an excuse, than a back handed comment, “You wouldn’t understand how the kitchen works.” Overall, awful experience. We will never go back.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. If you've read our other reviews, you can see that this is not our norm and I'm truly so sorry. It sounds like we had a really off night from the drinks and meal taking forever to the comment from management. We're all trying to get back in the swing of things from being closed for so long. I do hope that you can give us another chance to let us show you how truly great of a dining experience you can have with us. Thank you, Alicia, Office Manager
Had a great late dinner after a long day of packing and driving. Delicious food, an interesting draft menu, great service and reassuring safety protocol. Thanks to the whole Tarrant’s team for making us feel welcomed back.
Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm so glad we could make your long day better while also making you feel safe! I'll be sue to tell our staff to keep up the great work!
Good hostess, good waiter, good food and good time!!
Thanks for the review! We pride our self on good food and good service!
It was their first week back so some consideration is deserved. Dinners didn’t come out as described. Little things like ice cubes for a mixed drink we’re not as expected. 28 dollars for a fillet the size of a golf ball. I’ve been her plenty of times before. I’m sure they will get it together. The manager recognized the deficiencies and made good on some of the issues. The service was very good. I’ll be back, but will hope for a swift improvement curve. Thanks for being open. Getting out and having dinner out was great
Tom, I'm so sorry your dining experience with us was so mediocre. I am happy you are willing to come back and give us a chance and that the manager did their best in being accommodating. We're all getting back into the swing of things and I can promise we'll do better. I'll let our staff know to keep up the great work!
