The drinks are good and it was a beautiful evening to sit outside. Great dinner at a great place with great service:)

Good service, interesting art…read more That said, 2/3rds of us disliked our food. The pesto salmon pasta was good, I tried a bite and agreed. The porter biscuit sandwich was so bad I asked them to remake it. The second time it was less burnt but still overcooked and the batter was too unpleasant to eat. The last of us had bourbon pecan chicken. It was better than my sandwich but didn't really taste like chicken due to so much seasoning or marinade (I tried a bite of it as well) and the grits were similarly over saturated with some sort of flavoring. Expensive!

Tarbox & Brown at Kissing Tree is one of the true standouts in San Marcos. Although Kissing Tree…read moreis a 55+ community, the restaurant itself is open to all -- and thank goodness, because the food and service are simply too good to keep behind any gate. The kitchen consistently turns out high‑quality dishes made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. The chef has clearly built a knowledgeable, confident staff who deliver a smooth, top‑tier dining experience from start to finish. I've eaten here many times, and nothing anywhere has matched their "Par 3" plate -- chicken salad, tuna salad, and egg salad served on crisp lettuce. Simple, fresh, and absolutely unmatched. The staff is always pleasant, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They're not afraid to tell you what they personally enjoy, which makes the whole experience feel warm and authentic. San Marcos is incredibly fortunate to have Tarbox & Brown. In the two years I've been a regular, they've only continued to raise the bar -- and that says everything.

The staff was on it the whole time--attentive without hovering, and our waitress actually seemed to like her job (rare these days). Place was clean, too, which again... late night. Impressive. We did the Dinner for Two for $40 because I love a deal that doesn't feel like a deal, and this one delivered. Appetizer, two entrées, dessert--no weird upcharges, no "that's not included" surprises. I got the chicken with vegetables and pasta, plus garlic bread and a salad. Everything tasted way better than a $40 bundle has any right to. The other entrée was a burger and fries--simple, hot, and legitimately delicious. For the app, we grabbed the cheese bites (both cheddar and mozzarella) and honestly, I could've eaten a bucket of them. Dessert was a giant slice of cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a display case and tasted even better. Overall? Shockingly great experience. Fast, clean, delicious, and an actually good value. If every late‑night dinner went this smoothly, I'd never cook again.

We called early in the morning and made reservations for 11:00am and we were seated right away. The servers are friendly and very patient. It's breakfast or lunch your choice. They have a nice menu of beverages and today's choice was cinnamon swirl latte. For breakfast I ordered Harvest (V, GF) breakfast with a blueberry pancake and fruit on the side. This omelet was filled with avocado and was really good. I have been to other locations and they are consistent. Overall it was enjoyable.
