   I haven’t been in years and I’m so happy to find that this is still a fabulous restaurant! We enjoyed every dish and the service from start to finish was fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

   Share plate style place the ox tail dumplings were fantastic, the yellowtail crudo was also very good. But the main entrée which we had was cod and risotto was disappointing the fish was mushy, and I would describe their risotto more like a congee than anything. I also find it annoying that they want your full order all at once especially for shared plates since you’d want to be able to order more if it was not enough, but also not over order.

   Hi Braedon, Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so sorry that the Black Cod dish did not meet your expectations. Additionally, I am so sorry that you felt required to order everything at once, it is meant to be merely a suggestion, as we have world inspired cuisine and the servers can best pair flavors for you that way. Should you choose to dine with us again please let me know so that I can help to ensure a seamless, more enjoyable experience. Cheers! Carly

   Very nice venue- lots of good energy. Had the extremely tasty and moderately spicy Thai Fish and Shellfish entree.. friends split the whole fish, which was also delicious and presented nicely.. mashed potatoes were a solid B, but the Brussels sprouts were great.. service was energetic and a good sense of humor..

   This restaurant is very good, but rated higher than it should be. Very good food, interesting menu but cramped tables, very loud. Mediocre wine list and very challenging to park.

   Great place! It’s upscale American and the dishes are very tasty. Nice staff and service as well. Only thing I would maybe change is perhaps have more food options. Overall a great experience and I will be back

   Food and service very good. One issue is the food comes out too fast despite request to serve a bit more slow

   Simply one of the best restaurants around. It was great when I first tried it 4 years ago and it is still utterly delightful.

   Tar and Roses has been our favorite special restaurant when we want really great food. The ambience feels like a cozy low lit hip club with a very attentive friendly staff. Try as many dishes that appeal to you because they’re all delicious. A few of our favorites are the balsamic glazed ribs, gnocchi, oxtail ravioli, acorn squash (new), mushrooms, hangar and ribeye steaks, whole fish… oh well, most of the menu really. Had a wonderfully enjoyable evening.
