BON APPETIT

"A warm, copper-accented decor and a tempting contemporary menu have made Mark Tarbell's eponymous restaurant a welcome addition to the Phoenix dining scene..."

TRAVEL & LEISURE

"Chef and owner

Mark Tarbell...is youthful but poised, hip but laid-back. The food reflects his personality......you walk away with your soul and stomach happily full..."

WINE ENTHUSIAST

"Portobello mushrooms, roast chicken, and designer pizzas are cooked to perfection in the...wood-burning oven."

PHOENIX MAGAZINE

"Pleasant surroundings and service provide a fitting backdrop for Tarbell's collection of inspired fare."

AMERICA WEST

"Tarbell's would thrive in any major metropolis yet it has a distinct warmth and local sensibility."

CITYSEARCH.COM

"This lively American bistro is where the groovy people go.  Mark's place (upscale though it may be) is clean-lined, contemporary, and just plain comfortable."

WINE SPECTATOR

"One of the very best of the new restaurants that lend a distinct cachet to the region is Tarbell's, which for me sums up a good deal of the area's vibrancy, both in its casually chic atmosphere and its smack, on-target food and wine service."
