The parking can be challenging, there's always a wait, it's noisy and crowded, and you'll have a good time. Prices are good, the food is sometimes surprisingly good, but often comfortingly predictable and good enough. Phil, the owner, is Greek, so you'll see perfect overlays of that cuisine with some dishes. He does not try to reinvent boiled water. He... More

Reliably good food and service at reasonable prices. Always a number one choice with our kids when they are home to visit. Prime rib is great, walleye and Greek meal choices. It is a little loud, so may not be for everyone. Cocktails are great, love that they have an outdoor patio waiting area now:)

I almost always have the walleye which is probably my favorite fresh water fish. The halibut special was excellent on one visit as was the Greek combination dinner on another (the owners are Greek). It can be a tight squeeze in there at times but always worth the wait. Locals know that this is the place for consistently good food... More

My husband and I went here for dinner as we were staying overnight at a B&B in Stillwater. The food was wonderful! I had the stuffed trout and my husband had the pork chop - delicious! The atmosphere is very loud and the tables are quite close together so it was difficult for my husband and I to hold a... More

Four of us came for my husbands birthday. Two kids... age 8, 9 and then two adults. I really enjoyed my walleye... probably the best I have had. My husband thought his pork tenderloin was good too although not raving but good. The kids menu is really lacking compared to the adult choices but perhaps they are trying to keep... More

I would have never found Phil's Tara if not for Trip Advisor! There were 6 of us celebrating a 25th anniversary...from the moment we walked in the door we were "hooked". The server greeted us like we were old friends. I'm glad we went at 830 on a Friday night. Our waitress was also great. A few of us had... More

I have been to there to eat a few times with friends and family, and no one has ever had anything they didn’t truly love. I personal love the Greek platter; it is a meal for two or dinner and lunch for the next day. My one word of advice is to get there early or make a reservation, because... More

We regularly go through Stillwater, but Phil's Tara Hideaway is indeed hidden away and we would likely have not discovered it except for it's high ranking by other Trip Advisors. We tried it a couple of times, and really like it. The menu is interesting, with a Mediterranean/Greek undertone but enough variety to satisfy all. The food tastes fresh and... More

By far the best laid back/reasonably priced dining restaurant on the east side of the twin cities. I've tried many different dishes there and they are always wonderful to the taste buds. My wife and I's favorite anniversary destination!! It does get a little crowded around the dinner hour, but if you can go there a little later, we find... More
