Awesome service and great food. The waiter was awesome and attended to all of our needs. A bit pricey but the food was great.

This incredible restaurant and bar is beyond reproach. Excellent service, attention to detail, care and consideration in regards to quality and EXTREME friendliness make this a neighborhood gem. Take the time to visit this bar/restaurant. While the menu is limited, the offering are top notch and executed with love and care. We are now lifelong fans. If you're looking for a snobby, ostentatious place, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for high quality cocktails without the ridiculous attitudes, this is your place. You can tell the employees love their jobs and take pride in their work. It is worth the visit. read more

This place was a gem I was actually quite impressed. Our server accommodated 10 people and divided all our checks. He was appreciative of this and even recommend some of the dishes. We had the seafood tartar, the tomato and mozzarella, and their shrimp appetizer. I had sparkling water while people drank tons of wine. I myself enjoyed my chicken with some mash potatoes. The size was the right size. They are known for their pastas and side dishes. I even ordered the spinach side dish it was to die for. If I am back in town I would definitely come here again. read more

Great Service from the waitress 10/10. Food was good 8/10. They let you substitute certain items, and you can order some items as half orders which is a plus. Being able to wine taste the wine before making a selection is plus. Also being able to select a bottle of wine from the wine store next door was a plus and then take it back to your table to drink. I usually check out the yelp pics to check out the food before ordering but half the items were currently not available like the shrimp pasta, deviled eggs, and soup during my visit. Prices not too bad, but dont expect big portions of food. They have valet parking cause you wont be able to find a spot in the lot if all the restaurants in the plaza are packed. read more

love tarbells and all the stuff. great pricing and quality. I recommend to everyone I know

One of the best restaurants in town. The service and the food is always amazing. Don't miss the opportunity to stop in if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed read more

Shanti was absolutely the best bartender and waiter I have ever been served by. Exemplary service and timely. This place is somewhere I would go on a daily basis. In the heart of Arcadia and the best vibes. Strongly recommend, ask for Shanti!! read more

Decided to try this spot for dinner because I received a Tarbells gift card. The food was ok but service was below average. Server was nice but would go missing for 20 mins at a time. Took 45 mins TJ get our check after we were done eating. When we went to pay they said we couldn't use our gift card to Tarbells - same owner of both spots and they are Nextdoor to each other. But since they have different "LLC"s you can't use the gift card. Wow- we won't be returning. Terrible Customer service. read more

Very solid food and drink selection! One of our favorite spots! Always looking forward to going back when we can!

We were visiting from LA, got into town late, and were looking for comfort food that was vegetarian. The Tavern hit the spot! While it has many meat options, there was plenty for us to order including a gorgeous Fall Harvest chopped salad, tempura avocado tacos, and mushroom asparagus pizza. Delicious!!! And, it's attached to an upscale wine store that allowed us to purchase a bottle of wine and drink it at our table with no corkage fee. Perfect meal upon arrival into Scottsdale! read more

The other night, before going to a show in downtown Phoenix, we had dinner at (Tarbell's) The Tavern on Camelback Road. We were referred there by a local ... and it turned out to be a marvelous experience. This place offers a casual, upscale atmosphere with both bar and table seating. The wine store next-door was totally visible via a low wall opening on one side of the establishment. We started with wine, snacking on deviled eggs with a whipped Dijon aioli mousse. We share everything (except our wine). Next we sampled Tuna tartare with a miso aioli, house-made ponzu along with soy beans and carrots. After ordering another glass of wine, we each consumed a bowel of wild mushroom soup. Rich and complex .... I could have made a meal of this treat. Finally we had the shellfish paella. It consisted on chorizo, saffron, a variety of fresh seafood including clams, mussels and shrimp. The grilled bread that came with it was a perfect compliment. The wait-staff was knowledgeable and professional. Our server was the best. While not the least expensive, prices were competitive for what you get. read more

Quick and tasty drinks before Tarbell's opened and pleasantly surprised at the cocktail menu! They do not serve hard alcohol so I always admire the craftiness and originality restaurants come up with. My husband drank a green flash IPA and I ordered the sake champagne mojito. Fresh and tasty! We sat next to the window and enjoyed the rain fall and parents night out. Our server was attentive and made our transition to dinner awesome! read more

The Tavern - is special! I agree with another reviewer when they said the atmosphere is preferred over the next door Tarbell's. Tonight was an impromptu, first time visit to the Tavern. I enjoyed their Bourbon and Rye list and had two 1 oz pours neat. My husband had the lemon drop cocktail to start and a glass of Picpoul (a Cali. White). I asked about the scallop crudo but ended up getting an avocado and a barbacoa taco. Each was terrific. We were surprised with a complementary scallop crudo which was so delicate and lovely! My husband got the Scottish Salmon which was- Thanksgiving dinner and went well with his wine. It was all done with intention to elevate the experience over profit and execution to improve flavor Wonderful dinner! read more

Incredible from start to finish! We've been there twice now and both times were perfect. Everything we've ordered has been a hit.

Last night was honestly the best dinner I've had!! Came here for my birthday n my husbands birthday w some close friends. My husband heard really great things about this chef and despite living in AZ for over 10 yes we never tried this place. Well I am so happy we did!! We started off w three bottles of wine. And got the calamari, escargot, octopus, Mac n cheese, n mussels as an appetizer. The calamari was lightly breaded w a great crunch and it came w two dipping sauces. My husband has never tried escargot and despite being a little weary to try it, he loved it! The octopus was giant and absolutely delicious n cooked to perfection! Needless to say, everything was heaven in my mouth. I got the basil gnocchi topped with lump crab and my husband got the steak topped with crab as well. He thought the steak was phenomenal better than any of the ultra high end steak places we been to and the crab was a good portion and so delicious!! My basil gnocchi was amazing! The buttery soft and chewy texture mixed w the crab was to die for! I'm so glad I took some left overs w me!! Also my gf ordered the side of cauliflower and it was seriously the best! Highly recommend this place for people who love great food and amazing selection of wine! I'm 10 pounds heavier from basically trying almost everything on their menu but the happiest!!! read more

Tarbell's restaurant is a Phoenix gem with innovative food from chef/owner Mark Tarbell. Part of the menu changes with the seasons and other items remain as on going favorites. Service was spot on by our server Allan and his assistants that helped clean up. Soup of the day was Butternut Squash. Rich, buttery and silky. A half bowl was sufficient. The Seasonal Chowda entree is chock full of salmon, swordfish, mussels, charred tomatoes, haricot and leeks. A beautiful rendition of Fisherman's Stew. The Center-Cut Tenderloin Filet with Lump Jonah Crab. Haricot, buttermilk mashed, with velvet dime-glace. The crab was served hot and on the side as requested to be shared. The deme-glace was rich and tasty as the perfect complement for the steak. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Our waitress was well extremely helpful in recommending the scallops - some of the best I've ever had. The fire pit outdoor dining was awesome! Will absolutely be coming back! read more

Great wines and great comfort food. Shared the crispy fries and they were crispy and delicious. Had the white cheddar grilled cheese with tomato bisque and it was excellent. Cheesy goodness and the bisque was perfect; slightly tangy yet creamy. Shared a bottle of Mendel Malbec from their wine store. Only $30 and excellent. The outside patio is small but very pleasant despite they don't seem to have heaters. read more

Loved picking out our wine before the meal. Amazing mushroom Wellington and salmon entree was perfectly cooked.

We do love this place, it's one of our favorites for a yummy burger. But they have to stop cooking smelly fish in the bar area. Maybe just take fish off the menu. It's really unpleasant to be eating with a constant waft of this smell, we couldn't enjoy our food and wine and now our clothes stink. This is gem of a place but we're going to have to place a to go order or eat on the patio if they don't change. Headed to an event now, please excuse our stank. read more

Tarbell's Tavern serves pretty much the best tavern food ever along with a great wine selection and extremely reasonably priced craft and import beers. Some of their dishes are the best in town- don't miss the amazing BLT, lobster roll and banana cream pie. You cannot go wrong! read more

We came in on a night when Tarbell's was super busy. The tavern set up a table for us in the wine room so we didn't have to wait. That was awesome. The food was delicious and we picked out a bottle of wine and they opened it for us. It was a very chill atmosphere and great service too. They have a great charcuterie board. They even made us a cocktail from Tarbell's! read more

This review is for the airport location for the Tavern in terminal three. Delicious wine, great food, more importantly, the service was phenomenal. A server named Jennifer is delivering the goods to a packed house. She is so busy, has a smile on her face, is knowledgeable about both the food and the wines, and is literally holding it all together with every table filled. I have never reviewed an airport restaurant, but I had to tonight. What is usually a pretty dreary experience waiting for our flight was truly enjoyable. read more

First Watch was backed up on orders, so we walked over to Tarbell's for lunch. I had the Maine Lobster Roll (incredible parts of the claw meat) but the roll itself was hard or stale. My friend had the salmon patty burger and it was too large to finish off, so he left a lot of the bun but said it was great. We will try the main restaurant for dinner and the Tavern again for brunch! read more

The food is sooo good! Second time here and simply great quality food and super tasteful. We started with the scallop ceviche and the wedged salad. Hubs got the lamb burger and steak FF and I had carrot soup and a crispy avocado taco. Everything plated was delicious. I would have the soup everyday, it was perfect. Do yourself a solid and finish with the homemade coconut cream pie. Oh my! There will be lots of cravings due to this meal experience. read more

My husband and I came here for a glass of wine before dinner at the nearby Tarbell's on Valentine's Day this year. There were a lot of customers when we came, but we were able to slip into two spots at the bar. It looked like half the people were getting food and half the people, like us, were there for a glass of wine. There were actually some reasonably-priced wine options, although of course they also had the several-hundred-a-bottle choices for you high-rollers out there. Our favorite wine bar is Vino Loco, in Flagstaff, but we've been looking for a Phoenix equivalent. Now all we have to do is see if they'll put up with a couple of people playing some board games while sampling their wine... next time. :) read more

Amazing experience - very cool idea where the wine store is connected to the tavern - makes it feel very BYOB with high quality, well priced wines to choose from. We were fortunate to get Beth as our server who was truly amazing. She made us feel so comfortable, was incredibly attentive and had amazing recommendations. The wine she recommended (which I would've never picked out on my own) was truly superb and aligned with the price range we were aiming for. We're very much looking forward to returning. read more

The ambiance was great and as fans of Tarbell's it is nice to have great food but in a more casual environment. Plus owner Mark Tarbell came by our table to welcome and thanked us for coming in and as the night progressed I saw him do that with each table. That was a really nice touch and I haven't experienced that type of service with any other restaurant in town. We tried 3 of the 4 bikinis on the menu and they were all delicious, made with some of the best tasting bread I have had in awhile. Plus the portions are perfect to start and cut to sharable sizes, that is if you don't eat it all first. I ordered the chicken street tacos for dinner. You get 3 large tacos, which I really enjoyed but it was almost to much food for me, enjoyed the salsa verde the comes on the side. We shared the coconut cream pie for dessert and let me tell you that it was the most amazing dessert I have ever had. I definitely recommend ordering it, even if you don't think you could possibly eat anymore once you taste it you'll be licking the plate clean. They are only open for dinner which is a shame because there are so many items on the menu that would be a great lunch. Definitely plan on going back to try the burger. read more

This is one of those reviews that kills me to not give them five stars as the food was amazing. I can't believe my wife and I had never been there before but we decided to take our daughter and soon to be son-in-law there for dinner. We had an 8 o'clock dinner reservation and when we walked in five minutes early, they explained that our table wasn't ready because a table was staying longer than normal. We were fortunate to find two empty seats at the bar so we sat the ladies down and had a glass of their Zinfandel. It was a great glass of wine at $10 a glass. I thought we were getting off to a great start despite our table not being ready. About 20 minutes later, we were sat at our table. The place was packed with a lot of energy. We were greeted by our server and ordered the deviled eggs. They were very good. I ordered the shrimp with linguine. OMG...this is a must try if you love shrimp and pasta as much as I do. Everyone else at our table ordered the salmon with curried mash potatoes. They loved it! Here is where things went a little sideways. Our server, who was very nice, seemed to disappear. We wanted another glass of wine and she was nowhere to be seen. I sensed that everyone was focused on cleaning and resetting as it was getting late. I waited and waited and then finally had to ask a busboy to get our server. She finally came by and we ordered another glass but it left a sour taste with us because things had been so good all night. Nothing worse than feeling neglected during a dinner out. This is where the four star review comes from. It really was a five star dinner but the bait and run from the server dinged my review. Here is the good news: we will be back! We loved the place and the food. We just won't have a late reservation and might even eat at the bar. You must try this place! read more

We were celebrating our anniversary. We got there and there were rose petals on the table. The host came with Prosecco in the house. He explained the menu.

Then he came with a caramel cheesecake. The presentation of the meals was very nice and everything tasted wonderful!!!! read more

We are frequent guests of Tarbells Tavern. I made a reservation several weeks ago for this weekend because we had a guest in town. I called the day of our reservation to confirm time and the request of a high top table in the bar area. We arrived at our reservation promptly and we were told they gave our table to another party. I asked for a solution and they said we could have a drink and wait....so we found a place to sit. A young gentleman came up to us to ask if we needed anything and this is where the "manager" Ilissa stepped in. She said, quote "I will handle this. He is new and knows nothing" right in front of the employee. What kind of manager would say that to an employee in front of guests. She then proceeded to tell me that I hurt the hostess' feelings because I asked for a solution. Ilisa was rude, incompetent and didn't provide any solutions. Why do we as guests make reservations, follow up and are still not guaranteed a table. Not good management. We will not be back!! read more

The Tavern is now OPEN FOR LUNCH during the week!!! Opening day was today! There were 4 of us and we enjoyed a delicious lunch of Warm spinach/Parmesan dip, bruschetta, a ridiculously huge BLT stuffed with a ton of crispy bacon, an equally huge classic American burger, sloppy joe's (YUM!), and chicken tacos! Washed it all down with one of their delightfully tart blackberry mint lemonades (there are 4 different lemonade flavors--will need to try them all!) Finished lunch with a beautiful apple pie. We will be back! read more
