Tarbell's

Went in on a Friday night with a reservation. The place was busy, and service was a bit slow, especially bar service. I didn’t like my first drink, but they were kind enough to make another even though it arrived with the meal. Unfortunately, both entrees were overly salty, like extra salt had been sprinkled on top before serving. Once you got past the top layer of it , it was somewhat edible but something was off with the salt that evening. They did have gluten free crackers and also gluten free pasta was available to sub for pasta dishes. That said, our server was amazing- friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond. He apologized multiple times about the drink b ing so delayed as the bar was back d up, he also removed both entrees from the bill which was totally unexpected and we didn’t ask that be done. They also surprised us with complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a really thoughtful touch. Although the food and bar service missed the mark this time, the exceptional customer service truly stood out. W will definitely give them another try.

We had a great time. Service was fantastic. The wine list is extensive and unexpected with something for everyone. Some notable foods tonight included the mussels, the truffles (cacio e pepe), the Bolognese, and the gluten free, vegan trifle. The kitchen and service staff here understand and respect food sensitivities. Would highly recommend.
