Description: For a Marco steak house treat, Tara's is tailor-made to deliver. With an atmosphere dedicated to the distinguished, Tara's consistently provides patrons with an upscale flair of the finest aged beef, seafood and lamb. Settle in among the cherry-wood and black-linen theme that offers a hint of the tropics with the elegant lighting that is the essence of Tara's and enjoy fresh bread with Tara's special butter containing herbs, shallots and garlic. Tara's signature "Shebang Sauce," is also included, and this combo of tomato, onion, horseradish and honey is a tasty treat that goes well with everything from bread to seafood and steak. With an impressive arsenal of appetizers from Shrimp Cocktail to Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Tara's list of starters will easily tease the appetite. However, Tara's wedge of lettuce with blue cheese and bacon is truly a salad that stands out, and a unique combo of beefsteak tomatoes and onions will be a big hit for those who wish to venture outside the normal salad routine. Tara's offers an extensive wine list featuring a proprietor's selection from premier vineyards. No mater what the taste, entrée or preference, Tara's wine cellar is well equipped to please any palate. The side dishes at Tara's include creamed spinach, garlic potatoes, cubed potatoes and corn. All the side dishes are a credit to Chef Javier, but special recognition must be mentioned for the creamed spinach. Located at 969 North Collier, Marco Island, Tara's is open for diner from 5:30 until 9 p.m. daily and reservations are recommended (394-0212). Private parties are lovingly arranged, and tucked away alcoves offer semi-private settings for special occasions.
