Enjoyed a ladies lunch with friends and a glass of wine and salad that was overdressed. Hadn't been to Tarpy's Roadhouse for lunch and a small group for a few years. Nice spot with ample parking and easy drive from Watsonville and Carmel. The bar area is cozy, has banquettes and white table cloths -- nice!

Tarpy's Roadhouse consistently has good food and good service. They do get pretty busy most nights they are open, so it is definitely not a "hidden gem" . The menu has the perfect range and the wall art is worth a visit here all on it's own.

Wonderful staff helped the whole dining experience throughout. Very attentive and professional. Food was delicious as always. This was my father's favorite restaurant and we always make it back when we are in town and are never disappointed.
