Tarpy's Roadhouse, Monterey CA Restaurant Review
We are always excited to share our discoveries of local restaurants. If you are planning a trip to the Monterey Bay area Tarpy's Roadhouse is an authentic find. It’s located directly off of the Monterey Salinas Highway, and next to the Monterey Airport. It’s the perfect off the beaten track choice and only a ten-minute drive from Carmel. Drop by before your flight leaves. Plan ahead.
The building resembles a Tuscan villa. Set on five lush landscaped acres the gardens, hanging plants and vines provide a beautiful backdrop while your enjoying your meal. Tarpy's is a casual American country dining experience. You’ll have many different seating options to choose from including the The Stone Room, The Shell Room, The Courtyard , and my favorite the outdoor covered patio aptly named “The Front Porch.” It’s a delightful setting to enjoy great food and the glorious weather. The day we were there it was 70 degrees and sunny. Bring your sunglasses. Here’s a sampling of what we were served:
