Tar & Roses

Ambiance was lacking due to Covid-
Outside, on a side street, but the table didn’t wobbly and there were enough heaters to be comfortable.

Amazing food and service. We loved everything we ordered. Will definitely be back!

We had a great meal. The waiter made great recommendations and loved the tapas concept.

Food was good but when we were clearing our table, we asked to take the remainder of the food home. We assumed that our server heard us but when we asked for the bag when we were leaving, he said it was a misunderstanding & the he could not hear through his mask. It wouldn’t have bothered me that much except he didn’t sound sincere & didn’t take personal responsibility for it. He just said to ask for a freebie next time, which I am certainly not doing & shouldn’t have to ask for during my next visit. I would recommend customer sensitivity training. This is a higher end restaurant & would expect the staff not to make patrons feel like they did something wrong for something the server wasn’t paying attention to.

Wonderful restaurant. Sat on the patio so the atmosphere was nice. Great waitress. AMAZING food.

Always lovely.

It was so wonderful to have them back in business. The service and food is still top notch and as loyal customers we were so glad they kept the old menu!

Excellent menu, well executed

First time here. Gnocchi was outstanding. Brussel sprouts and venison very good. Sticky toffee was just OK. Service was excellent - friendly but not overbearing and willing to give suggestions which I always appreciate. Wine was excellent too. Would come again

This is truly an exceptional restaurant. Everything we select each and every time we go is spectacular. The rib eye is my favorite in the entire country. The peas, which we ordered for the first time, are now something I crave. Really, you can order anything on the menu and you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go back.

Wonderful to have our favorite restaurant open again. The new eggplant dish was wonderful as well as the old favorites from the wood roasted english peas to the strawberry crostata.

Amazing place. The food is delicious ... you have to try the oxtail dumplings!!!!

Great restaurant. Chef Andrew Kirschner makes a variety of dishes that are not the usual fare but which are done fabulously. Highlights are the octopus appetizer, the Korean beef dish, the eggplant and especially the red snapper served "whole". Wines are a bit on the expensive side. The food is not inexpensive but it's worth it. A wonderful dining experience from a wonderful chef.

Amazing as always-glad you’re back to business! Love the service, attentive as always. Food was just as we remembered and craved. Well don’t

Always have excellent food, cheerful staff and amazing host! Must visit every year

I'm a huge fan of Tar and Roses. I was thrilled to see they were reopening for outside dining and rushed to make a reservation. We were a party of three and everything was great. We went especially for the whole fried snapper. It was as good or better than I remembered it. I will be back very very soon.

Other than waiting in the street until I could be seated it was perfect. I will happy when I can have a drink in the bar while I wait for my table.

Food are delicious, wish the wind was not that big, everything is awesome!

I have loved this restaurant since it opened! It is great to see it back again after the looting and destruction it experienced. The food and service is still superlative. The best meal I’ve had since COVID!

So happy that T & R is open!
Server Brad was energetic and personable. The night started off slow and chilly but once the heater was cranking and the delicious food served, all was forgiven.

The service was stellar, and the food is consistently amazing! I dream of the snapper!

Tar food is always good, service excellent.

Always a great experience coming here. The oxtail dumplings and yellowtail crudo are a must. Finish up dinner with the strawberry ricotta crustada thing. They’ll know what you’re talking bout. Outdoor area is super nice. My favorite place to eat. So glad they reopened!

The food is as spectacular as ever -- every dish just staggeringly delicious. The adaptation of the space for Covid has been seamless from a logistical point of view (it was packed when we went but everyone was still at the appropriate social distance) but in terms of ambience still a work in progress. We were there the night of reopening, so early early days, but for now inside (with the open roof) is vastly preferable, if a little noisier, than the sidewalk. VERY happy to see these folks back, undaunted and clearly with their game very much still on despite the challenges of this moment.

Welcome back T&R!! and what a comeback it is! Not a beat has been missed in providing us again with a stellar dining experience! Magical ambiance on the patio sets the tone for an outstanding evening with knowledgable wait staff and efficient service. Most important every dish hit a high note with flavor profiles that still make my palette dance.
So excited to have you back in the neighborhood - you were sorely missed. Thank you for providing a safe place to relish and enjoy what I think is the best food in the city!! I can't wait to get back!! Wishing you much success!

Such a classy place! My favorite spot to take friends for an always fabulous meal. The presentation is so gorgeous and it tastes even better than it looks. And the service is impeccable.

Honestly, everything about this restaurant is perfect! The service, ambiance, and most importantly, the food. We've been there twice, trying different menu options each time and everything was a home run. Can't wait to go back and try more items!

Always a fantastic meal at T&R. The consistency and creativity of the food coming out of the kitchen never disappoints.

Excellent
My favorite restaurant!

Wonderful evening as always at T and R

Probably one of the best meals I have had in California! I will definitely go back!

Fabulous dining experience. The food is exceptional. Love the seafood pot!!

Service and food were amazing. Even after reading fantastic reviews the visit still managed to exceed our expectations! Every single employee was exceptional.

Incredible establishment! Took my girlfriend there for her birthday and we agreed it was one of the best eating experiences of our lives :) thank you!

Wife’s birthday. Great service and meal. Interesting creative foods. Even the owner came over to introduce himself and ask about us.

My cousin was visiting from out of town

We (two people) ordered the oxtail dumplings, yellowtail crudo, whole branzino, carrots, and the strawberry crostata, and it was a truly pleasant meal! our only regret was not spending the money to get the whole snapper purely for the wow factor...

Great food great service

The food was fantastic with very unique recipes and combinations of flavors. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and service. Everything is delicious.
