So good! Everything was fresh and homemade. We had butter bean hummus as a starter. highly recommend! (ask for extra bread). The fried mozzarella basilico was a tasty spin on an old classic. My fave dish was the amberjack with veggies in a tomato broth. The fish was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside in a gumbo-like broth with squash and okra. It’s a brown-bag restaurant so stop off at High Cotton Wine & Spirits Warehouse for something to pair with your meal. Also ordering is done at the front door before you go to your table so there’s a bit of a bottleneck just inside the door. Study the menu and have an idea of what you want when you arrive. I know it’s weird to tip prior to the meal, but we had immaculate service. Everyone here is YOUR server and takes care of you. I’m already planning my next meal here!

Tarasque is a great place to try out and then go back over and over again. They serve a rotating menu that changes every so often (every week?) so make sure to check out their Instagram to keep up to date with their freshest dishes. Of course they also serve some staple dishes, certain salads and pastas. While we were there we ordered the Gnudi with pearl onions and criminology mushrooms in basil cream sauce, Amberjack over herbed white beans and spinach in cream, zaatar spiced cucumber and basil salad, and a rigatoni with homemade sausage, onions, bell peppers, and pecorino. Let me tell you, there are some mighty fine chefs in Tarasque who know how to build great flavor with the local ingredients they’re working with. Everything is cooked very well so you get to experience good flavor, texture, and aroma. The whole team is hard at work at Tarasque, as the servers and cashiers are also great at their job. They are very accommodating and make sure that everything’s alright. You order at the front, and the cashiers there are well prepared to get you in the restaurant and get your bellies full.

A plate of pudding? The spaghetti tasted like chef boyardee, and the caesar salad was cut like slaw. This busy little menu promises big things but delivers poorly. Its like an italian bistro but ran like small ice cream shop. I had to get back in line to order after sitting down to look at the menu. You pay and tip before you get any service so there is no reason for them to try and meet your needs. I had to get up and go ask for our dessert at the end. There is no pacing; they brought out my dish 6 minutes before the others because it was a salad. Cold bread, covered in oil and grana but no butter to be seen.

I regularly go to this restaurant, about once every couple of weeks, or more. The food is very good and they have a nice changing menu. I usually spend around $200-300. However, I will not be back after I was turned away from placing an order tonight. Apparently, they don’t care about those people who regularly patronize their business, and they don’t need me patronage. With Bidenomics in full swing I will just stay home and save my money!!!!

The food here is delicious! Everyone in my family enjoyed it except my 8-year old, but he is really particular about his food. We will be back again as the food is delicious and the portions are huge. They offer family style for take-out only, so I can see us taking advantage of that in the future. A must try if you have never been here.

This was a cool little place that we hadn’t known about. The service was excellent and we were welcomed in and given instructions as you order and pay first then take a number and be seated. We thought we’d have a 25 minute wait but it ended up only being a few minutes. The food choices were excellent and the small plates were delicious. Cool take on those.
