Before checking out a comedy show, a girlfriend and I wanted to have a light dinner. Since she had such a great experience at Tango before, I was totally up for another go at trying tapas.
I was expecting it to be super busy considering it was a Saturday and the parking lot was ridiculously full, but it surprisingly quiet empty in Tango. (I think because there's 4 full sized restaurants in this building you're battling all these people for parking)
We were seated at a window table and our server was kind enough to take our bottle of wine to chill while we settled in and looked over the menu. Honestly everything sounded amazing, but we had to keep in mind we couldn't eat ourselves to a food coma since we were heading out after. We decided on the wonton crusted prawns, cedar baked brie, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and seared scallops.
The food was nicely timed, we were able to enjoy each dish before the next came out and they were all amazing in their own way. The prawns were crunchy, brie was gooey goodness accompanied by a tangy cranberry & orange compote and both the asparagus and scallops were cooked to perfection.
My arm didn't have to be twisted to get some dessert - the ice cream sandwich with habanero gelato sounded interesting. The first few bites were good, but the gelato got overpowering - the spiciness kind of attacked your throat like you were doing the cinnamon challenge. I'm glad I tried something different but I don't think I'd get it again.
Looks like team tapas is slowly winning me over :)
