| - I've been twice and really took my time deciding how I felt about Tango. The concept, location and menu sound great, but obviously there is something amiss (me and hubby are the only people on the patio on a Saturday night in August?). We tried a lot of things on the menu that were great, and a few things that were just so close to being great but missed the mark. For instance, the pear and Gorgonzola flatbread excited me on the menu and disappointed me upon tasting. There was too much Gorgonzola, the pear added a nice crunch but not enough sweetness to balance the cheese, and then suddenly the flavor of the pesto sauce hits you and it's confusing, just a little too much going on. I thought of my pear, Gorgonzola and honey pizza at Cibo, and realized they had it right. When I bit into that pizza, I had my 'oh my God this is so good!' moment, with the honey rounding that dish out perfectly.
But curiosity will bring me back to Tango at least once more. I still haven't tried the gnocchi or the avocado and goat cheese salad. In the mean time, remember that the lobster roll and pear flatbread are worth missing, and the cedar Brie and beef poutine will probably make you smile.
