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

I have been dining at Tara's for over 6 years. We have never had a bad meal & have been given the VIP treatment each visit. I see some have wrote it's pricey, but if you have dined at the finest steakhouses in the country then you are aware of what $50-$70 per person gets you - The highest quality... more

The restauraunt may not look that nice on the outside but it is top class service and food inside. My wife and I had the T-Bone for 2, the filet melted in our mouths and the strip was delicious. I can't understand why anyone would give a negative review to this place. The prices were reasonable for a top class... more

When my husband & I visit Marco Island we spend our first & last night at Tara's. We can always count on the consistency & quality of their food & service. Whether you are in the mood for steak or seafood this is the place to get it. The stone crab claws & lobster tail are my favorite. My husband... more

Average meal for way above average price. Service was below average. We ordered our kids a vegetable with their food and it didn't arrive until after they were full. The wine was way over priced for the quality. The steaks were average at best. My veal chop was over done but I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. My... more
