As I look at some of the other reviews, I see that others have had a similar experience with C as their server. Because I deal in customer service, I can be a little hard to please. C made our dining experience the BEST! She was attentive and so engaging. And FUNNY! Quite simply, she made us happy. Loved the food, but loved C even more. She is an asset to the restaurant.

Ammatoli for the win based off of their descriptive menu choices. We were able to be seated immediately. We live nearby and had always seen it but never ventured inside. Our waiter, Cameron, informed us that we lucked out because it's usually a 2 hour wait. He was amazing at guiding us through the menu and recommended quite a few amazing selections. Arugula & Beet Salad w/ Salmon. The Avocado Delight is a must with added shrimp. Zaatar Manoushe w/ hummus. Pistachio Baklawa. A Date w/ Cake. Turkish Coffee. Everything was amazing and the ambience was a warm modern welcoming. We'll definitely be back and just incase, we'll make reservations. Thank you Cameron.

What a beautiful surprise, as we stepped inside of this gorgeous restaurant! The entrance and winding path easily had me at hello! Miso Greens Salad | I'm a salad girl and this is definitely a memorable bite! Between the juicy slices of mango, crispy wontons strips, red pepper, tangy miso dressing and more... I was craving each bite one after the other with the quickness! Haha! Every single bite and I'm not kidding, was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor, & mouth watering! I would 100% get the salad again and highly recommend it! Decor | Beautiful! What a stunning restaurant! I found myself looking around constantly!The lighting, presence of Buddhas sprinkled throughout, cozy seating with colorful pillows, wood interior, the colorful lighting... and don't even get me started on the gorgeous waterfront views! Tantalum easily transports your senses to Indonesia via food and atmosphere! I'm all for it and loved every moment of it! Customer Service | Irma was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu! Thanks again for helping me decide between the heirloom tomato salad and the miso green salad; tried something new! Overall | Yes, please! If a single salad was so memorable, I can only imagine a full meal! I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu on my next visit! Let's go!

Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10…read moreAmbiance: 10/10 When I walked in the luxurious, verdant entrance of Tantalum lines with tropical plants and and sultry design elements, I thought, "SURELY the reviews are wrong! This looks like a solid fine dining establishment." I continued to be impressed as walked through the foyer and was greeted by a friendly hostess and elegant live jazz music. If my experience ended there, this would have easily been a five star visit. Unfortunately things went downhill. We've received a writer who had the most nonchalant cold demeanor I've encountered by White staff in a long time. I feel like he would be a better fit at a more high-end pretentious restaurant. He definitely didn't make me feel comfortable or valued. The food was good but not impressive, I'm afraid. It didn't taste authentic or unique. We ordered the ceviche, Miso caramelized mahi-mahi, and yakiniku calamari. The ladder was easily the best dish of the bunch, but it also reminds me of orange chicken squid. I love the flavor and the texture though! I plan to return for happy hour to see if I can appreciate the food more when I don't have to pay full price. I think the food is a Todd overprice for the quality they offer. We'll report back after my second visit.

Short sum: homey vibes, good food and drinks and friendly staff…read more Pros: - Easy to make a reservation and we're accommodating to add one more person. - Love the staff. They're all super friendly and engaging and chime in convos. - We saw in a nice somewhat private spot in a corner that had this pull out shade. - Food and drinks are great. Had this bourbon twist of a pina colada. - Mac n cheese was good. They had this rice dish I forgot the name was inside this stone pot. Was bomb

Parking is hard. They have a lot on the back but it's always full. You need to try on the streets…read more The further away the easier you'll find a spot. It took 20 min to be sat. We arrived in a Friday around noon It took a while for us to get our order taken and for food to arrive. Truly that was the longest part. A table who got here before us was served before we were. It was getting pretty long We got the buscits which was a let down. They were cold. A bit hard and the butter was unable to be spread. The gumbo was less flavorful and if you are used to more flavorful gumbos then this one isn't for you. It it's more tamed. The rice was a little dry. It tasted like it could come from a package. The best part was the meat serving. The eggs Benedict were perfect. I loved the lemon salad that was served with it. The cut inside the eggs was great and cooked well. I would come back just to try more entrees. Avoid the biscuits unless you have them with gravy. Then let us know. The place is small with outside and inside seating. I attached a video of the view inside. We paid about $50 with tip for the three things and truly it was a good experience. If you like Bloody Marys I would say to come try because we noticed nearly every table getting served one.

My friend and I made the mistake of sharing one and immediately regretted it. Lesson learned: order your own. The Baby Back Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and hefty - big enough for 1-2 people to share. The Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass was firm, flaky, and a rather small portion. I needed more than just a drizzle of that amazing lemon beurre blanc! Save this spot for your next brunch outing or dinner date! The outdoor patio felt calm and cozy, while the candlelit indoors buzzed with energy. The warm, enthusiastic staff made every visit feel welcoming and fun. Final verdict: Order the Original Ribeye Melt & don't bother sharing!

Whoever said Nick's on 2nd has good food, they lied…read more I ordered the blackened fish sandwich, and it completely lacked flavor and seasoning. It was so bland I had to add salt just to bring it to life. Now, whoever said Nick's has the best butter cake, they were telling the truth! Ooh wee... that butter cake is GOOD. I've had butter cakes all over, and I've always sworn that Mastro's had the best one. Not anymore. Nick's officially takes the crown. The service was great, so I'll be back, but it'll be for the butter cake, not the food.

Easily obsessed with this place now. We've only gone once, but we love it…read more We were heading back to LA from doing something in Long Beach, and wanted to stop and have a drink somewhere quick. This place popped up, and it was happy hour. So we thought why not. We got lucky and found parking close (rare for that street). And walked over and immediately loved the vibe. We walked in and were greeted immediately, and then brought upstairs. The decor on the way up was awesome. The old school nature, with paintings and abstract vintage pieces.. love. It felt like we were in an old industrial building. We were surprised that it was pretty empty when we got up there. We sat at the bar, and love the decor upstairs too. There's a view of the street from up there as well that's beautiful. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly, and we each ordered a speciality cocktail on their happy hour. Both were delicious. I will say that the prices are a bit steep for me. Very glad we came during the happy hour. But really want to return to try the food and more drinks. Maybe on a special date night out!

One of the women (I missed her name but I believe her birthday is today) working there helped me find seating for my party. She was gracious enough even with there being little to no wiggle room- so shout out to her. Our servers were great, appetizers came out hot and delicious. I think we ordered 4 rounds of Brussels sprouts Drinks were tasty- highly recommend the espresso martini with a side of vanilla ice cream. Overall had a great time and appreciate the customer service!

This is an order at the counter type of place so there are no paper menus (billboard). We decided on the surf & turf (23.95) which included a small skinless salmon filet, 4 slices of tri tip, two sides, and a piece of bread. Everything was of good quality but lacked flavor (I got the garlic mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts). We also ordered a glass of cab each (9.50). With the 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine it came to almost 74 bucks! I understand everything is super expensive these days, but being this is an order at the counter type of establishment you'd think it would be a tad bit less expensive. I'd like to try this place again during happy hour with 50% off wine and beer and a selection of 4 food items at discounted prices. Service was ok (not the friendliest but not the worst). Plenty of parking available but tight spots.
