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.

    Dover Sole was very disappointing. $85 dollars for overcooked fish! Green sauce used on Calamari did not go with Dover. My wife’s Chicken was very good as usual. Waiter was very good but Mark needs to get reengaged in the kitchen.

    Hello Shawn! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I am so sorry to see that you did not enjoy your Dover Sole. I went ahead and refunded that dish for you. Please always know that if you are not 100% satisfied with your food that you can let your server know. They would be more than happy to find you something else to enjoy. I was happy to see that your wife enjoyed her chicken, and the service was good. Again, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. It is when our guests do this that we are able to learn and grow as a team. We look forward to welcoming you back in soon. Have a beautiful day!

    Been to Tarbell's over a dozen times and have always enjoyed it. However, last night was a miss. First, the table they sat us at was awful. It was a 4 top against the far east wall. They have too many tables against that wall and it's too crowded. When you try to slide in you take off half the tablecloth on your table and the people next you. The servers even have a hard time reaching you since they can't get in between the tables. Or they simply hit you and feel like they're on top of you. They need to remove one of those tables to make it more comfortable for both the diners and the staff. The worst thing was my entree. I ordered the wagyu filet tips. It had about a pound of salt on it. Horrible. My husband's regular filet was better, but his fries were extremely salty as well. The chef had a heavy hand with the salt last night. The server did comp my entree and have us a complimentary cheesecake. He was very nice and apologetic. Would have liked the manager to come out and speak to us, but, that didn't happen. This one bad experience won't stop us from going back as we've always loved this restaurant. Hopefully, this was just a one off bad experience.

    Hello Andrew! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I was so sorry to see that your Wagyu beed tips and fries were too salty! I am so sorry that you were not able to enjoy your food. I'm glad your server took care of those for you, and I hope you were able to still enjoy the remainder of your time with us. I have shared this feedback with our head chef and director of service. They will look into what happened with the salt that night, and how we can better arrange our tables. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It is when our guests choose to communicate their experiences with us that we are able to learn and grow. We look forward to welcoming you back in soon! Have a great day!

    The reservation was booked as a "Special Occasion". It was acknowledged by the server when we sat down. Then nothing else occurred. The previous year the desert was a nice production of appearance for the birthday. All else was perfect, failed on this one issue.

    I had the wagyu filet dish. It was good, just not great. The gravy lacked something. The vegetables in the dish were under cooked. My wife’s salmon was prepared perfectly. We will be back but I’ll order something else. Service was outstanding.

    Tarbell’s has sadly lost its glow. Once THE place to eat has become average and quiet. Food was good, but minuscule for the money.
