TARLA MEDITERRANEAN BAR + GRILL

Went to Napa impromptu and hubby found this little gem! We went during happy hour and sat at the bar. Our bartender Ashley was super nice and can pour a drink! The ambiance was very sleek, contemporary, and modern. It was very beautiful.

Now let’s get to the fun part! We ordered Mac n’cheese, calamari & veggies, chicken kebab wrap, branzino, and the lamb plate. Let me just say that each dish was prepared beautifully. But, the flavors, oh my God, THE FLAVORS! The calamari was lightly battered and fried to perfection. No oily taste or residue. Came with a beautiful spicy aioli. The Mac and cheese…whew they are using some aged cheddar, Gouda, and Parmesan for real! Creamy and tasty! The chicken wrap pita was soft and sweet while the chicken was perfectly grilled and seasoned plus the Greek potatoes were bomb! The lamb plate was the least fav but still very delicious. But, honey that branzino was cooked to perfection in a light lemon butter sauce with the most flavorful cauliflower, carrots, and Brussel sprouts yummy!

Ashley asked if we wanted dessert and I couldn’t resist. We ordered the chocolate baklava with vanilla bean gelato and DAMN, PERFECTION!

It was an amazing dining experience! I never eat leftovers the next day and I ate these and it was just as good the next day! Put this on your list of restaurants to go to in Napa!

Definite recommend!

I would not give even one star if I could. There was hair in our food evidently cooked inside the food.

We came here for lunch and had a great meal. We ordered the saganaki, warm hummus, and zucchini cakes as appetizers; we ordered the stuffed eggplant, grilled chicken kebab plate, and grilled lamb kebab plate as mains; and we ordered the pistachio baklava for dessert. We thought the grilled lamb kebab plate and grilled chicken kebab plate weren’t anything special, and the lamb was somewhat tough. However, everything else we ordered was excellent, and our favorites were the stuffed eggplant, warm hummus, zucchini cakes, and pistachio baklava. The stuffed eggplant was one of the best eggplant dishes I’ve ever had. The service was great, and the executive chef even came out to greet us. We would definitely come again if we’re back in Napa!

The food was excellent!! It reminded us of our time in Jordan and Turkey. We loved it!

I wasn't overly impressed by the main I ordered (too much oil and lacking salt), but the chocolate cake was lovely. Margaritas are great as are the servers.
