Chef Mark Tarbell immediately elevated fine dining in Phoenix when he opened his "Neighborhood Restaurant for the Nation", Tarbell's. Chef Mark firmly believes that the Tarbell's staff are the stars. Hundreds of accolades later, the Tarbell's team continues to serve relevant, curated, Farm to Table, inspirational dishes and classic comfort food in the elegant, art-filled space. Chef brings his passion, curiosity and deep knowledge to the menu and award winning wine list. His mission - you'll feel warm, welcomed, your soul nourished and a night to remember.

Mark has won five Emmy Award’s as the host of AZ PBS’s “Plate and Pour” and “Check, Please! Arizona” and is a two time inductee into The Arizona Hall of Culinary Fame as Outstanding Chef and Media Master. Mark's adventures include Tarbell’s Restaurant, Wine Bar (Tavern), The Wine Store, Tarbell’s Catering, Tarbell’s The Goods at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Terminal 4, The Tavern at Terminal 3 and The Bond- Cultivate and The Vault.

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.

    Always consistently fantastic. The food and service are some of the best in the valley. I recommend the chicken or ribbon pasta. These are classic Tarbell’s dishes. Enjoy

    This was my first time dining at Tarbell’s and I have to say it was the best experience. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, bubbly. They knew the menu, including the bartenders. Best part as I was leaving, I’m given a little wrapped brownie a tiny present. Thanks for the great hospitality ❤️😊 I’ll be returning.

    Tarbells may be the best restaurant not just in Arizona but the entire southwest. It should be studied as what an upscale neighborhood service can provide in food, people, experience with no putting on airs.

    With several fine restaurants in the Valley, Tarbell's is at the top of our list. Dinner with our old neighbors from Michigan. The food was outstanding; the staff was polite and attentive to our needs and did not rush us through our meal and conversation. Topping off the evening was Chef Mark stopping by all the tables reinforcing the class of this long time Phoenix establishment.
