Tarla Mediterranean Bar + Grill

Best dining experience we have enjoyed in nearly 8 years. Food, Ambiance and Service all a 5 event. The food tasted better than it read in the description, Santiago our server was top notch, very attentive, yet did not hang around and have dinner with us. His situational awareness was refreshing and noticeable. We ate out side and as soon as it started to cool off he ignited the outdoor heat lamp. Just excellent food, service and atmosphere. 5/5 for Tarla!! Add another 5 for visit from the manager!!

Tarla Grill in Napa provided an exceptional New Year's Eve experience. The ambiance was enchanting, with creative lighting fixtures creating a warm atmosphere.

The delicious Baba Ghanoush, Stuffed Eggplant, and standout Whole Branzino Fish with Saffron Couscous made the evening memorable. Attentive service added to the overall excellence.

Highly recommended for both exquisite cuisine and a delightful ambiance.

i had such a great experience here at tarla! i came here yesterday with family for my early birthday celebration and we decided to drive up to napa for the day. we chose tarla after searching for a new restaurant to try, and after seeing all the great reviews i knew we had to come try ourselves!

tarla is located in downtown napa. we were lucky to find street parking right in front of the restaurant but just keep this in mind if you plan on visiting! the inside is very inviting and cozy in a sense.

service was impeccable, a 10/10 and they are very accommodating! staff is very attentive and friendly as well.

as for the food, everything was amazing. i attached the unfortunately very few photos i took lol. i ordered the grilled lamb burger and it was delicious! it was cooked perfectly and the greek fries were so good (im still thinking about them!). the other apps/dishes we ordered that aren't pictured are: the warm hummus, saganaki, white cheddar mac and cheese, and the grilled octopus salad. i wish i took more pictures but i was definitely too caught up in the experience (not very yelp elite of me LOL).

overall, i highly recommend tarla, and i do plan on coming here again when i visit napa again!

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 love Mediterranean food and this place DID NOT, COULD NOT DISAPPOINT!!!

We came as a party of 6 at around 1pm and they were able to squeeze us in! It was a great restaurant, clean interior, wonderful waitress, couldn't complain!

Mac and cheese: it smelled of white cheese (my dad hates it but I did not mind it at all) it was pretty good for a Mediterranean restaurant and honestly I was craving Mac and cheese

Chicken wrap; I LOVE a good chicken wrap and oh my god this is amazing I highly highly recommend it. Their sauce is great, the chicken is NOT dry so don't worry!

Spanakopita: it's just one huge one!!! But it's so delicious!!!

Warm hummus: it's hummus and it's delicious! They ended up giving us extra pita bread too!

Overall, the food was so freakin delicious! I highly highly recommend it!

Napa Valley is as much a culinary destination as it is a wine destination, so naturally the expectations are high for restaurants in the area. Tarla is no exception to those high standards, and my hubby and I were excited to dine here recently during the Napa Valley Restaurant Week. We ended up skipping the Restaurant Week prefix menu though, and opted instead to sit at the bar for Happy Hour! The bartender, Ashley P., took care of us and was friendly & attentive.

Since it was a Tue and early evening, it wasn't busy at all, so we were able to walk right in and find 2 seats at the bar. The Happy Hour menu offers up some nice drink specials and food as well, and everything we ordered was full of flavor and absolutely delicious! Plus, we were happy to know that there were vegan/vegetarian options, which I've come to realize is hard to find or very limited in Wine Country. Stand outs for us were:
* Warm Hummus with Pita (sounds simple, but they level it up with smoked paprika, EVOO & pine nuts!)
* Spanokopita (so light and flakey)
* Tarla Sangria (refreshing and not too sweet)

"Tarla" mean "field" in Turkish, as this is a Turkish & Greek restaurant. What makes Tarla Mediterranean Bar & Grill stand out even more is their strong commitment to only using seasonal, organic and locally sourced ingredients. We both felt like that really came through in the flavors. The restaurant itself is clean, modern (I particularly liked the light fixtures in the ceiling and orange barn door-like panels on the stone walls), and spacious. They also have a nice outdoor patio area if your prefer to dine outdoors and watch the Downtown Napa scene right out front!

My sisters and I stopped into Tarla for a quick bite and were immediately welcomed with open arms. They were very considerate and intentional about their interactions with us and our server was really sweet!

We ordered the Grilled Lamb Kebab Plate and can see why she asked us if we wanted to add another kebab to our order. The lamb offered was incredibly small for the price of the dish. The soup lacked flavor and needed a bit more salt and spices. The rice was cooked perfectly. Overall was an okay dish.

One raining Sunday, we decided to go to downtown Napa to cap off our week. Our party of three ordered the lamb and chicken kebab and burger. All our dishes were good and served promptly. The service is also wonderful. They are attentive and efficient.

The place is huge and there are plenty of seating. If you are in the area and don't have a reservation, you might be lucky like us that walked in.

We will definitely be back.

I ordered the stuffed eggplant and cleaned my plate. It was so good!
The place was not to busy when we got seated at 12ish, however it was jam packed when we left. Make a resrvation! There is indoor and outdoor seating.
I hope they add more vegan dishes to their menu. Better for me and the environment.

We love Tarla in downtown Napa. It's a go-to because my husband works a block away, so I like to pop in and have a cocktail and an appetizer or two when I'm not there having dinner with friends. Plus their food is literally always outstanding.

Ambience is classy, but relaxed. They have a great bar and we love sitting outside on their sidewalk patio with the fire features (at night). Service is always lovely & this Friday night experience was no exception. In fact, the new manager Bobby was outstanding (customer service driven, kind, entertaining, professional). We normally go in as a couple or with adult friends, but this time we brought our 7 month old grandson & Bobby was so accommodating: In fact, our grandson fell in love with him. The charming female chef also came out to say hello & interact with our grandson (who was a hit that night) - she was so kind and brought him a little side-dish of cucumber and banana slices for him, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

There's not a thing on the menu we wouldn't recommend, but we especially love the hummus with fresh pita to start (or the dip trio with baba ghanoush, tzatziki and olives). Their spanakopita is excellent, as are their kebabs and rice ... and we also love their fabulous authentic desserts (the apricots are a must-try).

Highly recommended. As solid a restaurant experience as it gets. 5-stars
