Tark's Grill

Went here with my pre-pre-wife and had an excellent experience. The food was well-portioned and delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The menu has plenty to choose from as does the wine list. Would recommend for any occasion!

Best Fried Oysters in town! Great Bartenders!

My husband and I joined 5 other individuals for a business dinner at Tarks on Tuesday, 8/27/13.  Our "ok" food was overshadowed in a bad way by a server named Phil whom we felt had a steady stream of obnoxious/inappropriate remarks.  My husband and I have a good sense of humor and we assume Phil thought he was trying to be "funny" but he wasn't.

Several examples:  Initially, there was one empty seat at our table (for our last arriving guest).  Phil asked if someone was going to occupy the seat and we explained the last person was on his way.  Phil said:  "well then I'll take his seat" and so he did for a few moments.  

Phil started the ordering process with me.  I ordered; my husband was seated next to me.  When my husband began to state his order, Phil said:  "Who said it was your turn?".  My husband paused, looked at Phil for a moment and just went ahead with his order.  

Another member of our party asked about the crab tower appetizer and Phil then told us that he and his wife were "working on baby #4" and went on to explain that the crab tower was helpful in that effort.  Another member of our party commented out loud he had had the crab soup on a previous visit to the restaurant and was thinking of ordering it.  Phil said:  "too late...I've already written it down; you're getting it".  The guest just glared at him.

The above mentioned crab tower appetizer was pricey but good.  Our table also ordered calamari and it was good.  I didn't find any crab in my Maryland crab soup.  The soup was spicey.

I ordered the crab cake sandwich.  The crab cake was fine.  One side of the roll was burned.  The accompanying fries were heavily salted (way too much for my taste although my husband had fries with his meal and while he agreed the fries were very salty, he didn't mind the level of saltiness).  My husband had the ribs and said he enjoyed them.  I had chocolate chip ice cream for dessert and while the serving was small, it was good.

Overall, the food was "ok"....not great by any means and the behavior of the server was, in our opinion, inappropriate.
