    Seafood Risotto
    MiMi K.

    I absolutely love Tark's, the crab dip is my FAV! I tried something different and I was not disappointed! It was full of the most delicious seafood, I did add old bay, that is just preference thing! The portion was more than enough for 2 servings. I did get take out this time but service and atmosphere is always good.

    Ahi Tuna

    Very large upscale restaurant with outdoor seating. My wife said that she's always wanted to try it. We went on a beautiful sunny Monday for an alfresco lunch. Neither she nor I were overly impressed. The food was good, but not excellent. My Hawaiian chicken club sandwich was tasty but very messy and in fact, I ended up eating it on my plate with a knife and fork. The ahi tuna in her order was a tad overdone and she didn't like the dressing that came with it. The server was very attentive and came by several times to ask if we were enjoying the meal. Near the end, however I wish she'd come by with more water. We probably will not return.

    I love love love Tark's. They have what I consider an extensive menu but in all my years going here the consistency is spot on. The duck was perfectly cooked, the carrots were tender and fresh...like straight out of someone's Auntie's garden fresh. The star was the onion puree never did I know how much I needed this in my life. I dragged ever morsel through that it was subtle but so yummy. I added my wine simply because it is the business and should be respected as such. It made my meal so complete as a great glass of wine should

    The focaccia bread was DELICIOUS! Omg, so soft and absolutely perfect.

    After missing the opportunity to go to Tark's for Mother's Day, I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner one recent evening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The weather was pleasant and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tark's flew under my radar for a while, as I knew nothing of its existence! The restaurant is tucked away in the Greenspring Station area. It's located in a huge building that accommodates other businesses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a beautiful courtyard that I wanted to sit in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, it was the last day of Preakness, so it was a packed house and there was no room outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tark's does take walk-ins, but I highly recommend reservations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was seated in the bar area, which has a couple of booths and high top seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is HUGE, okay?! There's two sizable dining room areas, an extended bar area and a courtyard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On this day, the whole restaurant was completely full and buzzing with patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some with coworkers, some on dates and others dining with their families. I took it all in as I perused the menu. I decided that I would go all out and have a full course meal. I started with the blood orange margarita. It was refreshing and DELICIOUS! This cocktail had just the right amount of spice, with a slice of jalapeño and a Tajin rim. If you're a lightweight like me, this little number will have you feeling *very* relaxed. My waiter Justin offered another round and I had to turn it down, lol! For my appetizer, I ordered the lobster nuggets. They came with a sriracha dip and an apricot chutney dip. I requested a lemon pepper aioli dip as well. All sauces were delicious and the nuggets were crispy and well seasoned. A healthy, beautiful loaf of focaccia bread with oil was brought to the table. I thought I wouldn't have been able to eat it all, but I absolutely did! This restaurant bread is probably some of the best I've ever had. Ever! It was soft, the rosemary & Italian herbs stood out and the olive oil bought the flavors all together perfectly. For my main, I chose the orange sesame glazed salmon with coconut rice and spinach with pineapple. SO GOOD! The salmon was super fresh. The coconut rice was dense and perfectly cooked. The spinach the delicately wilted and the pineapple added the perfect island flavor. Highly recommend. I thought I was done, but at the last minute, I decided upon a scoop of Taharka Brother's honey graham ice cream. It was delectable, and an epic end to an already wonderful meal. With tip, I was a penny away from spending $100. And it was well worth it. Atmosphere, food and service were all spectacular. Cannot wait to go back!

    Excellent experience. The seafood risotto was so good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was just right as well as the service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pricing was fair also. Parking lot parking.

    Tuna Poke Bowl
    Alex W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is extremely spacious, and we were seated right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is warm and inviting, though I will say it was a bit chilly inside on a rainy day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and our waitress was attentive throughout the meal. The apple & brie Flatbread was fine, but the real standout was the tuna poke bowl. The tuna was prepared perfectly--especially impressive for a spot that focuses primarily on American cuisine. Overall, a pleasant experience with a surprising highlight.

    The menu.

    Are you familiar with Green Spring Station? Neither was I prior to coming to Tark's. It's a cute 'town center' of sorts with restaurants and boutique shops. Tark's is located on the inside of the station in something like a courtyard. I came at night to meet with family for my partner's daughter's 18th birthday. I couldn't see the sign from the outside, but once I parked I understood it was within the confines of the building. When I arrived most of our party had already been seated. There was about 10 in our party. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was nice, although I'd really like to come back when it's warm to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the scallops that came with butternut squash risotto, roasted wild mushrooms, pomegranate beurre blanc, and toasted pumpkin seeds. I love scallops, mushrooms AND risotto so this was tasty! The risotto was rich, which was a nice complement to the scallops. I ate it ALL. My partner had the steak with asparagus. She gave me a taste and it was perfectly tender & flavorful. The asparagus was crisp, but cooked. Good food all around. Everybody seemed to enjoy their meal. I'll be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the vibe of the whole place and would like to see it during the daytime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very accommodating. It's sometimes hard to appease the combination of adults, children & teenagers, but she was on point!

    What a like find. So many things on the menu we wanted to try. Everything we had tasted amazing. I loved the Shortrib poutine and lobsters nuggets. We shared the crab bucatini and it was delicious. Fresh bread to start was warm and flavorful. Will return

    This is my second time at Tark's Grill and was even seated at the same table. We were here for a birthday celebration. I ordered the lobster roll. I liked the aioli sauce was on the side. I also ordered coffee with the dessert. The coffee was good and went well with the cake that we brought. It wasn't as crowded as it was for dinner but I liked that they have outdoor seating with the patio umbrellas so it doesn't get too hot. Our waitress, Doha was attentive and nice. She took our orders quickly and our meal was served fairly quickly too.

    Peach and prosciutto flatbread
    Sarah H.

    This gorgeous restaurant and patio is one of the best date night/special occasion/outdoor dining spots in the area! After moving to the area 2 years ago, I was a bit leery due to some low reviews but was finally convinced to give it a try and I'm kicking myself for not coming WAY sooner! The menu is extensive and had sooo many delicious looking options, it was hard to choose. While the prices may be a little on the higher side (and they don't have happy hour options), it was a great date night spot that I can't wait to come back for. Pro-tip: make a reservation! The place gets packed, even on a random Wednesday evening. Especially when the weather is gorgeous, be sure to snag a patio reservation! Absolutely loved the fried green tomato and crab appetizer. We also tried the peach and prosciutto flatbread and the BBQ short rib. Everything was great! I even eyed some food at tables nearby, and literally everything came out piping hot and looking delicious. 100% cannot wait to come back for that patio-seating and to try more of the menu!

    First, this place is super cute and highly recommended for date night. No reservations were made prior but the hostess was accommodating and seated us at the bar (our preference) the bartenders were attentive and service was done with a smile. They gave good recommendations on food selections and the wait time for the food was a little under 20 minutes. Drinks: My cousin and I both selected the Pomegranate Gin Cocktail: Bombay Sapphire, Lemon, POM Juice, Rosemary Syrup (menu description) This drink was simply refreshing and the balance of POM juice and Bombay was perfect! I must say that while sipping on this drink, I somehow felt like I was at a beautiful beach villa watching a bonfire while sipping on my cocktail, it truly made me feel relaxed with each sip. I rate this a perfect 10 icy cocktail glasses! Food: Me: Blackened Salmon B.A.L.T: pan seared salmon, roasted garlic aioli, bacon, avocado, lettuce,tomato, potato toast, hand-cut fries (menu description) I decided to get the sweet potato fries which were freshly prepared, crunchy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. They were simply delish! Blackened Salmon B.A.L.T., So I have mixed feelings about this sandwich because I love salmon and bacon and having both paired on potato bread was the right move because it made for a great B.A.L.T. What I didn't really enjoy was the flavor of the salmon because while it was prepared perfectly, it lacked flavors needed to whisk it away. I actually had to drown it in the extra roasted garlic aioli sauce because that added the perfect flavor. But stand alone, I don't think that the salmon would have passed my taste test and I therefore have to give this a 7 golden forks out of 10. My cousin: Maryland Crab Soup: jumbo lump, bacon, veggies (GF)-Menu description My cousin LOVED her soup and said that she would rate it a good 7 golden spoons out of 10. Chicken Wings: lemon pepper parmesan (menu description) Mixed feelings here as my cousin ordered it fried hard and some were dried out and inedible-wasn't the best at all. Would I visit again? Probably after thoroughly reviewing the menu and Yelp reviews. But I do recommend this place for a cute date and to grab a few drinks!

    I recently dined here with friends and we had a wonderful experience. There are so many good looking options on the menu we will certainly be coming back. Our waitress was great! Very nice and patient with us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is I'd say upscale casual, a nice place to have dinner with family, friends or go on a nice date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a patio are that had heated lamps so in the late fall may be nice to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious! We ordered the rockfish and seafood risotto.

    Does Tark's have specials for Happy Hour. If so, when? Thank you!

    Hi yes they do. I am not sure the exact times but I'm sure if you called they could let you know. Enjoy

    Do I need a reservation for Sunday lunch/brunch?

    I would suggest it

That is a very nice seating option; however, there was a private event occurring so I couldnt be seated at such. They also have a front patio seating option as well. I opted to be seated at the bar for this visit as well. The bartender was not as pleasant as my entrance experience and previous visit; however he was attentive. We ordered drinks and then proceeded witj our food ordering once we received our drinks. We ordered Expresso Martini and Reposado Old Fashioned. The drinks are amazing and 5*. We ordered our food Oversized burger and Pan Seared scallops over brussel sprouts. Our food came out hot and within reasonable time. The burger is NOT an oversized burger. Regular sized and the descriptive name is deceiving. The burger option was not anything to speak on as it was not to satisfaction but quelled the hunger moment. It was over cooked. The pan seared scallops came out with a strong "fishy" smell. They however were tasty and spicy. This was a small plate as it was only 3 scallops in total. Other then the strong "fishy"smell, they were tasty. We then ordered a limoncello and was of course satisfied as it was another great tasting drink. This establishment does not have a nice and variety food menu but you will never be disappointed with the drinks.
