Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark Tarbell

From the OpenTable editors: Legendary PBS television host and James Beard-nominated chef Mark Tarbell opened his namesake restaurant in 1994, and it’s still one of the city’s hottest reservations. Come for classic dishes like Scotch beef and a grass-fed wagyu along with seasonal, seafood-forward mains, all served in a cozy space filled with paintings. A knockout wine list and fancy supplements like lobster and caviar make Tarbell’s the ultimate special occasion destination.

We had another fabulous meat at Tarbell's. The food is creative and delicious. We sat outside with warmers that kept up comfortable but were not too hot. Server was knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. Highly recommend.

A perfectly beautiful culinary Christmas Eve!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The mussels, calamari, scallops, and chicken fennel pasta last night were some of the best dishes I've ever had there. Overall the food was spot on, the staff are all marvelous and the ambiance is always right!

We sat at the beautiful curved bar and were “taken care” of by our bartendress. She guided us through the menu and our meals were a broad selection from the offerings and were OUTSTANDING. Shishito peppers, calamari, hamachi, George’s Bank Scallops and the Risotto and Wagyu Beef tips…a delicious and memorable dining experience! Thank you! Angus

Overall was a nice evening out. The food was great and consisted of grilled scallops, sea bass and some pasta. Nice wine and a great waiter. Our only complaint was it was booked heavy even on a Monday night and we clearly felt rushed at all steps. There was a mob waiting as we left after 90 min. I guess that’s the time you get! No lingering over a meal here.
