text: I had really high expectations for Tarbells We would heard and read really good things We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full nnThe positivesthe staff was really exceptional They were super friendly and attentive I also loved the roasted deep fried chick peas that were on the table as a starter They were super delicious Also our main proteins husband had steak I had the scallops were cooked technically well and the presentation was very nice My scallop plate was probably the prettiest plate of food I have been served nnHowever the flavors were just not that great My entree lacked saltsavory flavors and the root vegetables on my plate were not cooked long enough so they were quite tough My husband said his steak was cooked a perfect medium rare but the flavor just was not special or memorable He ordered a side of brussels sprouts which was actually his favorite part of the dinner Overall the food was just OK I had expected the food to be stars but in reality I have eaten at many many better restaurants Nothing about Tarbells was memorable The decor and the vibe was not cool or unique The majority of the patrons were elderly We definitely would not go back therennPS I ate at Tarbells Tavern next door more of a bar menu a couple weeks ago and I liked their food and atmosphere better than Tarbells
