I'm yelping out Tarbells a few months late beause I forgot to do it right after my first visit!
Hubby took me for Valentine's Day this year. Great little romantic spot. He tried the spaghetti and meatballs-didn't like it at all. Felt that the sauce was a little bland and watered down. I ordered the filet-which came out perfect and melted in my mouth-so good. The manager came by and asked how our food was-I encouraged hubby to be honest. He was. They apologized profusely. He then ordered the pan roasted chicken-loved it. They also offered to make me a new meal since it was Valentine's Day and "i shouldn't have to eat alone." Hubby didn't mind so I kept eating. Mark Tarbell came by after the chicken came out to make sure it was to hubby's liking. What do you say to the owner/Iron Chef? Hell yeah he liked it!
In the end the wonderful manager at Tarbells comp'd our ENTIRE meal-4 glasses of wine, salads, appetizer and meals! He said he did this since it was Valentines Day and they wanted the night to be perfect for us. You don't come across such great service everyday.
