I ordered the turkey club…read morewith fries which was about $15, which at first felt a little pricey, but the sandwich was made exactly to my liking, was fresh and honestly worth it for the quality. Everything was cooked perfectly and I had zero complaints. What really stood out though was their Wednesday half-price pasta special. They offered options like chicken parm, spaghetti and meatballs, sausage and ziti, and chicken broccoli Alfredo. I went with the chicken broccoli Alfredo and for $8 it was an absolute steal. The portion was massive and the Alfredo sauce was delicious....creamy, flavorful, and clearly not one of those bland jarred sauces (hard no for us). I'm picky about Alfredo and this completely delivered. I've gotten three meals out of it already, but it could easily feed two adults depending on portions. It's definitely a heavier pasta dish, so I can't imagine finishing it all in one sitting. This is absolutely going into my Wednesday dinner rotation. Really impressed overall.

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with our experience tonight…read more Our bill was around $100, and unfortunately it was some of the worst food we've had in the area. We ordered steak tips medium rare and a chicken sandwich. The steak tips came out severely overcooked , burnt on the outside, tough, and hard as a hockey puck. The chicken sandwich seemed absolutely drenched in what tasted like Frank's RedHot or a similar hot sauce, completely overpowering everything else. What's frustrating is that we've eaten here before and had a great experience, which is why we came back. This visit felt completely different. I honestly wondered if there was a different chef in the kitchen. The service itself was okay, and to be clear, we weren't looking to make a scene or demand items be taken off the bill. However, most of the food was left on the plate, and nobody stopped by to ask if there was an issue or why it wasn't being eaten. Maybe this was just an off night, but based on this experience, it's hard to justify spending $100 here again.

I visited Tambo for lunch today and I will definitely be back! The first thing I noticed was how clean the restaurant was. Its small, with about 6 tables but it was nicely decorated. I ordered the vegetable samosas, rice and beans, and plantains. The rice came with this deliciously spicy tomato-based sauce. I can't wait to go back and try some more items from the menu. Portions size were large and the prices were reasonable. read more
