Diners visit this cozy eatery as much to catch a glimpse of personable chef Mark Tarbell as to enjoy his award-winning contemporary American creations. Relying on lots of fresh, organic products, Tarbell presents some exciting fare (grilled portobello with seasonal accompaniments), some interesting takes on classics (steamed artichoke with griddled cornbread), and well-crafted comfort food (spaghetti and meatballs with organic tomatoes, pepper steak with pommes frites). The bar is a great place to hang with the beautiful people.

  • 2008 | Best Place to Meet an Iron Chef

    Loyal fans of Iron Chef America can call us out on this one: Technically, chef Mark Tarbell isn't an Iron Chef. That title is reserved for the handful of regulars who do battle against a constant onslaught of culinary challengers on the popular... More >

  • 2007 | BEST PLACE TO BELLY UP TO THE BAR

    There are plenty of fine tables around the dining room at Tarbell's, but we come here just for the fun of eating rock shrimp ceviche or Scotch beef sliders at the bar. It's a long, lovely swoop of glossy blond wood, the perfect vantage point for... More >

  • 2004 | BEST PLACE TO DINE SOLO

    Dining at a restaurant table by yourself is a foolish exercise; eating at the bar is cool, and nowhere is it cooler than at Tarbell's. With a long, graceful curve, the bar is staffed by a friendly crew that appear to have no life of their own.... More >

  • 2001 | Best Spaghetti And Meatballs

    We never thought we'd pay $19 for a plate of old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs and be happy about it. But that's before we discovered the soul-satisfying dish at Tarbell's. This is a full-flavored feast, starring a vibrant marinara made with... More >

Phoenix New Times Reviews and News

  • Second Helpings

    By Howard Seftel | Thu, August 29, 1996

    Return of the Native: About a year ago I wrote a less-than-glowing review of Tarbell's Restaurant, a glitzy, trendy, pricey bistro that boastfully styled itself a "great American restaurant" the moment it opened. I saw potential, but, at the time,... More >

    Loyal fans of Iron Chef America can call us out on this one: Technically, chef Mark Tarbell isn't an Iron Chef. That title is reserved for the handful of regulars who do battle against a constant onslaught of culinary challengers on the popular Food Network show. Only a year ago, Tarbell himself made an appearance, going up against Iron Chef Cat Cora in a high-stakes cook-off where the key ingredient was apples. And guess what? He won. Since the show's airing, Tarbell hasn't ditched Phoenix to gallivant around the country and leave his kitchen in other hands. He's stayed put at his restaurant — right where he's always been, and right where regulars expect him to be. You see, Tarbell's way too sociable to step out of the limelight at his namesake restaurant, where locals flock to dine on upscale comfort food like double-cut pork chops with white cheddar polenta cakes, pan-roasted organic chicken with buttermilk mashed potatoes, and Mark's Famous Spaghetti & Meatballs. The fact that Tarbell is Phoenix's own Iron Chef makes the dining experience that much tastier.
