| - Sweet Pea and I finally got to Tarbell's for dinner the other night. I've lived here my whole life, but have never gotten there for some reason or another, so it was time. What a great all around meal. The food, service, atmosphere, everything was just top-notch. Sweet Pea started out with the field greens, which he liked, but I had the kale salad which was excellent. I'm a kale fan, but I've never really eaten it raw. I'm a convert now, because I loved the salad and ate every bite. We then had the scotch beef (him) and vegetable plate (me) with a side of the chickpeas. The ingredients tasted so fresh, and the olive oil with the bread was really spectacular. I've never tasted olive oil so fruity and delicious, even in Spain. We would normally have enjoyed their extensive wine list, but we were in the mood for cocktails on that particular night, so we ordered mojitos. My were they delightful! Just the right balance of tangy and sweet- we both hate our mojitos too sweet. Finally, we finished off the meal by splitting the strawberry shortcake. Again, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be going back.
