Chef Mark Tarbell immediately elevated fine dining in Phoenix when he opened his "Neighborhood Restaurant for the Nation", Tarbell's. Chef Mark firmly believes that the Tarbell's staff are the stars. Hundreds of accolades later, the Tarbell's team continues to serve relevant, curated, Farm to Table, inspirational dishes and classic comfort food in the elegant, art-filled space. Chef brings his passion, curiosity and deep knowledge to the menu and award winning wine list. His mission - you'll feel warm, welcomed, your soul nourished and a night to remember.

Mark has won five Emmy Award’s as the host of AZ PBS’s “Plate and Pour” and “Check, Please! Arizona” and is a two time inductee into The Arizona Hall of Culinary Fame as Outstanding Chef and Media Master. Mark's adventures include Tarbell’s Restaurant, Wine Bar (Tavern), The Wine Store, Tarbell’s Catering, Tarbell’s The Goods at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Terminal 4, The Tavern at Terminal 3 and The Bond- Cultivate and The Vault.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Mark Tarbell

From the OpenTable editors: Legendary PBS television host and James Beard-nominated chef Mark Tarbell opened his namesake restaurant in 1994, and it’s still one of the city’s hottest reservations. Come for classic dishes like Scotch beef and a grass-fed wagyu along with seasonal, seafood-forward mains, all served in a cozy space filled with paintings. A knockout wine list and fancy supplements like lobster and caviar make Tarbell’s the ultimate special occasion destination.

    So loving the no seed oil policy at Tarbell. Food is very good but if I wanted to be picky… a little too much dressing on the Caesar salad, the sauce on chicken a tad salty, the cheesecake? Saucy and too sweet. Food is very tasty, well executed but just a bit too much where not needed

    Hello Peter! Thank you so much for taking the time leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I am so sorry that your food was a little too saucey, sweet and salty. I have shared this feedback with Chef so he can make sure the team isn't so heavy handed with the salt and sauce. Please know that if you are not 100% satisfied with your meal you can always let your server know. They can have it remade or they can help find you something else to enjoy. Our number one goal is to make every guest experience amazing from start to finish and I am sorry we missed that mark with you. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review as this allows us to learn and grow as a team. We look forward to welcoming you back in soon!

    We had dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy with a good energy. Our server greeted us right away. We ordered drinks which arrived promptly, as well as beef carpaccio as our apps, both outstanding. I had the special sea-bass entree it was excellent. Other items ordered were the giant meatball, pan seared chicken and salmon all great. You can’t go wrong at Tarbells!!

    We went to Tarbell to celebrate our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The experience was amazing. It was the best meal we have had in years. We had the fish of the day and it was wonderful. The profiteroles were delicious.

    Just me and my gf. We were seated in the worst possible table next to a 15 top and a family. My gf was closer to the family than me. People walking past us constantly. I feel like if you look like you aren’t spending $1000 they aren’t going to treat you very well. Or if you look like Not-a-lawyer. I tipped very well. The food didn’t take long. Food was very good. OpenTable has no idea what the food costs. An app is $40. The typical meals are $60-$80. There is a steak for $300 and a bottle of wine for $14,000. Don’t expect to spend less than $300 for a VERY modest meal for 2. Ive been discriminated against for being poor my entire life but Im not. I make good money. We showed up in suit and tie and her in a dress. I even tipped 30%. This was kinda weird. I don’t think id go back. I feel like they would tell me to try CrackerBarrel if i asked for a better table.

    Went for Girlfriends Birthday, Dropped off flowers before dinner and staff was amazing, They kept flowers refrigerated and had them on our table when we arrived. Filet Mignon was perfect. They brought her dessert with a candle after dinner without me asking. Great experience!!!

    First of all, I did not like paying $28 for a so-so Chardonnay second of all the barmaid was either inept or overworked. I’m not sure I sat at the bar and when I went to order, she highly recommended the lobster risotto just raved about it so I said OK. It was average at best hardly any lobster. I also asked for bread service. She brought it after I had eaten my meal well I was 90% done then I ask about chocolate desserts and she said the mousse is to die for I said well what else do you have and she said profiteroles so I said excellent do the profiteroles you guessed it she brought me the mousse I don’t like mousse. It was easily 15 minutes until she brought me the profiterole so not really impressed.
    Tarbell'sResponded on March 17, 2025
    Hello Susan! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your recent dining experience at Tarbell's. I am so sorry that you didn't enjoy the risotto or either of the glasses of wine. I shared this feedback with our head chef as we want to make sure that each guest does receive a good amount of lobster in their risotto. Please always know that if you are not satisfied with your food you can communicate that with your server. They would be more than happy to find you something else to enjoy. As for the service, I have our general manager looking into this further & connecting with the bar tender to make sure she feels supported in her role to serve our guests. Again, thank you for leaving us a review. It is when our guests do this that we are able to learn & grow.
