Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tarrant's Downtown offers a cozy atmosphere with a "warm and inviting" ambiance. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, including "phenomenal" she-crab soup and fried green tomatoes. Service can be hit or miss, but standout servers like Blake and Josh elevate the dining experience. Despite occasional service delays, Tarrant's remains a "local legend" in Richmond with its comfort food and eclectic decor. Highly recommended for its "excellent" cocktails and central location, perfect for pre-theater dining.

    The corn beef on my reuben sandwich was so tough and chewy it almost choked me. I could not even eat it. We waited too long for our bill and the waiter checked all the "GOOD" buttons before I had a chance to reply. I'll never go back

    We come regularly to have dinner prior to the Altria shows - we love it - food is always good - we brought friends with us this time and did not have our dinner until 7 which meant we had to box and take with us to make show on time - we arrived at 5:30 - our server was kind - food was good - however the time it took to get our food was not acceptable and made a bad impression on our friends

    Food was really good. Tasty. Nice menu selection. But the service was lousy. Took forever to place our order or get drinks refilled and the dinner was brought out with no silverware so we had to wait to eat once it came.

    Although we made reservations, we had to wait 20 minutes for our table. It was a very busy Valentine evening. However, Terrant's downtown is always a great place for a nice meal. The atmosphere is great, and the food and service were excellent. A nice little perk is that if you show them your parking receipt, they will deduct it from your check. This is definitely a great place for lunch or dinner.

    Wide variety of menu choices. Fish tacos are my personal favorite but the shecrab soup and pasta are excellent choices as well. And the house garlic bread is to die for.
