A knockout wine list and fancy supplements like lobster and caviar make Tarbell’s the ultimate special occasion destination.

The only issue we had was when the assistant server would rudely interrupt our conversations (twice) rather than waiting a few seconds for us to have a break in our discussion. We were a bit put off by his lack of manners and professionalism by budding in so intrusively.
