The restaurant was amazing. The ambiance was perfect for nice date night. The service was amazing. The added features on the 2nd and 3rd floor of games is fun. The food was very good. We started with calamari which was good then I had the steak and my husband had the lobster seafood sausage stew. I think the steak was good but the calamari and the stew were excellent.

It's an upscale dining experience. If I recall correctly the most expensive entree was steak at $50 (when I was there). Dinner for two will run about $100 or more, depending on appetizers, dessert, and beverages from the bar. I mention all this because our dinner out is something of a splurge, but well worth it. I had grilled halibut. It was a lovely piece of well prepared fish. The accompanying puree was good.

Nice venue. Slow to start service picked up and ended pleasant and well. Out of draft local craft beers which was online menu and one of the reasons we chose the restaurant. A special of the day peach , tomato, buratta, and crostini was very good. The salmon on peas and scallops with risotto was good. The tempeh entree and the etouffee were very salty.
The TarratineResponded on October 19, 2024
Hi Tom, I am sorry for the slow start to service and the draft debacle. We have had problems with our draft beer and after a few different technicians we are back online. I hope that you were offered the local craft beers that we have bottled and canned. I will share the comments that you have given about the salty Temeh and Etouffee. I would love to have you visit again, please let me know when you are coming. Take care, Tricia
