Tala House

All I can say is WOW! Do not sleep on this wonderful addition to A-ville!I was excited to taste every single dish - and each one exceeded my expectations. Everything was fresh, presented well and with well balanced flavors.Not Pictured:- Figs on whipped honey ricotta - This is the most delicious appetizer I've ever had. The figs were fresh which are hard to find. The honey ricotta was just sweet enough. This is a must try!- Halloumi cheese - the fresh blueberry jam balanced out the salty cheese. Pictured:- Seabass - cooked perfectly and very fresh fish. The portobello risotto complemented the fish well.- Salmon - the fish with the fruit and avocado mash was a match made in heaven. Just the right amount of spice!Tala dessert - super rich chocolate mousse which is my taste!If their mocktail menu is an indication of what their cocktails will be like - I can't wait to try them! On top of the outstanding food, the patio is lovely and the service is top notch! Felt like a fine dining experience without the pretentiousness. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive. Well done, Tala House! And welcome to the neighborhood.

Tala House was a last minute, fantastic Yelp find. It looked brand new and was designed beautifully. Inside decor was clean, modern and very chic and they have an outdoor area that was beautiful as well. My husband is a general contractor and commercial real estate developer and he was very impressed.Service was great and everyone greets you with a warm smile so it felt very warm and inviting. The owner Ash came over to talk to us and check in on how everything went, which I always appreciate, but he did it in a very genuine way. As we spoke, we discovered his sister has the same name as me and he has the same name as my brother which just added to the family vibe :)Finally the food was amazing and we enjoyed everything:1) tuna crudo tostado: 5/5 - Amazing flavors with a bit of a kick (and I love serrano so if you are super sensitive to heat, u might wanna skip it)2) watermelon salad: 4/5 - It had feta, pistachios and balsamic which was refreshing but the flavor wasn't as exciting as the tuna crudo but still a great summer option3) roasted cauliflower: 4/5 - anything with chili crisp gets me but most surprisingly my husband who isn't really a cauliflower fan liked it so we'd probably order it again4) sea bass: 5/5 - cooked to perfection. delicious, light but packed with tons of flavor. 5) skirt steak: 5/5 - 6oz which is on the small side but perfect for me and the chimichurri sauce was delicious and not too oily. our waiter surprised me with some grilled serrano which gave it an extra kick that I lovedEverything all in with tax and tip was under $150 which is pretty good considering we had a salad, app, side and got sea bass and steak. We will 100% be back!

Beautiful patio ( be warned patio seating on a first come first serve basis only so you can't make a reservation out there ). Service was good, food was very good. Restaurant was LOUD. Not sure exactly what the acoustic issue was , but it was hard to hear my dining partners in the dining room.Our group of 6 started with the Halloumi ( delicious), beet salad ( also delicious) and cauliflower ( yep, also delicious again )Was very happy with my Cesar salad made light with Greek yogurt dressing and grilled chicken .Husband really enjoyed the sea bass but portion was quite small . Loved the BYOB ( this policy could change soon as restaurant is quite new). Prices were reasonable and fair. Would go back if I could snag a patio spot ....

We had a wonderful meal at Tala House. The service was impressive and the quality of ingredients in the food was top notch.We had great mocktails and the dessert selection was presented tableside. So hard to choose!! A fantastic neighborhood addition.

This place seems quite new - we walked in without a reservation and got a great table, and every dish that we ordered was great. The heirloom tomatoes are especially good, and so is the burrata with beets. Our waiter seemed a bit disappointed that we didn't order a main I definitely think I'll be back! Great spot to take parents or friends.

Have dined twice. One at the bar and one in the dining room. Very good staff. Two owners visited at the bar and also at our table on the other visit. Sea bass dish is magnificent. Salmon was a delight, flavorful and nice spice. Will return often.

Really enjoyed my dinner here. The back patio is very quaint and shady, seems like this space and the back room are the more popular seating zones.Got the verano Peligroso mocktail which was fabulous and refreshing. We shared guacamole appetizer and all agreed the chips had an excellent salt ratio on them. Guacamole was also so easy to eat and tasty.I got the salmon which was cooked perfectly, had nice crispy edges and a tasty glaze. Next time I'd order a side of fries or cauliflower with it - needs a carb. My friends for ahi tuna and each loved it.We didn't get dessert but they came around with a nice tray showing them and they each looked scrumptious. I'd like to also try a salad and the steak as I saw both come out to other tables and looked like nice portion sizes!Nice staff, no complaints.

Overall, this place is great. Gorgeous interior and also fantastic patio. Service was good overall. Our party of four had the tuna crudo tostada, roasted cauliflower, and halloumi cheese appetizers. I enjoyed them most in the reverse order I listed them. (In fairness, I am not a tuna lover, and all thee of my tablemates are and raved about the tostada.) Everyone loved their entrees: I had the prime allen brothers filet mignon, which was great. I am not a huge mushroom lover but for those who are huge mushroom lovers, you will lose your minds over the giant slice of mushroom served with your steak. For dessert, we had not one, not two, not three, but four desserts, which was both insane and delightful. The Josephine was by far the favorite, and in my opinion followed by the Sara, the Emilia, and the Lyla. I thought the bill was reasonable, if not just a tiny bit overpriced for BYOB. I do look forward to coming back here.

Amazing,again! We came back and brought a friend as it's the perfect place to share and be together. The food was so delicious. This time, I had the ahi tuna entree which was the best I've ever tasted. Our friend and my husband had the sea bass which they loved. We tried the elote which was fabulous, and also ordered the haloumi with blueberries and roasted cauliflower as we knew they were great. The management and staff couldn't be more gracious and welcoming. The patio was beautiful with flowers, a Japanese maple tree and greenery. Great ambience. Can't wait to return and share with more friends and family.

Highly recommended!Sat near the kitchen while waiting for our table and watched the magic - every dish looked spot on! We were very happy with our experience here and can recommend this establishment with 100% confidence! Enjoy!!!
