| - Tamari has a great special from 10 pm to 12 am where the Robata skewers and ceviche are $1.00 each. This is a really great opportunity to try the food without committing to a pricey dinner.
We tried the chicken, calamari, and shrimp skewers. All were really delicious, particularly the chicken, which came with grilled asparagus. I also liked the contrast of the three dipping sauces. We tried the California roll, and it was good and fresh tasting. Not a bad price at $6.00. Overall, the menu is very creative and a welcome change for the Pittsburgh dining scene. However, I would have to agree that the menu is more split between Asian items and Argentinian items, rather than a true fusion of the two cuisines.
The drink menu is reasonably priced, with glasses of wine for $7.00, The signature cocktails, which are creative and sophisticated, are typically priced at $9.
The decor of Tamari is very sophisticated, with Asian influences that reflect the theme of the restaurant. The crowd was relaxed, with a variety of casual to formal in dress. Our server was friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable and attentive.
Tamari is a truly upscale and innovative restaurant, without being pretentious or over priced. For me, this is a winning combination that I will be sure to visit again and again.
