I made reservations for my parents anniversary and spoke with Tara while making the reservation, we purchased a gift certificate to be sure the dinner was covered, and Tara came out to the table to wish them a special anniversary with Champagne, and dessert to end the evening compliments of their daughter. I will say my parents were very surprised... more

My husband and I have been coming to Taras on our wedding anniversary for the past three years. I am from New England, and I believe Tara has the best Lobster Bisque I have ever had. I always get the 8 oz center cut filet and my husband always gets the 12 oz. we then split a lobster tail. The... more

Tara must think her restaurant is in New York with the prices that are being charged. Give me a break, $49.00 for a 12 oz. filet mignon served with mushrooms and $9.00 espressos. If the quality were there I could possibly return. But, unfortunately the steak was bland and tough and the espresso tasted burnt. If you are on Marco... more

I have to agree with another reviewer, the view is nice. Period. My husband and I live on Marco and have eaten at Taras probably 5 times. Only one time was the service even close to adequate. Last night, dinners came before our salads. The waiter dropped off our steaks, never stopped by to ask if everything was OK, prepared... more

Tara's was a great experience. The food was top-notch, service excellent and water-view. We ate outside overlooking the bay. There was music playing at the outdoor bar to enjoy. The steaks were exquisite as they were dry aged and the lobster tail was also perfect. Side dishes are extra but are enough for two. They were very accomodating. Tara stopped... more

My husband and I ate at Tara last week when we were on Marco Island for vacation and it was great. I would definitely recommend it! I had the small Filet and my husband had the Strip Steak, and both were great! There are not many upscale restaurant options with outdoor dining on Marco Island and this was perfect. We... more

We were vacationing on Marco over Christmas 2008 and our concierge recommended Tara's for a family dinner. I ordered a 10 oz. lobster tail for $34.00, and was given a plate with a steamed tail that was rolled up in a ball the size of an egg and tasteless. Everyone else's food was equally dissapointing. The restaurant was very busy... more

I visited Tara's Steak and Lobster House in late November. The setting is absolutely beautiful. Our waiter was wonderful and offered to take a picture for us. I ordered the lobster with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The food delicious. The price was very appropriate for the level of service and quality of the meal. I would definitely recommend this... more

My husband and I stayed on Marco for a min-vacation while visiting Florida with our two year old. Our night out we choose Tara Steak and Lobster House - My husband owns a restaurant and I manage a hotel, so we are hard to please at times. Tara's met our expectations in every way! our server Lindsey was friendly, offered... more
