First time dining in tonight, but it will not be my last. I love the design on the inside, it’s moodily lit with a lot of indoor seating, a back room (where we sat), and would prefer, and an outdoor eating area. We are finally getting a taste of somefall weather, so it was nice to eat inside away from the cold. As mentioned, we sat in the very far back room, and it was thebest seating in the house in my opinion. Way less noisy and not as busy as the front room and warmer than the outside area. Iwas able to find street parking a block away for a 7PM Saturday dinner, however, they offer parking at the library across thestreet until 11PM on the weekends. The menu is really eclectic and has a lo...
One of the best restaurants in town! Hubby made reservations on a Saturday. Upon arrival we opted to be seated inside. Then I ordered the Moscato and hubby got their organic orange soda. For an appetizer we had the bruschetta, crab cake and oxtaildumplings-sooo delicious! Then we ordered the roasted corn, squid ink fettuccine and half chicken(a lil salty). We couldn'tresist ordering their delicious snapper but ended up taking it home. All in all this is one of my favorite restaurants in LosAngeles. The portions are small but we had no problem ordering a variety of dishes. The customer service was great. Willdefinitely be back!
I had heard many great things about Tar Roses, and I’m glad to say that it definitely lived up to the hype. Getting reservations proved to be challenging, but it was well worth the wait. I made an 8pm reservation for a Thursday night, and we only waited 5-10 mins for our table. We sat in the back where they have an almost open air dining room that’s a little more quiet and less hectic than the front space. Unique dishes and flavors to boot, and all the flavors were full, rich, and complex. We ordered about 6 dishes and they were all winners. Loved the dumplings especially. For sure I will be back.
AMAZING!! My hubby and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary in Santa Monica and went to Tar Roses for our anniversary dinner and it was the absolute best! Highly recommend the cauliflower, mushroom toast and of course the Snapper all dishes deserved a*chef’s kiss. Service was SUPERB and we received a beautiful anniversary dessert with compliments from the Tar Roses team.Thank you for making us feel so special on our special day.

This could have easily been a five-star experience with its outstanding food and excellent service. However, I was baffled by the choice of host, who came across as extremely arrogant and unwelcoming. There was no greeting upon arrival, and he barely looked up. The few words he did say made us feel like a burden. That said, I highly recommend trying the oxtail dumplings and the lamb.
The food at Tar & Roses was truly outstanding, and the service exceeded all expectations. Throughout the evening, three different staff members stopped by to chat with us about the dishes and share conversations, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Visiting from New Jersey, this place definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken liver and duck were absolutely exceptional!
