My husband and I had breakfast at Tarrant’s on Sunday morning. We were happy with our meals and our server, Michael was full of energy. He was attentive and did a great job. The picture is a pre-meal snack that Michael brought us. They were delicious!!

Great holiday atmosphere! Our waiter was pleasant and gave great menu suggestions. We enjoyed the holiday food and drink specials. We have been to Tarrants Cafe many times but really enjoyed visiting during this season.

I visited last night while they had their holiday pop up theme. There was a separate food and drink menu for the occasion. Lots of pretty decor throughout. I had never been to Tarrant's. It was a nice vibe, a little loud inside but it seemed quite busy. We had a reservation at 1930. The drinks were fabulous. I had the Nick's nightcap and Holiday Bubbles. Very tasty. We also had the Grazing Board which had an enjoyable cheeseball. The seafood combo was decent. The seafood itself was rather bland, the sides were seasoned well. The cheesecake was also lackluster- presentation was great but the flavor was meh. I feel that maybe I should return to try some of their other dishes. I would certainly return for the bar / drinks.

Decorated super cute for the holidays! This was our last stop of 3 places for holiday cocktails and bites….and everyone’s favorite. They have just enough decor that to classify as a pop up. Very warm and festive atmosphere. We had the Christmas bubbles…very good in a really pretty glass..the Santa’s flight which was 3 types of espresso martinis and only $15 (a bargain!)….and the Rosemary and Bright which I’d describe as a Christmas cosmo. The bubbles and the cosmo were amazing! The peppermint Martini was undrinkable but the caramel and the peanut butter were quite good. We also had some mahi tacos and sweet potato fries. The food was great. Service was on time, helpful, and friendly.

I had lunch here today prior to seeing a show at the theatre across the street, and this place was delicious! The hand made cheesesticks were some of the best I have ever had, and the marinara sauce was definitely homemade and packed with flavor! My sledgehammer burger was cooked perfectly and full of flavor! The bun was soft and made it easy to devour. My friend's pizza was really good also. The service was great, and the atmosphere was appealing. What a great spot!
