    AMAZING views!!!! Absolutely breathtaking. Food was ok, nothing out of the ordinary except delicious bacon, but we only had breakfast. I would have given 5 stars but service was quite unfriendly. This detracted from the experience.

    Last night was our first time going to dinner with our puppy and Tarpy’s has the best heated patio. The service was wonderful, our server Jaqueline was excellent. She was welcoming and friendly. We ordered the artichoke, honey sriracha ribs, and shared the 14 oz ribeye and brussel sprouts, it was more than enough for 2 people. The food was flavorful and it came out fast. I would come back the next time I’m in town.
